A Beautiful Mind Episode 1

Contradictory Much?

The show clearly stresses the female lead’s knowledge of the law (more than once), yet failed to follow through on the fact that a POLICE OFFICER witnessed an INTENTIONAL HIT AND RUN (which therefore constitutes attempted murder), during which her vehicle was damaged (i.e. leaving the scene of ANOTHER accident, saying there wasn’t enough to move forward with an investigation?? Furthermore, this chick who’s such a stickler for following the police handbook to a T, not only proceeds to contaminate the evidence by picking up the keychain at the scene, but also after noting there wasn’t any CCTV in the area, didn’t attempt to take photos of the scene?? Seriously?! Let’s ignore the fact that she didn’t try to take a photo of the vehicle fleeing the scene (let’s go with she froze up), but even for a fender bender the parties take photos, never mind the POLICE who take more if they’re called to the scene of an accident. Let’s not focus on the man dying on the ground (yeah let’s be narcissistic for a minute) and point out AGAIN the significant damage to her vehicle... I mean, pictures? Anyone? And why in hell did she keep referring to it as a murder not attempted murder? I hope that was simply poor translation. AND! As a police officer, why didn’t she make sure the scene was secure and CSI or at least another officer was on site before leaving? Let’s not even begin to dig in to the medical side of things (like a joint surgery of that kind and under those conditions is just something you decide to do and simply dive right on into, for starters). I have sooo many issues with the writing in this episode! If the show wasn’t presenting itself as one where the doctors and police were clearly supposed to be on the upper end of the spectrum for being well- versed in their respective fields, I’d be more inclined to let this stuff go. But that’s not the case. The writers should have done their homework.I get the goal of the writers and even like where they’re attempting to with this but I’m extremely disappointed with the execution and all its sloppiness.

OMG! I just watched more. How dumb is this chick? Why in hell didn’t she stop to think that a deaf kid wouldn’t have made that phone call to the morgue?! Killing me! And why in hell would the medical examiner not have been given that information.
