So it has a name...

I'm sick and tired of flashback overuse in recent series, mostly to explain the feeeeelings of the characters and so justify their stupid behaviour.

But this must be the ultimate abuse: most of the story is a flashback. Ouch!

To be even more overused, make sure the flashbacks describe a trauma plot[1].
