The Good Place is one example.

    I wanted to like that show, but I only watched the first season. After a couple episodes they seemed to really ramp up the hamminess and cheesy production. I felt like the writers/director wanted me to take the show seriously, but did not take it seriously themselves. I don't remember the details at all now, I just remember a lot of over-acting and corny dialogue from everybody except the lead. That and the goofy acrobatic fight choreography which I, personally, can't stand (though is by no means a deal breaker on its own).

      It is kinda metatextual as how serious are you supposed to take the idle rich fucking around with eachother. But really they didn't handle it as well as they could of.
