Why do many TV dramas have women covered with tape and then wear masks? Two layers of insurance, won't you scream?

This situation is usually because the plot needs to show scenes where the characters can't speak or don't want to be recognized, and tape and masks can play this role.

Sealing your mouth with tape and wearing a mask can provide extra protection to ensure that the character can't make a sound or be recognized. This kind of scene often appears in crime or spy TV series, because the characters in these scenes need to keep silent to avoid revealing their identities.

In addition, this kind of scene can also show the rebellious spirit of the role or the pressure and dilemma of the role. So although this scene looks violent or uncomfortable, it is a way of expressing the plot.
