When I watch a television show, especially dramas, I pay attention to who the guest stars are. Nine times out of ten the one guest star I recognize turns out to be the bad guy. The reason is that the bad guy is going to have to act in the climatic scene, so the casting department makes sure they have quality actors in those roles. It's a very important trick to figuring out what will happen in the end from the beginning, which is important to me.
Every story has to have a conflict/crisis and a climax where the conflict or crisis is resolved. The writers in most cases offer multiple suspects. Back in the day whoever Scooby Doo met first was, zoinks, the bad guy. Nowadays writers try to make it less obvious by having multiple people, but like the Scooby Doo days, most of them have the telltale sign of making the most recognizable actor the bad guy.
And that's how I see it.
