I for one am shocked that a television show prioritized entertainment and drama over realism in a courtroom scene. simply appalling that fiction doesn't totally recreate the exact banalities of regular life and feels the need to embellish with things like "entertainment" and "structure" because we all know Real Life doesn't follow scene and act structure. i'm even starting to get the feeling the music that's played during this show is (gasp) not in the natural environment and (weeps) is added in after the fact
seriously if you're getting upset that a court scene isn't 100% realistic what are you even doing watching tv? the entire advantage of fiction is that it *doesnt* have to adhere to the rigid rules of real life and can prioritize emotion, drama, entertainment, etc, which are all things this show does well. it's definitely lost some momentum as it's gone on, and i do wish they'd more directly answered the cliffhanger from the last episode, but it's still highly entertaining and i'll definitely watch the finale
every work of fiction bends how things work in reality, even if you don't recognize it, because nobody lives their life in the conflict-laden, hyper-condensed world of story. if you seriously can't suspend your disbelief far enough to allow for the embellishment of court room drama - which in reality is not dramatic in the slightest - then i feel really bad for you and your lack of imagination. go watch a docuseries about sand
