This series never uses coincidences at all


I love how coincidences never happens just because the writers are TOTAL SHIT and they have to repeatedly fix a situation they previously cornered themselves in with their TOTALLY SHITTY WRITING.
This is not such show at all.

I am sorry to see Cranston giving this some visibility, he must have had a coincidence run-in with a bag of money.

Like What?
Is it a coincidence that a powerful mafia's son is joyriding in the ghetto?
Or that when he gets hit, there is not a single curious person around?
Or that the kid leaves his inhaler at the scene of a fatal hit and run, and not one cop or CSI finds it, yet the Bad Guy spots it in like 2 seconds?
Or that the person behind the kid in line at a gas station decides to film the kid, even though the kid wasn't really acting all that suspicious.
Or that the kid accidentally falls in love with a girl who is the sister of the guy he hit with his car?
Or that when the detective finally decides to investigate the judge, she just happens to find a witness, who can pinpoint the exact date he remembers seeing someone come to a cemetary?
Other than a few major plot points, what coincidences where there?

Just finished this. Particularly enjoyed this one, which was utterly stupid, but you could see coming a mile off...

Also the whole finale was hilarious.

The fat kid just happens to get in past Cranston being stopped at the door. He then shots, and misses, Baxter Jnr but by chance the bullet blasts Cranston Jnr - who just so happens to be in the correct line of fire - right behind Baxter Jnr! He then dies - having been shot in the neck! - gargling on his own blood, exactly like the other Baxter Jnr 😂.

Absolutely incredible this script made to screen.

yeah but when you think about it absolutely all crime/thriller/drama movies and series have this kind of ''coincidences'' , even the top quality and top rated ones.

Agreed but I think perhaps they could have slightly limited the use of them in this show.

e.g. As per the above poster's comment re the cemetery visit coinciding with that vet's anniversary, we also Kofi Jones' school exam dates just landing at the feet of Cranston's new missus.

Although I think the daftest thing was a contrivance rather than coincidence - namely the desire to get rid of his dead wife's car so quickly.

And how bout the coincidence of a judges car being stolen and then it being used in a hit and run and then that same judge presiding over a case involving everyone in his stolen car case!!!!???!??!? It’s ABSURD!
