The first three episodes are very good-looking, with a strong suspenseful atmosphere, but looking back, there are still many problems with this show. But it's still my favorite drama so far this year, and I hope to push it the most. Mainly because of the content it discusses, topics such as adolescents' mental health, the impact of the Internet on adolescents, and how parents should properly educate and help their children are all worth pondering. My main complaint is the finale finale, as it makes quite a few changes from the original. Maybe this change is necessary in the minds of the director, but in my opinion, it is unnecessary, greatly weakening the sharpness of the original work itself, and lacking the kind of shocking power that makes people stunned.
It seems to be a suspect film, but the focus of the story is not on who is the murderer, but on a series of extended topics about family and education revealed by the incident. Without spoilers, I won't say much about the plot. But it should be pointed out that the protagonist is actually the father played by #Chris Evans# . The film is basically described from his perspective, so many scenes even follow the back of his head, and the audience mainly sees this father for this matter. a series of responses.
After watching it, you will find that the prosecutor played by Mr. Tao is actually very similar to Captain America, especially in terms of stubbornness, seriousness and dogma, and he will stick to his own ideas, no one can stop or change him, no matter what his behavior is. Is it right in the eyes of others. Everything he does is in his eyes to protect his family and those he loves, but a lot of the time, that doesn't have to be fair. What he faced was actually very similar to Steve in Team America 3. But Chris still gave what I think is his personal best performance. "Downton" Miss Michelle Dockery is also very good, many appearances without makeup, showing a haggard and struggling mother. From this mother, we clearly see how a beautiful family can come to collapse.
This play discusses two issues that impressed me the most, and I would like to recommend everyone to pay attention: 1) The influence of the Internet on teenagers. This aspect is very similar to the 2018 movie "Searching". What the two have in common is that the most terrifying moment is when parents discover the little-known side of their children on the Internet, and they suddenly realize that they don't know their children. What is even more frightening is that many parents still refuse to accept this reality. The internet is like a black hole, and you may never know exactly how your teenage son is affected. Nothing scares a parent more than finding out that they don't know anything about their child. After watching this show and "Searching", I'm sure anyone will feel the panic of the writer.
2) The importance of genes and heredity. This is often ignored by parents. They always think that I only need to provide a good environment and a good example for my children. But many times, the power of genes is too powerful. When you realize that your children have inherited what you do not Hope he has the gene, often too late. This is why, when looking for a significant other, bring a magnifying glass. If you are looking for a partner for the purpose of producing offspring, it is best to avoid genes that you do not want your children to inherit. Habits can be changed, but genes cannot. And you have no control over what is inherited.
The whole movie presents a dark tone, which sets off a strong atmosphere of suspense. Although some of the content in the middle is too protracted, it is generally a well-made series.
It landed on Apple TV + on April 24, which happened to be the same schedule as Avengers 4 was released last year. It's been a year, and for anyone who misses Team America, a must-see. You will definitely see Steve Rogers in this one. Especially when Chris says "Whatever it takes".
There is a line in the play that is very useful for us currently facing the new crown: "There was no normal to go back to, there were just before and after."
