That’s where it started and I think the life blood of any show like ours is surprise.
And if you do that enough times, the audience stops respecting the danger of the situation.
You have to surprise even within scenes what the audience is expecting and then really pull the rug out from under them.
I think the reason was born out of the idea that we do epic cliffhangers and then a lot of times, miraculously, get out of whatever dangerous situation we’re in.
