First of all, let’s talk about the shortcomings: I know that American dramas love to follow the common people’s route and tell stories of the general public, but the protagonist The weakening of elite temperament is really not suitable for serious crime dramas with high IQ.
There is no aura from Holmes to Watson to the Inspector, the suspenseful atmosphere that the reasoning element should show is gone, and Holmes's deductive method that should have insight into the forefront does not produce sparks. In the last part of the first episode of the rain questioning the murderer, the perverted aura of the murderer glasses uncle overwhelmed the detective, but the detective would only be angry with Huasheng (True TM scum~glass heart...), only the actor can be seen I want to get nervous, but I haven't grasped the rhythm at all.
There is no tension in the plot and performance. How can you catch your eyeballs? In addition, the audience has recently been lowered by the BBC version's extremely tension to 2B interpretation. It is really anxious for the interpretation of the French crew. ╮(╯_╰)╭ …
Pros: So can this drama only be followed with the "Watson" blog? Of course not, the entanglement of the total and the BBC version will really greatly reduce the fun of watching the drama. Fortunately, there are more than three episodes of the American TV series in a season. Although the first episode is not very popular at the beginning, it is just a good preheating temperature. After seeing the first episode, I can get used to this rhythm at the end. There is no BUG in the crime plot, and there is no 2B setting to show off the screenwriter's IQ, but the later plot requires the screenwriter to exert effort.
Apart from the plot of the case, the biggest attraction of this drama is Watson, and I personally think that Liu Yuling's performance is basically qualified, so I am cute. The character of Watson in the original book is slightly weaker. It is not so much an assistant as a recorder and voiceover. The several successful interpretations of the actors I know have strengthened Watson's character and endowed the actor with his own characteristics: Edward Ha Dulwick highlights loyalty and simplicity; Martin Freeman’s Watson is yellow-violent, real, manly, loyal, and interesting, just like Martin himself; Liu Yuling gives a gentle, forbearing, hard feeling, strong and fragile "female" Strongman "will attract female audiences, and the fit with Miller is really "playful".
Liu Yuling's version of Watson, when the detective was irritable, said "this is nothing to do with you" and dismissed him. The opera detective's innocent little eyes confessed and can easily exchange for a smile of understanding to accompany her sister... This is not "When Sherlock Holmes meets Watson" Well, this is clearly "Gentle escort for Yu Jie and her pet Husky puppy" (Don't you think Jonny Lee Miller's big forehead looks like a Husky puppy).
This kind of relationship between the owner and the pet lacks the ambiguity of basic love, but has the warmth and confrontation of suspected love. The relationship between men and women only cares about whether the relationship is enough, and the relationship between men and women makes people pay more attention to the subtlety of the emotion itself, which is also the biggest motivation for me to follow the drama.
