I haven't watched "The Good Wife", and I haven't seen any American dramas. It seems that any kind of drama cannot be defined by the old perspective. New things are always created.
The overall understanding of the first season of "The Great War" is felt through the second season.
The entire first season revolves around one thing - the Ponzi scam. As the daughter of financial tycoon Henry Rindell, Maia Rindell was taken care of by acquaintances when she joined the company. But on the second day after joining the job, because of fund fraud, a privileged rich second-generation lady instantly became the daughter of Henry Rindell, whom everyone hates. As someone who "enjoys" working-class pensions, she "should" endure cyber violence. . Another heroine, Diane Lockhart, who had a happy house at the beginning of the first season, was about to retire and move to the island, and the next day the scam took her out of the money. I have no choice but to return to the original law firm, but it is not accepted. It's just that people choose the best way for themselves. This kind of background enabled Diane Lockhart to enter Robert Boseman's law firm and began the story of the underprivileged group in the first season.
I have to say that the screenwriter put all kinds of people in American society together and started a heated discussion of legal and social issues. So that's what makes American dramas different from other dramas. Because there are more intense social conflicts and more sober people, there will be more profound TV series. And domestic dramas cannot expose sharp social contradictions, and it is beyond reproach, because they dare not expose them, so there will be the tragedy of all dramas turning into romance dramas.
Racial discrimination is impossible not to exist. Even in the United States, which has always emphasized racial discrimination, it is more common. Friendship with foreigners like China's loss of confidence is impossible in the United States. A law firm composed of black groups enjoys more government help, which also makes it a reverse manifestation of racial discrimination to a certain extent.
The normalization of homosexuality is the perfect narrative. Maybe it's because I don't watch American dramas much. When I saw Maia Rindell and Amy together, they were not questioned. I enjoyed the blessings of my parents and friends, and I felt a very comfortable and reassuring feeling. Unlike other dramas, the play does not emphasize the plight of the gay community, emphasizes their differences from others, and uses normalized narratives to express normal orientations. I think this is the perfect performance. Of course, it is largely due to the recognition of homosexuality in American society.
In the face of national events and government decisions, all successes are failures. The most impressive verdict was also the most intense trial between Lucca Quinn and Colin Morello. Lucca Quinn's agent is Doctors Without Borders. When he tried his best to persuade his brother's 17-year-old child to guide the operation through video, he was tried again and again on the grounds of helping terrorists. In fact, such justice and darkness have been very powerful Obvious. But in fact, the procuratorate did not know that they were being used. When the trial was won, news of the rescue base being bombed by the United States made the news. It turned out that the government wanted to delay the time through the court trial, publicize the incident, and lead the brother out as a terrorist. In the end, more than a dozen MSF and his younger brother, who had just been treated via video, died at the base. In this success, both the law firm and the prosecutor's office are pawns, the real winner and the government. American TV shows never shy about politics, and even in their hearts, politics is used to expose and satirize.
Hamlet-style family tragedy, coupled with real human nature. The key plot that has to be mentioned is that at the beginning, Maia believed very much that her father was framed, that her mother was unaware, and that her uncle was a bad guy. But with the development of the plot, the mother even had an affair with her uncle and jointly framed her father. Continuing to develop, it turns out that my father is really a bad guy, and he really used himself to set up a fund to avoid scrutiny. The father lost Maia in a choice over and over again, and also chose to leave with a 35-year sentence and a 5-year sentence for his daughter. In the face of reality, human nature does not need to be tested, and so do relatives. Although I can understand the emotional tendencies of the screenwriter, it is still a little suspicious to separate the family relationship too much and affirm the "revolutionary friendship" of the law firm.
An inseparable investigator. Whether it's season one or season two, the investigators played by Marissa Gold and Nyambi played a very, very important role in the show. Without them, the key evidence cannot be found, the case cannot be won, and the plot cannot develop. The plot development and twists rely too much on Marissa, and every episode has them, which is bound to fall into the rut. The second season still has such a routine, lacking new ideas
All in all, the first season was very satisfying. And everyone revolves around the big background, the overall 10 episodes narrate the overall story. In the second season, each person's story develops independently, and there are even repeated narrations to show independence, showing the screenwriter's unbiased perspective of the protagonist. The structure and content of each episode are completely independent, and the characters are completely independent. This is the biggest difference between the two seasons. This also makes the second season more focused on legal affairs away from cumbersome family routines.
