• When Agrestic burned down at the end of S3 of WEEDS.
They should have just spun it off into a new show altogether, because so many great characters/actors were just... gone.

• Poussey's death in ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. The way it was filmed was cruel, disrespectful, exploitive and insensitive to the audience. I know Samira Wiley wanted out, but there had to be a better way to tell the same story. I know they wanted to do "ripped from the headlines", but it was too soon after the murder of Eric Garner, and 
when they came back the next season, they had the GAUL to center the experience of the guard who killed her!

It soured the whole rest of the run of the show.
