> The reader must have equal opportunity with the detective for solving the mystery. All clues must be plainly stated and described.

Many TV shows fail on this point trying to surprise the viewer with an unexpected result which ironically becomes so common that ends up being predictable from the first few minutes of the show.

Edit: they also fail in number 2 and 5.

That is primary reason why I don't like watching Dr Who. My kids love it but most episodes are magically resolved at end for my liking.
