If "suspense" has become a pattern

The story structure of this drama is very similar to "The Prisoner", with suspense as the main line, telling the story of the protagonist being inexplicably taken to a small town and then trying to escape. Two episodes have just aired, and the protagonist has dug out the implant in his leg and escaped the microwave barrier, but he returned to the town instantly after encountering a white light in the jungle. Also like "The Prisoner", the protagonists try their best and then find that all efforts are in vain, and the end of "The Prisoner" is a connection between the inner world and the outer world (denying the meaning of escape), the author believes that "The Stranger" will not copy it. This routine, but the town in the play will definitely not be a real existence. According to the current development of the plot, a bold guess is: the town is a server with its own program, and the brain of each protagonist in the play is blocked. The purpose of connecting to this network is of course unknown (such as the unreality of the construction of several Chinese characters and the hotel manager in the play, the white light when they escaped is like a system restart, etc.), the show has just started So there's nothing more to say, I just hope that this kind of suspense drama doesn't end up unfinished. Fortunately, it's a 13-episode novel, so even if it's unfinished, it won't fool the audience for six years like "lost".
In terms of production, the characters in the play include men and women, military businessmen, blacks and whites, old and young, which ensures that the diversity of gender, race, social class and other aspects provides space for the development of character relationships, and the acting skills of the actors are universal. generally. The setting of the scene is relatively simple. At present, only a hotel, a Chinese restaurant and a police station in a small town have appeared, and the layout is relatively small. Several vistas pull well, such as a jungle mountain that pulls out of town and a vista of San Francisco.
I'm still looking forward to this drama, but I'm just confused. When the suspense becomes a mode, where will the highlights of these dramas be? Of course, the suspense of this drama, for now, is not bad.
