All characters are negative in a series
The subject matter is good-the protagonist is a person with a super story, born in a successful big counterattack in the power circle, the media circle, plus personal strong style ability, and Republican belief, there is no sex scandal, and there is already enough fierce character
Coupled with the various #metoo trends, this episode is especially advancing with the times and it makes the topic of #metoo more sustainable, very good
The characters in the play are really not positive
1. The protagonist, Roger Ailes, does not respect women and his employees are also domineering. There is no need to mention all the negatives. But there is a little difference, that is, his insight and courage are also very shocking.
He alone can completely decide the direction of Fox News and take full responsibility. This is how much courage to believe in his own ability-really few people can do it
He can even let Fox News land ahead of time without a salary-this has to be how confident he is. I admire his conviction and his insights (after all, Fox News is still a successful money-making machine under his leadership)
2. Rupert is famous for Murdoch , but there is no glorious image in the eyes of the western people. In this drama, it is an image that penetrates the eyes of the money from beginning to end.
3. The image of Rupert's two sons is even more negative. The second generation ancestor is incapable and has no qualifications. Still need to always prove that Roger is a scum, and his ability and knowledge will fall them n blocks. After all, they are ordinary people born in the Murdoch family. I just can't accept my own human society
4. Gretchen , to be honest, I must be biased against the actor Naomi Watts. Her performance of Painted Veil was not likable. Seeing Gypsy's various tweaks and abandoning the show, the whole performance saw her pulling her little lips and didn't see anything. Acting? ! So I don’t particularly like her role. If she stands up because of the principle of sexual harassment, then I think there is a reason for her, but in the last episode, she said that her reason is actually because Roger did not recognize her. Suppression-she seems to be a little girl who doesn’t like her father. Just imagine if Roger gave her praise, then the sexual harassment would not be so unbearable to her. In the end, what made Roger apologize was that he hurt her self-esteem instead of the sexual harassment. , That is, because of asking this, I feel that her lawsuit lacks credibility-she is three words after all-utilitarian! She is not the original intention of justice for women, and is far from the bravery she wants to represent, so in fact, I really want to know where her $20 million in hush money has gone.
5. Beth Ailes -As the original partner , she has joined Roger's cult. As the mother of a child, what can she do.
6. Not to mention other Roger's lackey roles. Perhaps the most remarkable is Judy, Roger's secretary . It turns out that the secretary can earn two million dollars a year? It really blinds my eyes. She might be really loyal. How could it be possible that she didn't know about Roger.
Finally, I think why this series does not have such a high score. I personally feel that there may still be a little flaw in the characterization. For example, is Roger really so extreme? About being a local newspaper, about the conspiracy theory that he finally felt that Clinton was instigating Gretchen behind his back? I think it’s a little bit of facial makeup, some people can’t believe it.
