So fucking annoying lately. The new ITV drama Winter for example. The sub or background plot takes over the episode plot and you end up getting lost(even though the writing is awful and incredibly inconsistent)

Ludwig did the same whilst simultaneously developing the most annoying character since season two of the wire or Janice Soprano.

The subplot is always shoehorned in an attempt to get a second series. Later to be exposed/outed/developed in series/season two.

Just write better
