No one even thought twice about Lucy going undercover to get closer to Frank Tesca in "Going Under," and fans are confused about the obvious plot hole. After showcasing the true crime documentary episodes so prominently, would the LAPD really allow her or Tim to go undercover again? To make matters worse, one of the documentaries even focused on her undercover work. "[Chen's] UC [undercover] storyline and her always being in [the] media just doesn't make sense," u/BurnerAccount66999 wrote in a subreddit. "But the writers continue to skip over it for some reason. Guess it's something we just gotta ignore."
Many viewers agreed that it doesn't make sense, but that it's only a TV show, so they should be forgiven for holes and inconsistencies. "Just roll with it," wrote u/Lakinther. "The show is not exactly a pinnacle of realism and it will get worse. Personally, her UC [undercover] storyline was my favorite of that entire season." The show may continuously ask fans to suspend belief, but most are willing to go along with it. "The realism diminishes with each season, but it's still fun in other ways. Accept it and keep watching," wrote u/thepittstop.
