I’m like this if a movie’s plot can only happen because of bad communication.

    I was able to tolerate more of this in movies than I used to after acknowledging that tons of people in real life suck at communication.

    Like its honestly one of more believable situations. Look at Home Alone, those parents saw Kevin not once yet decided to leave the driveway. They got on a bloody plane without him

    I think a lot of sitcoms rely on it because it's a way to create conflict without needing to create a bad guy.

    Malcolm in the Middle is an example of a show that didn't rely on miscommunication for every plot and I realized during my first streaming watch through that there isn't a single recurring character on the show that I'd consider a decent person.

    Yeah, I'm watching the show Below right now, and they're faking into the "we can't advance the plot without a failure to properly communicate" rhythm, as expected with Netflix, and so much modern TV in general.
