In November, Apple officially launched the streaming TV Apple TV+, and at the same time launched a number of original dramas in one go.
The dean has recommended two of them.
One is a dystopian science fiction drama "Seeing" , which tells the story of the future hundreds of years later, and humans have become blind.
There is also a realist workplace drama "Morning News" , which involves many current sensitive topics.
It can be seen from these two films that Apple did spend a lot of energy on original dramas, not just investing a lot of money...
But it is a pity that there is no big heat.
Today I continue to recommend Apple’s new drama, a horror theme that is difficult to become a hit——
"Spirit Maid"
Servant
A total of 10 episodes, each episode is 30 minutes. (The first three episodes went live directly yesterday)
The word-of-mouth on the Internet is not bad, IMDb 8.1 points / popcorn 100% , most viewers gave it a high rating.
The setting of "The Strange Maid" is quite interesting. It tells the story of a weird babysitter invited by a bereaved family.
The reason why it is said to be interesting is that the plot of this drama basically takes place in a house. Although there are not many actors, they are basically familiar faces.
For example, Rupert Grint , who plays the heroine's younger brother "Julian" , does not really recognize him as the little Ron in "Harry Potter" without reading the introduction...
There are also Neil Tiger Fry (Sela Baratheon in "Power Tour"), Toby Kebel ("Black Mirror" and "Master of Escape"), Lauren Apolos ("Six Under the ruler)...
Have you found out? Apple really can do it in terms of lineup. In "Seeing", there is Ma Wang Jason Momoa, and in "The Morning News", Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon is invited...
"Supernatural maid" as a horror theme is hard to please, please familiar face but still caused so much ... can only say that Apple really is rich and powerful.
The story begins on a rainy day. The nanny recruited by the hostess Dorothy on the Internet came to their home.
The unknowing male protagonist "Sean" was a little surprised. Because the babysitter who came to the home really surprised him. Not only was he young and beautiful , he also asked for a low salary, only 900 yuan a month.
Although there was some doubt in his mind, Sean didn't say much.
After all, his own family affairs are already annoying enough...
He and his wife Dorothy originally had a child, but unfortunately they died after only 13 weeks of raising.
From then on, Dorothy was a little unhealthy .
Shaun was afraid of her accident, so he adopted a special treatment. Comfort Dorothy with a fake rag doll.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Dorothy had been enchanted ever since, and regarded this fake doll as the child she had not yet passed away...
In order to better treat Dorothy, Sean acted and invited the nanny "Lian" with her.
Li'an's main duty is to take care of this fake doll.
According to common sense, how could a normal person actively cooperate with such absurd things...
But Liane's behavior when she came to the house was too evil and very strange.
It seemed to her that this was a living child.
Regardless of whether there is anyone in the family, she is so serious...
Sean panicked a little.
This nanny, why is he more ill than his wife~
In an accidental situation, Sean discovered that Lianne was a devout believer.
The gods are talking, making Sean a little scared.
So, he said that when Li Ann was not at home, he sneaked into her room.
In the end, I found something, a strange little grass man...
And this strange little grass man appeared in the doll's room within a few days.
Sean's heart grew worse.
In fact, this is indeed the case. From the perspective of our audience, we can see that Lean’s problem is very big...
Liane is not so well-behaved on the surface.
Whenever the owner's family went out, she seemed to have changed people, treating this place as her home. Secretly wiped the hostess’s lipstick, drank red wine, and played the piano..
It’s always fascinating at home, and there seems to be a little bit different thoughts about the heroine...
But this male protagonist is a bit miserable.
As if being cursed, the male protagonist's body will always have barbeds inexplicably. First the soles of the feet, then the hips, and finally appeared in the throat...
This is nothing.
The weird things that made the hero unacceptable happened soon after.
His ragdoll son turned out to be a living child!
Judging from the current first three episodes, "Amazing Maid" is not an American horror drama in the dean's impression.
I didn't even see any blood plasma...
This time, it turned out to be cold and cold.
The atmosphere of the whole show is very full, and Sean is not the kind of common mentally handicapped male protagonist. He was aware of Lean's problem from the beginning.
To this end, he also asked her brother-in-law to travel thousands of miles to investigate Li'an's life experience...
The results are even more surprising.
The identity information on Li'an's resume turned out to be the deceased who has passed away...
Who the hell is Lean? What is the purpose of her coming here? What is the fate of the hero family?
Hope the next story, don't let us down...
Fans who like horror themes can enter the pit.
