The story of the whole drama is very rich, the turning points are very rich, appropriate and reasonable, and the handling is also in place. Personally, I think there are some small problems in this play, but it may just be a hole that will be filled in the future, or I myself did not understand it. Anyway, here is a list for everyone to think about.
First, Nadia is a "jihadist" with knowledge and fanatical beliefs. As the mastermind behind the scenes, he leads a suicide attack by example. Although it is said that he will definitely be timid and withdraw when he is about to become a human bomb, but after the male protagonist. After persuading her (especially when the male protagonist used his child as the point to impress her and discouraged her, Nadia would send someone to bomb his children's school afterwards) to actually give up the well-planned attack, which is a bit strange... The way it was presented at the time looked at Nadia's first episode, which seemed more reasonable to me. The possible explanation for this problem is that she was a participant in the production of explosives, but not the mastermind. She was a little shaken in the face of death and the fact that her husband was still on the train, so the suicide attack was stopped by the male protagonist. When asked why she had her DNA on the explosives, in order to cover her companions and the mastermind, she took the initiative to plead guilty and carry the flag. If this inference holds true, then the second season could very well start with a few more bombings in and around London, and those old cases are once again unearthed.
As for why Nadia suddenly revealed her identity and conspiracy when she was interviewed for the last time, I don't think it's a problem. She was originally planned to be exposed but was given a forced criminal identity by the authorities, which allowed her to secretly direct terrorist attacks in prison and mislead the police as appropriate when questioned. When the police asked her for the last time, the style of painting changed abruptly, and she obviously had doubts about her identity. Such doubts were probably based on certain witnesses and material evidence, and it was possible that Luke was arrested. , if she thinks like this, maybe her other companions are also at risk of exposure. In this way, it is almost impossible for her to provide information for the attack, and at the same time, she does not reveal her identity in the open as a cover for her dark companion, who is at great risk of exposure. In order to achieve a cover, it is necessary to first admit the crime and the method of crime in exchange for the trust of the police, and then lie when confessing other circumstances. Moreover, the "jihadists" seem to be very enthusiastic about perishing together, admitting these crimes may be honorable rather than shameful in their view, and she has already been attacked four times and has no regrets.
The second contradiction, Sampson’s reaction when he heard about Luke and his investigation in the fifth episode was quite strange. In the sixth episode, facing the male protagonist with a bomb, he would kill him indiscriminately. The claim is also dubious. But the leaker uncovered at the end of this season is the male lead's boss. This character will be a traitor who personally thinks it makes sense but has no foundation. It doesn't feel like a high-level reversal. Suppose that Luke traded information with her on behalf of the criminal group because his position within the group prevented him from reaching Sampson; and after the incident was revealed, Clark would voluntarily plead guilty in order to save Sang. Pawson - If the second season's plot goes that way, there's no contradiction here.
Third, regarding the character of Chanel, this is a character that I think the writers have dealt with really vaguely this season. This character was fired in the first episode and made a lot of noise, which caused the male protagonist to be summoned to deal with it. It feels a little strange to leave in a black car, but I thought it was an Uber.) Those are the highlights of the character, and her problem is that her ties to the gang are unclear. At first, the angry fired staff set up after she contacted the newspaper office to dig up Julia's black material, but then her relationship with the gang was confirmed to have existed for a long time, and she had an interview with the reporter. It became redundant (if the gang took this measure to discredit Julia, but at that time Julia had not yet paid attention to the police station and the security bureau, it was a bit strange for them to install Chanel, so why bother Julia on purpose? Woolen cloth). If she was an insider of the gang or Luke's lover, as a "spy" who was trusted by the organization and had been planted by Julia's side, how could she coerce a little while the male protagonist was wanted by the police? Honestly cooperate with him to arrest Luke, not to mention that Chanel actually had a chance to stop him from behind when the male protagonist raised a gun at Luke. I think the only reasonable explanation is that Luke saw her desire for money (as reflected in her gorgeous dress), lured her to do things for him with a bounty, and might secretly blackmail her for safety, complicity in crime, etc. It's like saying that she is from Luke's side, but also an outsider in the gang. Contacting the newspaper in this way is a personal act, and everything else makes sense. If so, this character should still need to appear in the future, but the script behind it has not yet been released, and the complete character of this person is probably still being conceived.
There are some contradictions in the drama, which is actually normal. It is not a problem to dig some holes for future dramas to deal with. It's just that I really like this drama, and I like the dark brain hole and the suddenness of the turning point. However, when I was appreciating the wonderful plot, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the viewing experience immediately dropped a lot... Combining the highlights and ambiguities of this show, I scored 8.5 (for reference, the first season of Sherlock, the detective, gave it a 9). Still looking forward to the continuation of the second season.
