TV dramas themed on marriage and family are always full of cruel truths. The most popular boutique drama is "Big Little Lies", and this drama is even bloodier than "Big Little Lies".
"Doing Nothing" is adapted from the novel "Knowing Today". In the book, Jonathan is a control freak. He controls everything about Grace and controls her to stay away from friends and family, while raising her mistress outside.
The murderer of Elena in the book is Grace's husband Jonathan, but the screenwriter of the show said that only the first two episodes of the show are based on the content of the novel, so there will be a huge change in the subsequent plot.
In the trailer, we also saw the scene of flying a plane to catch the prisoner, as well as the court trial scene that is not in the novel. Jonathan hired a lawyer to defend himself, and used all his contacts to get out of himself.
The lawyer in the play said something very intriguing: in order to protect themselves, they will use all means to erase the dirty facts, which is what the powerful people do.
This sentence also hints at the main theme of the show: tearing down the perfect disguise of the powerful. The director uses the time of a play to reveal how the elites use money and power to turn black and white.
I don't know how the screenwriter will make a drastic adaptation in the subsequent plot, connect the clues of the murder case, and use this murder case to tear the mask of the powerful class apart?
