(Tina Turner)
What was once a car chase is now scenes with the daughter.
On 24 - a few seasons ago - the action would come to a screeching halt (although the screeching might have been provided by the viewers) as the daughter would waste time in her subplot. Maybe you need relief from the high tension? I say BRING IT ON. Cut the lamp cord - make threatening sparks in the face of the terrorist. MAKE HIM GIVE the piece of info so crucial to the plot!
Now this season's Thief has the same drama-stopping device. Dad/thief mastermind has this kid to deal with after the loss of his wife.
Is this to bring in lower demos? Show him as human? OR JUST WASTE TIME? It's called Thief, not My Dad, the Thief.
Back in the days of Mannix, there'd be car chases. Now it's goo.
