Ozark (2017)
Good acting, terrible writing
It's simply one of those shows that combine excellent actors with bad plots and no continuity in terms of characters at all. Everything serves the purpose of the next spectacular plot twist. I realize most people don't care but I think some care for narrative with at least the minimum of coherence isn't too much to ask for.
Veep: Iowa (2019)
Veep is one of my all time favorites but skip this season
Seriously, of all the shows I've seen crash and burn the last season of Veep is a failure for the ages. Bad plot writing doesn't imply harsh criticism of politics and the Trump era, it simply means bad writing. Lazy is not the new professional and getting a season of a show you no longer care about out of the way as soon as possible isn't the new respect for your audience. Characters are treated like cartoons, plot twists happen between episodes (tbf kind of genius if you don't know how to tell a story!), and all the wonderful wit and smarts and those surgically exact irony incisions that made this show the finest of its kind is sipping a margarita on the beaches of Venice I imagine, cause it ain't here.
