I know this isn’t how TV characters behave, but it is how conscious human beings relate to each other.

This is pretty much why I gave up on TV altogether a couple of years ago. Recently I tried watching Lost on DVD, but had to give it up quickly. I just kept thinking "my god, these people are all incredibly insane!" None of the characters seemed in any way "real" to me. They were always causing conflict and playing games with each other. There was no voice of reason.
I think that most TV shows are like this. I believe it's simply writing to keep those ratings up rather than being genuine to a story or a character. I think it's time for me to get into reading fiction.
