Me too. Not sure why it happens so often. The best shows are the ones that have a simplest premise and let it unfold naturally.
Take one of the best shows of all time: The Fugitive.
Man framed for the murder of his wife, running from the law while trying to find the real killer.
The show never deviated from that plot point. There was never a government conspiracy - just a bad one-armed guy that killed the hero's wife.
Simple stuff. Great show.
TV nowadays overthinks itself.
