First of all, let’s talk about the shooting style. The overall tone is dark tones, which is a bit depressing. Then when I first watched it, it might be for a sense of reality, so the lens was like shooting with a DV, and the shaky shooting made me Feeling a little dizzy. By the time I saw the seventh episode, I got used to it, it felt very real, and my heart moved with the drama.
Let's talk about the scene of the black female police detective protecting the little girl in episode 7 alone. It's really real. I'm so nervous watching it, and she's really thoughtful about everything she does. There were car lights shaking outside, and it felt a little wrong. In order to prevent the little girl from panicking, she said to get food, but in fact, she went to get a pistol. Later, when the lights were getting closer, it felt wrong, so I picked up the big guy and asked for help first. After giving the pistol to the little girl, let her stay in the closed bathroom, and then carry the gun and shoot the person downstairs. When I got downstairs, I found a voice upstairs and suspected that someone had gone upstairs. After I went upstairs quietly, I found the suspect. At this time, the gun she gave the little girl would work. Then she felt that the driver outside found something wrong and wanted to flee, so she ran out with the barrel of the big gun and fought with the machine gun. Thinking about the situation at the time made me numb. A woman wanted to protect a girl and deal with a group of gangsters. When I watched it, I was really nervous. very real!
Many crime dramas describe how to solve cases and how to deal with criminals to make them confess, and there are many successful dramas of this kind, such as Criminal Minds, which I love most, and THE CLOSER, which is a combination of humorous and witty groups. If the new drama wants to stand on its feet, it must not follow the back of these dramas. When Southland deals with the usual trivial cases, the main focus is on the portrayal of the characters. Let’s talk about the characters below. I also like the screenwriter to enlarge the background of these characters, and the background of each character is also very rich.
Needless to say, Ben, watching a drama just because of him, has the attitude of giving it a try. He plays a bit of a sullen policeman in it, but he also shows some unique skills from time to time. His partner, John Cooper, feels very manly, patrolling with back pain, his father committed rape and murder, the family is very bad, and now he is alone, his wife was mentioned in the play, but it should be divorced . Moreover, the gossip is that if you are careful, you will find that every time he goes to drink, it is gay. At the end of the seventh episode, that look is also very ambiguous, which should be a secret that goes without saying, and The screenwriter also said that this aspect is designed in the play, and I think there will be a lot of Cooper's good plays in the next season.
Lydia, this strong woman, is strong on the outside, strong on the inside, and very loving. Partner Clarke is also an interesting guy, and the end of episode 7 left us with a suspense about him.
Sal, the old man, had a entanglement with his mistress, but his daughter didn't understand it. He went to rave and took drugs too much before the daughter told the truth, and buried herself in her father's arms aggrieved. Warmth.
Moretta, at first I thought this actor looked familiar, it turned out to be Santos from Betty! He feels very street in Betty, and it feels good here. It was also very tangled with his daughter. The brother whom the daughter had called for more than ten years turned out to be her father. And the relationship between him and his wife is not very clear. This story line is intriguing.
Sammy, Sammy! He feels very handsome and cute, and he has a wife who makes him worry and always gets into trouble, as well as a cute anti-drug dog. After a busy day outside, he hoped that his wife would cook dinner and wait for him when he came home, but his wife was always disobedient. I can feel Sammy's pressure, but I can also feel that he and his wife have a deep and tolerant relationship.
Brown, a single mother, is not portrayed much in the play, but her worry-free partner makes him feel a lot of pressure. In the last episode, her partner was a B*tch! I also feel pretty depressed for Brwon. I thought he would cry with excitement, but after the accident, he sat in the car so calmly, a strong woman!
Without realizing it, I have said too much, and I have given too much to what I have not seen. If the screenwriter can grasp it well and the quality is always high, I think this drama will be evergreen and popular.
All in all, highly recommended!
