Battlestar Galactica. Like a lot of the shows people have been mentioning, all it did was raise the stakes every episode. It didn't feel like it was building anything meaningful, just building up to something.
The most meaningful example of this (spoilers for like a twenty year old show) for me was when they're in the ship looking for water or whatever and the human cylon just ignores the indicator saying "Water here! Check here!" and the scene just. keeps. going. I swear it felt like half the episode.
I enjoyed episodes that had their own story, like the one with Richard Hatch in prison ship.
That scene in particular - spoilers - is her realizing that she might be a cylon and literally not being able to control herself to reveal there's water cause she's a sleeper agent.
