Lie Lie Lie

Different from HBO’s elite intellectual route, FX’s TV dramas are boutiques with unique tastes, such as Shield, Nip/Tuck, Dirt, Resuce Me, etc. The taste is more “rush” and darker, such as the “Crack” that it strongly promoted this year ( Damages), the center of the show is "Trust no one", and you can see all kinds of lies in every episode until the last minute.
It's not a legal drama, but it's definitely the best suspense thriller of the year. You must know that it is much easier to make a 2-hour suspense movie than a 13-episode suspense TV series. Just looking at the screenwriter's level, "Crack" is much better than "Lost" and "Prison Break", at least not very obvious. The flaw, its biggest weakness is that the emotional drama is too weak and rigid, and at the same time, in order to lay the groundwork for the second season, some side plots have to be added.
One of the highlights of the play is the role of the first heroine Patty, Glenn Close, who has won 5 Oscar nominations. Jiang is still old and hot, and Rose Byrne who plays Ellen is quite different from her. Among the actors Ted Danson, the actor of Art, can play the villain with flesh and blood. Ted's skills are indeed extraordinary, while the other male actors are lackluster. In short, this drama is that the light of women completely covers men, and it also reflects the current world from one side. trend.
Personally, I predict that "Crack" will gain considerable popularity in feminist developed areas such as Shanghai, but the script is aimed at a small audience, so it is unlikely that it will be as popular as "Prison Break".
In short, if you have some confidence in your own understanding and can restrain your curiosity, then "Crack" will definitely not let you down.

    Not as exciting as expected. The behavior of the characters is not balanced enough, and many tricks are completely unrealistic and uncontrollable in terms of cost/benefit. How can the rivers and lakes be so mixed. The logic of the plot development seems to be more accommodating to the screenwriter, rather than the abilities and interests of the characters themselves. As a series, the suspense set at the beginning controls most of the space, it is too long, and the flavor is not strong enough when unpacking. Thankfully there are still buttons. Then watch the second season...
