Hold your questions until the end. I know they squirm which makes it difficult.
Sometimes I will read or watch a mystery series. I usually just sit back and enjoy the show. I can never really tell who the culprit is. They often throw in characters just to make you wonder if that is the villain. Then in the last bit of the show the main characters resolve the situation or find out who committed the crime. That is the beauty of editing. You can condense a lot of work into a brief amount of time.
It seems these shows always have the same themes.
The main character gets some realization by talking to a friend or family member. Take "House" for example. I wonder consider that a medical mystery show at least. He talks to Wilson and figures out the missing connection. I guess the lesson there is if you cannot be great, have great friends. Inspiration is one of those moments. You are stuck on something and all of sudden you have your answer.
Another scene one always sees in the legal dramas is the breakdown. The culprit has gone all show without any remorse or emotion. Then in the last five minutes of the show the trail is getting warm. The investigator makes one statement then the accused breaks down. Usually it is an angry diatribe how the person was jealous or felt cheated. It always ends in "I didn't mean to kill him!"
I am glad that the shows wrap up after an hour. That way you get to see a new guest star next week.
