It put me off until I read that interview that Dion posted. Add that to the brief reference to the situation in the finale, and I'm converting to accepting in this universe Hawley and the Coens are creating.

I am re-watching the first season right now (partly because I'm trying to get my roommate hooked on the show, and partly because I just want to), and there are so many instances of randomness and convenience that it plays into the general theme and narrative structure.

The "impossible" becomes relevant to the story and "true" crime element.
