: Life is often like watching a poorly-written movie. After character intros and a scene or three you pretty much call the story arc and what happens to which characters, and you wind up kinda bored while most other viewers are on tenterhooks about it, surprised by someone firing Chekov's gun and startled that the old cop who's all set to retire or the new recruit who's wife is pregnant got killed by the bad guy at the end of Act II.
