The single-line plot, double-problem police cast turned into a large collection of multilateral small casts, and it was completely messed up

The first few episodes of the first season are all reminiscence plots, explaining the origins of the family backgrounds of the two problematic policemen played by the two big casts. The beans hold their breath, but because the person who eats (Hollywood-level big cast) + the way of eating (the classic old handsome guy re-enters the role of a drug addict, a psychopath and a cheating scumbag + a super big naked girl with green eyes + a sweet wife for B) is weird, plus The single-line plot (looking for yellow kingdom) has always existed but was not found. The audience had to watch the ending in order to find the last stinky fart. The ending lived up to expectations, and it was really weird and couldn't be weirder (yellow king is a big fat man with snake spirit disease) Fucking my sister, tying up and killing my father, etc.), everyone enjoyed it very much.

HBO found that the collection of big cast + weird plot = ratings, and started the "multi-cast problem police + weird plot" mode that does not look back. The first season is applied, but the second season has watched 6 episodes, and the ins and outs of the four corners are accounted for For most of the time, the single-line plot or the multi-line plot feels very little. On the contrary, the case has become the link of the cast's autobiography. It seems that I don't know if the old pervert whose eyes were gouged participated in the torture. The prostitute party, or he killed a lot of prostitutes, or the mayor of the garbage dump is in the business of selling organs. It seems that the process of self-dissection of the four protagonists is too long.

As for these four protagonists, everyone except Rachel is not an A-list star, or even an A-line supporting role. Vince has been in the shit gang for many years. He wrote, directed, acted, or participated in too many similar films. It proves that Sharp was still there when he made his debut as a horror murderer, but the plot was too thin and there was too little space for him. Colin was still the same person who played the problem police all day long. Rachel and Taylor are completely superfluous, especially Taylor's play was added abruptly and has nothing to do with the whole plot. Rachel's cult pope father may have something to do with the finale. Last time there were no female characters, this time It's okay to add one.

Personally, I think it's enough for Vince+Colin to play. One of them played the fat boss who recaptured the boss of the underground bloody world, and the other played the black policeman with a sense of justice. Isn't it just right, the other used his own Bloody digging opponents on the Internet, a 12-year-old son's classmate beat up a Filipino maid wildly, more arrogant and domineering than the previous two He discovered that the entire city was the center of the cult, and the mayor's family had killed hundreds of thousands of people as a gu. This series will become a must-see fourth-level big cast.

The other two characters wasted 50% of the performance time, making the whole drama very discrete and not compact, and even I don't know why, the two of them are not pushing the main plot faster.

It is estimated that there will be no third season at the end of this season, because the script is too general to take care of the cast, and the bosses of HBO should see that they can't watch it themselves.
