The one that stuck in my memory was the first season focusing on the sorceress/witch character, and the second on the character being trained, and the titular Witcher has very little focus for a show literally called The Witcher.
• The "Trump's lawyer is dumber than Trump" article I was referencing
• Gaslighting
