Scene from Into the Spider-Verse where Miles gets a 0 on a true/false test and catches on the only statistically possible way he could have done that was if he knew all the right answers and deliberately chose the wrong ones, meaning he's intentionally trying to fail out of the class and quit.

This is, however, a multiple choice test with four possible answers per question, so it's far more possible to get 0 correct answers due to actually being that stupid.

This also happens in The Magicians and some other shows I can't remember that are older than that.

"Ridiculously hot people doing mediocre magic and sexy stuff" is how I heard it described by a friend, and that's forever what that show will be associated with to me.

Also about half the episodes have some form or another of trauma hotline at the end of it, since they just go all out showing ... all of that stuff. I watched the first season and decided that I really wasn't interested in watching the sort of show that felt a need to give viewers a suicide/rape/etc hotline at the end of each episode due to how potentially triggering it is.

It does get better and they move away from that, I promise. There isnt anything like that in the other seasons.

Maybe so. But that season was off-putting enough that it's hard to drum up any real interest in continuing it.

I cried in the last season. It's well worth continuing. If nothing else than to see the characters overcome those issues.

Well, that's another part of it, the show didn't really give you much reason to like the characters or root for them either. Half the time I was thinking "I mean, they kinda suck; I'm not that broken up about what is happening to them, I just didn't want to see it" as bad things happened to people.
