Too much smoking!


Hardly 3 minutes go by without someone lighting up, good grief Charlie Brown, enough already.
The producers must have been paid big bucks from tobacco co.s for approx. a 40 plus hour ad for chain smoking. There was absolutely no plot requirement for any of the characters to smoke so heavily, it could have been done without any of it. Especially Mirielle, shame for showing young girls such a bad habit, they look to stars as their example.

Oh shut the hell up. It's a TV show. You didn't have a problem with a teen being murdered and raped but you did with smoking. Quit being such a whinny little girl.

Oh good grief. It's to give physicality to the stress. Most grasp that.

I have to assume this show, an investigation revolving around the murder of a teen girl, wasn't aimed for a "young girl" audience. This is an adult show, about adult characters, dealing with adult issues. I doubt too many young impressionable girls were watching this show. Not exactly the target audience.

Newsflash- Adult's smoke. Especially when stressed. Solving the murder of a teenage girl while dealing with a lot of personal issues with your own teenage son is likely to be stressful. If she want's to smoke up to relieve some of that stress, what's it to you?

Stop bitching. Nobody cares. And this is coming from a non smoker. Pointless thread.

I agree with the OP. I too noticed that pretty much every one smokes, and wondered why they did that. I guess it's the blue collar thing, instead of stress as others have mentioned. (People were smokers before stressful situations occurred.)

Holder's smoking on top of looking like he always needed a shower, eating only junk food, wearing the same clothes each day...add it all up and mannn, he must stink.

I agree there's just too much smoking in this series that sometimes it can get a little distracting, it's a little annoying.

Me too
I look forward to the day when smoking is as frowned upon in movies as it is in public, everyday life
