In my time at acting school, I started watching cop shows. The thrill of it got to me, and I soon realized that I was rooting for the bad guy. I wanted the system to fail: wanted the cop to run out of leads, wanted the killer to go free. Every time, tv magic would come through. There would be some breakthrough that the cop was clever or lucky enough to figure out, and the guy would be caught.
In the real world, there is no tv magic. The system fails. The cop runs out of leads. I go free.
