Most of the major series. Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad… what contrived situation can writers either a) use as shock factor, or b) make the situation worse in some incredibly unlikely way. Throw in a dose of shitty relationships, too. While not actually putting a ton of effort into plot, wit, thinking characters instead of reactionary ones, or original ideas. They’re soap operas with varying degrees of violence that get worse writing as the show carries on.
