Front row reminder: Although this comment has no obvious spoilers, it will inevitably affect the experience of watching the drama. If you have already given a high score to this show, don't watch it unless you are strong enough. Declaration of interest: none.
A very interesting phenomenon is that as soon as there are well-made American dramas with topics to talk about, some people will compare them with Game of Thrones and Western World. The problem is that Game of Thrones and Western World are works that construct an independent worldview. They don't need real time and space as a carrier. As for Huangshi, he clearly set the time and place in Montana in 2018, so obviously this drama is dedicated to getting closer to reality and is directly based on our world. In this case, the audience's expectations for the latter will naturally not be the same as the former two.
From the cast, location selection, costume props and shooting techniques (well, we usually mention these things when evaluating "conscience domestic dramas"), this drama is undoubtedly a sincere work. Unfortunately, the plot goes high and low. From the second episode, it seems that a helicopter has landed on a broken pickup truck, and it is still a second-hand broken pickup truck. Some plots are messy or even dispensable (one for drug dealers, one for campus fights, one for Chinese tourists, introducing various box lunch characters that have been taken without beginning and end), and some plots are quite outrageous if they are not vague (such as The Indian chief’s motives for buying land, various interventions in the judiciary, and the two members of the Dutton family’s political intentions like child’s play—I can understand Beth’s children’s shoes. Jamie is so naive as a lawyer, and even the campaign assistants in the show can’t bear it. Can't help but complain). Okay, maybe this is the setting of this play. Western movies, even if they can't draw their guns to a duel at any time, they have to give people a sense of a savage world out of reality. If the long-term worker hired by your family bullies your cute pet, then the best solution is obviously to send someone to the train station to meet God—he who has been a cowboy in Montana for many years will certainly not doubt the way The road to the railway station is a cliff-side mountain road.
The characters are a little confused, and often they are empty and have no real action, because it seems that most of their time every day is spent groaning without illness (I hate my father, my mother doesn’t love me, why is my sister better than me, and why is my younger brother? It can cause trouble all day long. When did my dad get cancer?), take the trouble to ask for trouble (and it's okay to find one if you find trouble), and then compare each other miserably. To be honest, such miserable protagonists still live a life that billionaires admire but can't own, while the distress of billionaires is what the masses of melon-eaters want to own but can't own. This world is so graceful.
When I talk about characters, I mean by default the Dutton family (including those criminals who have been branded in the style of the 19th century). As for the rest, I'm afraid it can only be regarded as a role but not a character. The villain characters in the play are full of facial makeup, lack of depth and low IQ performance. The Indian chief not only has the motive of buying land (similar to the role of the Indian chief in other American dramas), but he also constantly interferes with the justice-but it is possible that the law of the reserved land is different from other places in the United States, and there is probably no separation of administration and justice. . The female governor is obviously not much better. After all, the focus of the state's work is in Old Dutton's bedroom, and it will inevitably bind her hands and feet. But at least we will not confuse her with the female senator who first appeared on the repeater who was manipulated by the Indian chief. In short, the women in politics in this show seem to be very unwelcome. Oh, and thank you for letting me know about Bozeman, the world’s most unlucky real estate tycoon, in Montana. His main hobbies include practicing golf putting on the edge of the ranch that smells like cow dung, and being fattened by cowboys in bars. beat. For the rest of the characters, the sense of existence is much weaker than that of the heroic horse and the brave bear in the play, forgive me for not remembering so much.
There is no lack of finely crafted golden lines in the lines, but it is a pity that they are "inadvertently" through the mouth of a small person, but they still appear deliberate. This feeling is as if you are listening to the characters written by Balzac in Mario Puzo's novels. Talk about jokes. The new cowboy boy plays a good guitar and has a good voice, but the traces of cameos are more than those left by the destruction of the dead bodies of Casey and Uncle Indian. Probably this is a typical "excessive force" type of American drama, to apply the lines of Soy Sauce Cowboy #1, "If you call this a drama, then don't show me your so-called bad drama."
