Most annoying TV cliches

I thought it was a good show, I'd give it a 6/10. It is still 100% copied and pasted from blockbuster films in style, dialogue, plot, and even camera movement. Just feels like a canned film made on the production line.

It's a partial homage to 80s Speilberg for sure. I'd give it a 8.5/10. Definitely leaned on the "Super 8" vibe too.

You know in shows where the dodgy firm frantically shreds all their incriminating documents? Why the frick did they print them out in the first place?

I imagine there are lots of documents that need to be printed for normal day-to-day work but wouldn't hold up to scrutiny during an in-depth investigation.

When you're hacking into a computer, you have to be able to read thousands of lines of scrolling green text in seconds. Oh, and don't forget to wear your hoodie or else you'll get spotted.
