The Fall: Multi-player, multi-controlers, only one screen, no split...

I was okay with the fact that they were shooting a second into the game, but when they got to the scene where there are 3 people playing one game on one console, with one screen, and they were all looking at the screen and moving their controllers and commenting on their play, yet there was only one game happening on screen! And then they did it again when Chunk showed him "a move" and somehow they were both playing with only one point of view of the game... What were they thinking? I'm kind of disappointed because I like the show, but it seems to me that every time there is something related to e-sports on TV outside of e-sports itself, they get something big wrong.
At least they got some good messages across, and they didn't go full stereotypical on us with the actors.

Maybe Cable hacked it so it could be played that way.

This is a serious answer/reply. It's CBS. Most writers at CBS dramas do not understand how computers and the internet work. I'm pretty sure that applies to video/computer games as well.
