The first season of Frozen Blood just won the best miniseries from the Emmy Awards. After seeing the preview of the second season, I am very looking forward to the cast and script of this season. Metacritics gave it a score of 96 after the first episode aired, which is the highest rated American drama I have seen this year.
The second season is about the Sioux Falls massacre mentioned several times in the first season. You should remember that the heroine's father in the first season slightly described the content of this massacre in the play. It also paved the way for the plot of this season.
The second season has Kristen Dunst, who I like, as the heroine, and Patrick Wilson, who I like but have never been famous for.
**The following part contains a small amount of spoilers**
The first episode of the second season brought a completely different shooting style at the beginning, and used a lot of interesting shots. For example, the male protagonist used the wall as a picture when he was reading to his daughter at home. separation; a scene where the hero picks up a dollar outside the Waffle Hut; These vague senses of humor make people smile silently while watching.
The most exciting is the scene where Rye, the youngest son of the local power old man, shoots the judge and the waiter in the Waffle Hut. The script and shooting details kept showing that this is what a real Drama feels like. The waiter inadvertently frightens the guilty Rye three times; Rye hurriedly adds milk to the coffee after ordering coffee; the judge is picky about the burger being too hard; the judge pulls out a can of Bug Killer. Afterwards, it was immediately transferred to the judge. Even when death came, he still did not forget to say a witty "Oh, Crap", and then fell down after being shot. There are other interesting details I probably don't remember.
From the first episode, it can be seen that the descriptions of several characters are very good: Dunst can pretend that nothing happened after crashing and escaping. The master of escapism, from the dialogue about having children, can detect her character is the most obvious. Escaping from reality, after being discovered by her husband, he immediately instilled his long-prepared thoughts into his husband, and wanted to flee to the California he longed for immediately. After Wilson received the call, he investigated the scene unhurriedly and did not speak much. When I heard my father-in-law's joke, I just smiled and passed it on. I was already under a lot of pressure from many things. I wanted to try my best to get rid of the case. I went to the bar and just sat down and ordered a drink before I got up and left. When I got home, I opened the refrigerator and didn't need a cup. Drinking milk, listening to my wife say a few things about home, I can only sigh in a daze, it seems that I have a lot of thoughts and I don't want to show it, and I suppress it in my heart. Most of these characters are emotionally unaware. Rye, a character a lot like Frank's son in the second season of the Wire, low self-esteem and arrogant, aspiring but drug dependent, is dead in the first episode. Dunst's husband, a typical North Central American of Nordic descent, honest and not cunning, may continue the good qualities of those good Minnesota people in the first season.
All in all, these are the ways to express a Dramatic. The actor's expression, the use of props, the content of the dialogue, every detail needs to reflect the Drama.
I like it very much. This is a high-quality American drama in 15 years. I highly recommend it.
