I guess more than the show, analyzing it is better, but on a serious note, sometimes in real life people do really behave in a dumb way, I mean out of fear, out of not being able to face a situation immediatly they just buy time and maybe make decisions or take actions that lands them in more troubles and they know it very well but they are just not prepared to face things immediately and they think everything can be good in the future but the truth is the best way to solve a problem is to face it before it gets out of hands, better face circumstances in the present than face much more problems in the future!!
