When a person allows their decisions to be dominated by someone who is clearly unfit for the role, rather than being responsible and taking control of the situation.
When parents let their children make the rules, instead of the other way around, is a prime example of the tail wagging the dog.

The politician was caught Tail Wagging.
A tail-wagger is someone that follows a crowd or a movement without truly questioning the validity or purpose for it. TailTail-waggers often copy hashtags or wear pink kitten hats. They see others in the crowd doing something, so they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Kind of like when you want a dog to do a trick or behave a certain way, you reward it with a pat on the back and a treat and it wags its tail, because it's excited to have the approval of the boss.

However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
