hope never dies

The best suspense drama after "Little Lies" and "Sharp Weapon". Amy Adams and Kate Winslet reached their career-best at the same time when they starred in "The Crisis Middle-aged Woman in American Town". In the declining rust town, the performances of the two conveyed the triviality, tiredness and hopelessness of ordinary people drowning in mediocre life with extreme precision. The script of the first episode is quite solid, with the proliferation of drugs, the disintegration of nuclear families, the residents who know each other well, generations of underage mothers, and the feminist suspense film is no longer about how exciting the crime solving process itself is, but about the past of the criminals. And the world in which he lives with pity. Director Craig Zobe, who specializes in apocalyptic themes, as always lived up to expectations. The pace is slow enough but there is no waste. "East City Nightmare" is filled with a deep despair, that kind of omnipresent sense of doomsday in daily life.

Rather than suspense, it is better to use the shell of suspense to discuss women, mothers and families. There are hardliners like Mare and passive ones like Lori. A rebellious daughter needs her mother's advice when she is vulnerable. The old mother who is nagging and critical is also "I'm always on your side, even if it doesn't look like it." And "Forgive Me", the victim's mother tried her best to heal her son's ears, the drug-addicted mother returned to work hard to fight for custody of the prodigal son, and the world was struggling with ups and downs. In the last episode, the three generations of the Mare family reconciled in the restaurant , make me cry. The same is true for women who save women. Compared with "The Best of Innocence", this story has no openings or spectacles, but it is more extreme and gentle. Kate's acting was amazing, as was the one who played her mother. Although some of the suspenseful cases are not complicated, the double reversal of saving the missing girl in the fifth episode and the last episode is also handled well. A lot of smoke bombs were deliberately put in front to guide the audience to guess in different directions. There should not be many people who guessed in the end. This is also one of the fun of watching suspense.
