I know this is probably a common topic. For me, I’m not sure if it’s a “trope” or just totally misinformed writing, but it’s how many authors approach alcoholism. Some examples are Girl on the Train and The House Across the Lake, among HUNDREDS. If anyone else here has struggled with alcoholism, you know it’s not just "i woke up after downing an entire bottle of whiskey but was able to shower, down a cup of coffee, and solve a murder. "

    Multiple fake-out deaths. After a while I just want someone to really die!

    On the other hand, I’m also tired of so many people dying that all the people I liked are gone, and the few remaining original characters now have impenetrable plot armor because someone has to survive from beginning to end.

    It’s funny you mentioned these, because while it’s not really an issue in the comics as much, my husband and I were just watching a recap of the entire Walking Dead TV series and these two points were some of the biggest issues that made it unbearable by the end, and we weren’t even sitting through actual episodes lol
