For example, I thought "Dungeon" was based on the main line of "The Resurrection of the Regal Detective Sherlock Holmes to investigate the cause of his own death", telling the story of Sherlock Holmes and the hotel AI assistant Watson searching for the truth. ), eliciting its own history and cause of death. A combination of cyberpunk and tough guy detective novel, the main feature is CP: sexy and cold Nordic handsome man Wu Kovac × Edgar Allan Poe humanoid AI. As a result, "Dungeon" used five episodes to talk about the world view and setting, and the last five episodes deviate from the fighting scene and the crazy sister line.
Briefly summarize these sub-lines, the Space Warrior line (the protagonist's history), the police station line (the encounter with the heroine), the black father line, and the younger sister's childhood line. The female lawyer, several police officers in the police station who are familiar with the heroine, the daughter of the black father, the younger sister, and the younger sister's capable killer Liang, all portrayed very superficially. When the audience became interested in these characters and wanted to know their origins, the writers inserted boring fight scenes. The black father line was supposed to serve as the first case, giving clues to the next. The screenwriter let him run through, be a dispensable partner, and staged a vulgar and far-fetched group battle at the end of the story. Sherlock Holmes could have several relationships, but he didn't need two Watsons.
Also, I understand that the screenwriter wants to use bed scenes and action scenes to show the male lead's sexiness, but what about the male lead's melancholy? ? ? What about depth? ? ? If the first five episodes are worth four stars, the last five are only worth two stars. Too many characters are sloppily distributed without unfolding, and the theme of the show has become blurred. It's no longer cyberpunk, no detective elements, and it's confusing and unintelligible. (Hopefully revive Poe next season thanks.
The texture that "Copy" should have: a tough-guy detective novel in a cyberpunk coat, with cigarettes, wine, crows, poetry, and flesh. Explore the shell and the soul, the gap between the rich and the poor, and what is a human being. The texture presented by "Copy": a male-frequent stallion in the cloak of cyberpunk + tough guy detective novels, all women can't help but go to bed with him, his sister is paranoid and addicted to him, and he fights endlessly play. A hodgepodge of rough and poor, many scenes make you feel deja vu.
The theme and scale of this drama are all closer to HBO, and Netflix's daring to do cyberpunk themes is still worthy of appreciation. After all, "Blade Runner" and "Ghost in the Shell" box office hit the street, and the theme of cyberpunk is hard to come up with, it will always be a rainy night, and it will always be a neon sign.
Supplement: When consciousness is transformed into data and can be stored and transmitted, the body is no longer important, and people have eliminated discrimination against gender, race, and age, but the gap between the rich and the poor will never be eliminated. After the death of the Asian male protagonist, he changed his body and became a Caucasian, and the movie version next door smiled knowingly.
