* ''Series/{{Yellowstone}}'': Season 3 has several moments where the plot stops cold so that TheFixer, Angela, can lecture Chief Rainwater about the plight of Native Americans -- how they lost their land, and how nothing is being done to fix the systemic issues that plague TheRez, even today. This escalates to the point where the Season 3 finale has give two tracts about how the American government has broken every treaty it has ever signed, "including their most recent one with Iran."

* On ''Series/{{CSINY}},'' Creator/GarySinise, a noted veterans' advocate in real life, seems to have influenced Mac Taylor's dialogue about veteran-related issues now and then. 'Clean Sweep' (episode 8.10) is a noticeable example.

* ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'': ''Saber'' is primarily a show about its various heroes navigating TheConspiracy while [[YouAreNotAlone learning to communicate and rely on one another to protect people as a cohesive unit]]. Storytelling is a RecurringElement throughout the show but is heavily-downplayed as device; contributing more to the gimmick rather than being a major plot-point on its own merit. The show's finale reverses this to be a commentary on how [[TropesAreTools originality is relative as long as it's impacting the reader]], complete with an elaborate [[RealLifeWritesThePlot spectacle of real-world people talking about their favorite stories]] via various ImagineSpot[=s=] to fuel [[spoiler: a WorldHealingWave]]. While the message that "[[TropesAreTools originality is not the be-all-end-all of a story's worth]]" [[DontShootTheMessage isn't inherently a bad one]], it's completely seperate from what the show's been - [[spoiler: Storious' motive to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the world because his stuff being recorded in the Book Of All means nothing produced can be original]]]] and [[AWorldHalfFull Touma deciding none of that matters as long as a story works]] is so disconnected from the primary themes of ''Saber'' that it feels less like the epilogue to a show about bonds and more like a side-special that diverts from its source-material to [[TakeThat rant at fans that take issue with cliches from its own personal echo chamber]].
