I feel you're completely missing the artistry of the cinematography in pursuit of some realistic/based "grounded" plot. It's a show. It's going to jump some sharks. Crowds enjoy jumping over sharks. I'm sure they had a great idea of the destination they wanted to arrive at, but they're taking the scenic route (because it's a show) instead of the direct path and I honestly wouldn't love it the same had they not.
I feel like you're making excuses for bad writing because you like the show.
I too enjoy it, I've just been burned by this pattern before. It's easy to write mysterybox openings, and it's easy to prolong them by continuing to throw twists out every time theres been a lull, it's hard to conclude them in a satisfying and sensible way.
