Way Too Predictable


There was not one episode that i did not work out the solution within the first 20 minutes.

The show itself coulda been good if they didnt try so hard to hint at the answers to the mysteries they are gonna reveal at the end of the episode.

I swear this show is for kids or just dumb people.

There are so many obvious possibilities that they just pretend arent possible until its smacking them in the face.

I think that's a problem with episodic crime dramas in general. The first problem is good mysteries are hard to write and second there's only 44 minutes to tell each one. They end up falling back on a relatively small set of formulas that everyone knows.

I agree. Since I really started paying close attention to reruns of the paint-by-numbers , 'Murder She Wrote' I can now guess who the killer on most of the more detailed crime dramas after a few scenes. NCIS,Numb3rs,Law & Order:CI,Bones etc. Sometimes I can also figure out why they did it.

You have the right to remain silent because whatever you say will probably be stupid anyway!
