I saw this show because I happened to be listening to Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine that day.
The comments are all talking about POI's soundtrack, I'm wondering what kind of drama can use PF's music so well. So I started watching this show.
I have finished watching the first season in the past two days. The plot is still the same as that of American dramas. It is procrastinated. The narrative of American dramas is always slow. The 23 episodes of a season will tell you the main line. American dramas are old-fashioned.
However, POI's worldview is in an era when all people are being monitored. At that time, there was no Prism Gate incident, and there were not so many CCTVs on the streets, let alone Skynet. To this day, society has actually developed into what is written in the play, which is quite immersive. If this factor is removed, the play is more like a Batman + Superman + Iron Man + Terminator. The protagonist takes it out and it is a "Super Soldier King in the City". But this is also a shortcoming in my opinion. The protagonist is so strong, a former CIA agent, he has been on the battlefield, deep in the enemy's back, working underground, such a powerful person, it is just a small fight when it comes to fighting, it is difficult for you to be an agent You can hit the killer, it’s hard, you can; you play the armed squad, it’s hard. But it's so hard to be a goddamn gangster, and you can play an elite team with ease. Did the screenwriter get something wrong? Is the underworld of the US imperialists so strong? And implying that the local combat force is not good? The meaning of the protagonist's existence may be handsome. It's useless other than this. This may also be one of the strengths of the show. The protagonist is handsome, the heroine is beautiful, and the supporting actress is also beautiful.
But I'm really dizzy about these supporting actors. Where did the director find so many people with the same length to be supporting roles? I can't tell them apart at all. It's really hard to direct.
