    It’s less of an issue in comedies, but main characters becoming Flanderised in drama series is where it becomes obvious they’ve run out of ideas.

    For example, at the beginning of Stranger Things, Hopper had basically given up on life, and over the course of the first two seasons he finds purpose again through helping find Will, and later, raising Eleven as a surrogate daughter… And then in season 3 he becomes ANGERY MAN WHO FIGHTS PEOPLE - and that’s about it.
