A tool for whitewashing "Project Prism"

In the drama shortage, I accidentally saw that the rating of this drama has risen and it has not been cut, so I found it and watched it again.

After 10 episodes, I feel that the plot is actually not bad, so why did you give up this drama in the first place?

There are two main reasons:

First, the acting skills of the male protagonist as a secret agent are slightly lacking. He does not have the introverted, courageous, and calm temperament that he should have. Instead, he is so full of emotions that people can't stand it. Dude, you are a secret agent. Is it okay to show that kind of literary middle-aged expression of sadness and pity at all times? ! However, it's a crooked fight. Obviously, from the perspective of basic love, this starring is hitting the cute point of the rotten female public.

The second is that the narrative of the technology of "national surveillance" is too biased, blindly beautifying and emphasizing its importance, without reflection, or deliberately covering up its dark side. At the time, I just thought it was strange, shouldn't it be the other way around, according to the American people's tune that democracy is paramount and individuality is paramount? It was not until the Snowden incident broke out that the "Prism Project" was exposed. It turned out that this drama was a preventive measure. It affected the public's consciousness before the "Prism Project" was exposed, and told you that national surveillance was necessary. If you don't believe me, watch it and suffer. People cover all walks of life, maybe one of them is you. If it weren't for this "system", how many people would die innocently, so the "Prism Project" is inevitable. But of course, it is only necessary on the side of the United States. If other countries use it, it is a violation of human rights and deserves to be sanctioned by the justice hammer of the United States.

But after excluding these two points, the whole drama is still flawed, and the score can even be around 8.0-8.5, which is already a very high score, and it is worth collecting and watching.

  • Harold Finch: [Opening narration, Season 2] You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The Government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find *you*
