10 Recent TV Moments That Made No Sense
10. Carmy Gets Locked In The Fridge - The Bear
The Bear's generally phenomenal second season concludes with an episode where Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) gets locked inside his restaurant's walk-in fridge when the handle breaks off.
It's a pay-off to the fact that Carmy has been meaning to get the handle fixed for a good while, yet being preoccupied with the restaurant's opening, he simply forgot to do it.
Except, as many, many viewers pointed out following the episode's airing, every walk-in fridge installed at a restaurant will have a safety latch on the inside, allowing anyone potentially trapped inside to easily free themselves in the event of catastrophe.
Yet, for dramatic reasons, this is curiously ignored in the episode, which concludes with the staff bringing in power tools to effectively saw the door open.
While the final moments of the episode show sparks flying inside the fridge as Carmy waits to be freed, this itself doesn't make much sense either - all a handyman would need to do is remove the screws on the door's hinges in order to get him out.
Granted, The Bear is a brilliant enough show - and categorically not a documentary - that it's easy to ignore most instances of dramatic license, though this one did feel more contrived than most.
