I think one big example that come to mind is Mr.Robot.
It’s like the writers took all the questions that they layed in the person mind and just throw it in the garbage and replace it with new blank canvas to write a new story.

I gotta say, I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion at all. I’ve been in a dozen or more writing groups, and this was the single most universally detested trope. Nobody, in any of those groups supported the trope at all.
The closest I’ve ever heard anyone come to defending it outside of writing groups is a few that said Dallas did it first, and everyone else just copied it.
I’m fairly confident that your opinion is a very common one.
