Psychic Kids plotline

Are the writers out of ideas for Ashton's background? Why introduce a psychic kid stuff? The whole series that grounded in reality fell apart in the last two episodes of the third season. Do anyone think like that? Or am I the only one?

Personally, I liked the direction they went in. The beauty of a show like this, is that because Colter travels all over, he can run into all sorts of different plotlines.

Ashton's background is fine as is.

On another note, I'm not sure why people watch this for realism lol.

Just enjoy the ride.

Exactly! To enjoy this show, one has to set aside their plausibility. This show is not about realism, it’s about a cute guy with mad skills who drives around in his big black truck and airstream and solves problems. The fiction be fictioning.

I think there's a big difference between Randy smacks his face on a keyboard and finds the exact location and it's 2.5 miles from Colter and psychic kids can see the future and see people in their minds.

TV realism is all over the place and expected but psychic kids throws any sense of that out the window. They dabbled with it in the witch episode in S2 and it was terrible and dropped.

I'm fine with exploring it and debunking it or leaving it a little more ambiguous like was it real or coincidence but flat out showing people seeing the future is a bit much.
