Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don't make sense to me.

Sherlock

Person of Interest

For all Mankind

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sherlock is good until the writers tried to subvert expectations to the point of ruining the show in the last season. It kind of ruins the earlier seasons as well though because none of it amounts to anything. If you can ignore all that and take the episodes individually it might still be enjoyable.

For all mankind is like that in the earlier seasons. The incompetence demonstrated in the last seasons is a major letdown.
