That’s a shame, it’s a fun show. I mean, using math to fight crime and solve mysteries is a great concept, and the whole point of Charlie using ridiculous metaphors and analogies is to try and make the concepts accessible to his FBI brother and colleagues (and by proxy the audience). Who cares if they are a stretch or not accurate? It’s math on prime time TV, how else do you get it there?
- mistrial9 4y agowait - you just gave a "who cares, relax" green light to a theory of incrimination, in the burgeoning age of surveillance, and specifically so "my male family member who is legally paid to incriminate" can understand the concept? in the same breath as saying it cant be real ? Do you get why this is really, really a bad idea?
- ModernMech 4y agoIt's a tv show. The criminals and cops aren't real. The episode in question they were just trying to narrow a search space. Anyway, I don't think the real FBI is using TV mathemagic to solve crimes, so I think it's okay to have fun watching a TV show.
