For once, I'd really like to see writing without cliches....

My, how many times are we going to see the haunted cop by past events; or, the troubled character that remains silent about important hidden things; or the massive images/documents layout like a visual whiteboard.

Or, the partially clothed sex scenes (if an actor doesn't want to do authentic nude, just write around it and skip the convenient covering sheets or clothed intercourse).

Or the troubled teen child making life difficult for the parent.

Come on, people, get some originality and creativity going on.

Boring writers. They might consider taking hallucinogens and write something new.

>Or, the partially clothed sex scenes

I agree, but I extend it to cover all sex scenes. I don't have a problem with sex, I just don't need to watch other people doing it. It's weird, and should be.

I won't apologize for enjoying watching Woody Harrelson eating Alexandra Daddario's ass, though.

Yeah I don’t like them
Giving us another haunted or troubled cop .. halfway through episode 1 of season 4 had me going “oh damn they are doing this again?!” wtf

There was another partially-nude love scene for you in S4E2.
Jodie Foster was doing the sex in a bra thing and Christopher Eccleston bared his ass.

Wait.. you mean women don't keep their bras on during sex like we see in 99% of all TV shows and movies??? And here I thought I had always just dated the 1% who took them off. 🤣

Yeah, the miserable, surly teenage girl thing has been done to death, and done to death again. A well-adjusted, mature, friendly teenage girl would be a welcome novelty.

And women having sex with their bras on the whole time, as if heterosexual men have no interest in boobs. Yeah, sure.
