->Coincidence can be, if used sparingly, an acceptable writing tool. If a character suddenly runs into an ex lover, years after last having any contact, and right after breaking up with someone, that can be acceptable coincidence. If it's subtle, realistic in the context of things that just happen in real life, and used ''very conservatively'', coincidence can be a fair plot device to get things in your story moving.\\\
If you're using it 4 seconds into an episode and then you don't really stop until the end credits roll, then you probably shouldn't be getting paid to write for a living. No literary agency in the world is going to represent you, Creator/DanBrown is probably snickering at you, and I know I will dread seeing your names on any future episodes.\\\
Yes, I'm talking to you, Andrew Landis and Julia Swift. I know you blackmailed your way into this gig, and I will find a way to expose you.

The feelings of Sophia were at that time so exquisite, and the tenderness she felt for Augustus so poignant that I had not power to start any other topic, justly fearing that it might in some unforseen manner again awaken all her sensibility by directing her thoughts to her Husband. Yet to be silent would be cruel; she had intreated me to talk.\\
\\
From this Dilemma I was most fortunately releived by an accident truly apropos; it was the lucky overturning of a Gentleman's Phaeton, on the road which ran murmuring behind us. It was a most fortunate accident as it diverted the attention of Sophia from the melancholy reflections which she had been before indulging. ''
