Pepper Spray Realism Questioned in Apple TV's "Friends and Neighbors"

In a recent short video posted online, a viewer reacted to a scene in the Apple TV show "Friends and Neighbors." The scene depicts the main character, played by Jon Hamm, being sprayed with pepper spray and continuing on as if nothing happened. This prompted the viewer, who identified herself as having been pepper-sprayed previously, to comment on the scene's lack of realism. "As someone who has been sprayed with pepper spray," she stated, "that does not happen. It's not like that." The video has gained some traction online, highlighting the ongoing discussion about the accuracy of violent scenes in television and film. The contrast between the fictional portrayal and the real-life experience underscores the importance of realistic depictions of violence for viewers.
