Ever want to write a crime drama, and get the crazy idea to have your people go undercover to pretend to be part of the gang? They have to get the gang's trust, show them how tough they are, be really really tough, oh...and act tough.
Yeah, I'm sure you could come up with that. Why? Because you've already seen it a thousand times before, from cop shows dating back to the 70s. So why do it all over again? Simple, you run out of ideas.
I absolutely HATE when writers use tired, cliched old hackneyed bits and pretend it's an original idea. Sure, send your people undercover. They get accepted into the gang, they go out with them on the big heist, they are part of it, they get carried away, something goes wrong, it all goes awry, but in the end we see how tough and good our characters are. Puh...lease... Episodes like this are better watched with fast-forward.
