Why does everyone feel the need to keep saying...


Things like "that's not how it would happen" or "that's not realistic" or other things like that? Why can't you just sit on your couch and watch the show and enjoy it as a piece of fictitious entertainment. It doesn't have to be technically correct to be good.

The show is set in the real world. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, but it does need to be believable and realistic.

Welcome to the internet, everyone knows everything, and no one likes anything

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone one on here thinks they are experts in every aspects of making movies and television shows. It's sickening.

Agree.

I need to find a new message board if it keeps going like this.

I understand some of the critiques but others I'm over here like ehhh must be nice to not know the truth about things. Must be nice to not have it be a part of their reality.

I so agree!! I really enjoyed the first two episodes and was surprised at the negative comments about realism. So I'm not supposed to watch Batman for sheer entertainment? It's TV!!!

I think this show is making some think about certain things about how our government works. That's not a bad thing.
