The storyline by the end of this season was horribly farfetched, but this made for an entertaining yet slightly ridiculous final season. The writers must have hit a wall following this, as the ludicrous third season sees a number of the escapees committed to Sona prison where the protagonist, Michael Scofield, is tasked with breaking out a prisoner. Where in the first season the prison break in planned and executed, the second season is then largely focused on the escapees on the run. It is important to note, however, that the first season is excellent and the second season is also highly entertaining. Prison Break is a show that gets a lot of stick, and this is largely due to the somewhat ridiculous premise. The Man in Black as the monster was the first major plot twist of the sixth season, and marked the beginning of an overly complicated final season which failed to deliver a neat and satisfactory conclusion. The monster was originally supposed to represent the id, but this was changed after season one to it being a security system that protects the island. It is revealed that the Smoke Monster is actually a middle-aged man dressed in black, and in season six he primarily appears as John Locke. Eko was killed by the Smoke Monster/The Man in Black. Perhaps the most notable shark jump and the point when the show officially lost it (pun intended) was when Mr. There are a few different moments which indicated that Lost was in decline and not going to offer a satisfying conclusion, and the dizzying and distracting plot twists proved to be unnecessary and frustrating for viewers. Friends remains one of the greatest and most well-written sitcoms, but like all shows it had an inevitable decline which began at this moment. This created a strange dynamic which many viewers felt uneasy with, but thankfully the writers managed to steer away from it and finish the show with a satisfying conclusion. The bizarre storyline of Rachel and Joey starting up a romantic relationship was a curveball that felt so wrong, given that the Ross and Rachel relationship was perhaps the most important plot line on the show. When major characters have a baby it will always shake things up, but it was not necessarily Emma that changed things for the worse.

Whilst they fortunately managed to tie Friends up nicely with a satisfying conclusion, the show certainly had a wobble towards the end which all started with the arrival of Ross and RachelвЂ™s baby. We will get to where the term first originated, but essentially it is used to pinpoint the precise moment where a television show has reached its creative peak, marking the beginning of the end. This will see them вЂњjump the shark,вЂќ where they resort to outlandish storylines, gimmick episodes, the arrival of terrible new characters or many other tactics to try and draw viewers. Sometimes, however, the writers will hit a wall but are still tasked with creating further episodes.

There is no doubt that it takes an incredible amount of skill, passion and vision to write a television show.
