I’m getting good enough at spotting very precise tropes now so I spoil tv shows for myself. 😖

The one that inspired this tweet: a passenger left alone in a car while driver goes into a store will discover a secret in the glove compartment. It’s not really a trope but a shot clue: if they show the left behind person rather than follow the other character there’s a reason.

An annoying one: in a detective show, a recognizable character actor showing up in an early scene in a minor role with unnecessary lines is probably the murderer. You don’t need to know the plot to guess that they wouldn’t use a speaking role established actor as an extra.

I guess these aren’t tropes so much as subtropes. I think I’ve mentioned the second example before in some thread.

No I’ve never actually watched that one. Too old. First example is from In the Dark.
