• The mentalist
• Castle

etc.

All the criminals have to do is go, I don’t talk to cops or I want my lawyer and all these shows would fall apart. Every episode the criminal is an idiot who admits they did it almost every time.

In the real world:

Then add in the lack of punishment by judges. The murders would all be unsolved or the person would get off with little to no jail time. haha.

It’s all so fake.

It’s designed to have you sitting at home, watching TV, imagining that crime is actually punished.
