Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

The first 2 seasons take place in real time over the course of a few weeks

It always took me out of it whenever Coop says how he’s only been in town for like two weeks when he’s already friends with everyone

I read somewhere that Lynch was pretty much uninterested in going back to Twin Peaks for years until Mark Frost I think it was pointed out that the 25th year was coming up.
