This is probably my most disliked trope in media. I've been trying to find it on TV tropes, but the results I'm getting aren't this. If you have a good link, please share it!

It's definitely one of the ones that is hard to pull off and have the audience still sympathize with or like the character. In real life, there's a reason we don't ever hear about the undercover officers or the double agents. They're not well liked.
