<div dir="ltr"><div>What this article fails to mention is that TV programs / series/ etc are becoming more and more ridiculous. People are smarter than the writers of the programs think and easily get annoyed. I mean, of course it makes sense that you knock down a bad guy with a gun and then turn your back to him and start a conversation with someone else. How could he possibly get up and finish you off??
