The first season of Battle of the Bone is over, and 9 episodes have been finished, and I want to talk about my opinion. There is no doubt that Battle of the Bone is a very good legal drama. From the first episode, the plot has turned straight down, which makes people feel frightened by the impermanence of life, and applauds the heroines' spirit of not giving up and uncompromising in the fight against fate. Too many beanies have praised this drama, so let me talk about what I think is the weak point of the plot.
First of all, Lucca, as a supporting role in The Good Wife, this role is very colorful and very pleasing. When Alicia was at a low point in her career, she offered a helping hand and established a friendship with her to work hard for her career. She was responsible and capable. However, as one of the heroines of The Battle of the Bold, her line is the least and most bland among the three. The first season has ended. In addition to her strong work ability, compassion, some charm, and some self-esteem, she also What characteristics can be seen? There is almost no ink on her family background and school background, and there is no plot that can particularly express the character. I still haven't figured out what it means to have her as one of the main characters.
Maia's actors are very fond of her because they have played the fiery kiss of Game of Thrones, and the development of her plot line is also very tangled and heart-wrenching. But what I want to complain about is that although family problems are indeed her biggest problem at the moment, as an employee of a law firm, as a new lawyer, I can hardly see the scene of her working. Is this reasonable?
The last line is Diane, which is in line with her usual strong queen style. But she is also a human being. She has been the head of a law firm with power for so many years. She lost almost everything in one day and had to rely on others to become a general partner. No matter how strong she is, she should have emotions. Wouldn't she be sad when she recalled her past glories in the dead of night? Wouldn't she have negative emotions when the women in power in the new law firm pushed her out? But in the show, aside from the emotionally charged beginning, the unfortunate things that didn't happen before, the writers seem eager to get her back to normal. In The Good Wife, at least she still suspects and reconciles with Will from time to time, and battles wits with other partners. Why is she here like an emotionless machine handling cases one by one. Too few contradictions in the plot will inevitably lead to the blandness of the characters.
Speaking of which, I can't help but miss the "good wife" Alicia. The reason why The Good Wife is so successful is also because it has created a very real protagonist with flesh and blood. When showing the style of the legal court, she also deeply portrayed her life and family, her husband's betrayal, her children's rebellion, her lover's betrayal. The mutual attraction between the two, the changeable customers, the cunning of the opponents... And her greatest charm is that she can remain restrained and calm in the face of various difficulties and setbacks. Whenever she thinks she is about to collapse, she pulls the hem of her clothes instead. He stroked his hair, restrained all the expressions on his face, and appeared in front of the crowd with a proud and unhurried attitude.
All in all, I think one of the current problems in the battle of the proud is that the setting of the three female protagonists causes everyone to not analyze it thoroughly enough. Of course, this is only the ten episodes of the first season, and it is definitely not comparable to the 156 episodes of The Good Wife. So let's wait and see what happens next year.
The above is just my humble opinion, there may be something wrong, please don't take it to heart.

Watching the finale of season one today, the writers finally took Maia to court. But the plot took a big turn. One moment I was moved by Maia's father's sacrifice for justice and the warmth of their family. The next moment, her father ran away leaving Maia to face all the charges. It can be seen that her father and mother are both selfish people. How did such people cultivate Maia's righteous spirit?
One of the advantages of the show, which The Good Wife does not have, lies in its close connection with the changes of the times and current affairs and politics, whether it is the line of law firms about Trump and Hillary, conservatives and liberals The confrontation of ideas, or the case about the latest Internet technology, can make people feel a strong sense of substitution and close connection, as if Diane and us are in the same space and the same era, as if they are real characters. . . The ability to make people feel this way is rare in other American dramas.
