Not just a specific scene, or episode, but characters repeatedly surviving when they shouldn't.

I feel like Handmaid's Tale deserves a mention. Throughout the series we see June's peers swiftly mutilated or killed even for minor offenses.

June herself, past a certain point, is Gilead's public enemy number one. Which would be fine if they wanted to tell the story of her as an activist in exile, or a resistance leader who always manages to escape by the skin of her teeth. But no, she keeps getting caught and nothing ever comes of it.
