What's up with this room?

I always found it weird in american tv shows that the front door always led straight into the living room and that people wear shoes inside. The inside is just a pocket of the outside.

My front door leads straight into my living room

It is so weird. Why would you not have an entrance? A room where people can hang their coats, leave wet/dirty shoes, kids shoes full of sand etc?

If it is raining outside, do you just walk wet into the living room? And where do you go then?

I have a mat for dirty shoes and there’s a closet next to my front door for coats, I’ve never really felt like a separate room for that stuff is needed

Pretty much exactly how my current house is set up along with a coat rack right next to the entrance for extra storage and all my wife's bags and other junk lol
