Anyone on Doctor Who. There's a universal war going on, and you have so many decisions made by characters that don't make sense but are accepted as barriers anyways.
Doctor Who's target audience is grade school children. If you keep that in mind, the characters motivations make more sense.
I was in middle school when I started questioning some of that, for example whenever the police try to combat an antagonist, it's like they willingly use the wrong weaponry every time, or anyone can sneak in anywhere without being vetted. Given the plot armor, I wouldn't put it past Davros that he wanted to fail.
I show it to my niece and nephew and they are crazy for it. But I learned the hard way that it can scare the shit out of them. The episode with the space whale... Those angry faces from the double headed machine people... So I have to make sure it's tame for a while. I'm thinking they don't get to know about the Weeping Angels until junior high
