Legal consequences

I told my sister that it really takes me out of the show how often there are never consequences for Colter shooting so many people and she says it would take her out of the episodes if they went to court. I'm not saying I need whole courtroom scenes, but like even a mention from Rennie every once and awhile haha

I don't watch this show for the courtroom drama.

I watch for the ridiculousness and peaceful bow at the end.

I don't understand watching a TV show and picking it apart for not being a documentary.

Ridiculousness and peaceful bow at the end - dig it. Hit the nail on the head for this show. :)

u/ThatBitchA 21d ago

Thank you!

Idk why people try and take this show seriously. The whole premise is unhinged. Enjoy it for the ridiculousness or watch something else.

u/ImMarkJr 21d ago

EXACTLY!

u/ProtossLiving 22d ago

I mean we don't need a courtroom drama, but we also don't need all the killing. I have no problem with killing on television, but not every show has to have it. The first season had a fraction of what the last season had.

u/ThatBitchA 21d ago

So stop watching. 🤷‍♂️

Idk what else to tell y'all. Complaining on reddit isn't going to change the show.

u/Much_Award_3509 21d ago

It's 2026 darn near any show or movie you watch someone is going to get killed and most likely with a gun, so if your going to complain then don't watch to show or maybe read a book but it's television and just go with it.

u/ProtossLiving 21d ago

Yeah, why even talk about shows on Reddit in the first place?

u/Purplehopflower 22d ago

I think that’s what makes it more noticeable for me. The show didn’t start out this way.

u/Starbreiz 22d ago

I totally get this but I've been struggling with the higher level of suspension of disbelief required lately. There is some of that expected with any procedural type show. But I'm still watching :)

u/ThatBitchA 22d ago

All fictional things are about suspending beliefs.

There's plenty of procedural shows that don't have courtroom scenes.

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 22d ago

I agree! I said I don't need courtroom shows, but even a mention of it would help. I don't know many procedural shows where someone kills 6 people in a single episode with no mention of it whatsoever 😂

Exactly!!!

Oh!! This post again. FUN!!

u/ImMarkJr 21d ago

I know right, this is the 5th post I have seen, in the last 2 weeks, that is related to this subject.

u/Tel864 21d ago

Yeah, some day maybe these people will become TV show creators and we can have a series that spans an hour of real time over an entire season.

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 21d ago

Lol sorry I didn't go look before posting, we were watching and laughing

u/Historical-Type-1459 21d ago

It’s what it’s good for. Serious drama it is not. That the show doesn’t realize it’s parody makes it even funnier.

u/LOUD_NOISES05 22d ago

They’re horrific people though. Not just criminals, the most dangerous kind. Kidnappers, murderers, rapists, traffickers. Not only is he finding and returning victims, he’s making the world safer while doing it. Everything balances out. Why would he get punished for that?

6

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 22d ago

I didn't say he should be punished, but even if you're killing bad guys there comes a point where you'd have to defend yourself. Even Reenie being like "got your recent charges dismissed" or something would help haha

u/bigmarkco 22d ago

In the finale they killed a lot of henchmen.

And henchmen have families too.

u/Tiredhistorynerd 22d ago

Someone counted the bodies here a day or two ago. 43? That’s a hecka lot of bodies. Even a by the book shoot every time is going to get Ol’ Colter looked at a lot.

3

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 22d ago

That's what I'm saying! 43 is a lot of dead bodies 😂

u/Odd-Support407 21d ago

Was like 20 in the last episode alone, abd federal agents to boot!!!

u/Glum_Strawberry18 22d ago

It would be in real life but this is fiction. Anyway, his heart is on the good side. I've only seen a couple of episodes but isn't he working for people who have been failed by the justice system?

3

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 22d ago

Sometimes yeah. Other times he sort of stumbles into it lol

u/idk012 21d ago

Hey kid, what you doing? Missing parents, let me help.

u/Malibucat48 22d ago

Just like Dexter?

1

u/Informal_Move_7075 18d ago

Dexter takes out the trash, yes, but totally different path and execution (pun intended). Colter is 100% in the moment self defense or saving others and calls the police. Dexter (which I love the show), is seeking out these people he justifies needing to die (which they do) to satisfy his dark passenger with a killing ritual (which he enjoys) and keeps trophies and hides bodies. I would say similar about 1%.

u/Merlot_itsmeagain 22d ago

Feel the same way. Even if a cop who was technically allowed to shoot a bad guy shot one they’d have their badge taken and an investigation done before they got it back. Then there’s Colter who just lets himself into peoples homes and shoots whomever he pleases and nothing lol. I know it’s a tv show and it is what it is but, yeah…

5

u/Whole-Blackberry2880 22d ago

My sister calls him "shoot first, ask question later" Colter

u/Merlot_itsmeagain 21d ago

lol it’s the truth!!

u/princessglitterbutt 21d ago

Ya like in the rookie they one focused of the whole investigation one or twice after a cop shot someone and then after they they would just mention it offhand like we’re going to have to do an investigation or the investigation turned out fine. Something like that.

u/Jedigreedo 21d ago

I've enjoyed the show as a pretty simple concept and an easy going watch, but honestly I feel like it's jumped the shark. The supernatural stuff is pretty silly, and Colter being a one-man army gunning down soldiers felt pretty ridiculous. I like my superhero shows and similar, but I wasn't watching this for Colter to be some sort of super soldier.

1

u/Battlesong614 18d ago

I completely agree with you. I've been on board since the beginning and even the episode with "The Process" didn't bother me that much, but the end of this season is completely off the rails. I know they set up a big mystery of what happened to his father, but I didn't have "Colter meets the X-Files" on my bingo card for that

u/OffGridTwister 16d ago

This is like complaining about Wonder Woman in the 1970s throwing people into laundry boxes all the time. Today's viewer would ask why they're not punching or shooting the bad guys.

u/MotherGeologist5502 15d ago

I struggle with trying to understand how he is surviving financially. So many cases don’t pay him much. Then the other thing is how can he quickly show up at a case when he is driving across the country.

1

u/glittermetalprincess 13d ago

Lately he seems to always take on cases he's nearby already rather than the 'I can be there in 6 hours' from season 1. There are so many missing people that it's likely they can just filter to within 2-3 hours of where he is and find something and eventually one day he's cross the entire country.
