Fooled by the high quality of the first episode

It took me a few days to watch the first episode of this highly rated drama, and the overall impression is not bad. American dramas have this kind of problem. The first episode earned enough attention, and the branch lines in the later episodes were a bit scattered. The scenes of some characters did not affect the overall situation, and they were not very profound. It was a bit stiff in the middle. .

For example, the male protagonist's son dragged the corpses of animals, just to study the feeding methods of vultures, asked if he could go to hunt birds, asked someone to go to the gun store to buy guns, almost shot and killed the subordinates of the drug lord, and was finally robbed by the old man. , The male protagonist's son's gloomy character is not finally and clearly presented; the male protagonist's daughter almost drowned in swimming, and when the evangelist finally baptized his child in the sea, his face showed a fierce and out of control look. These tasks are handled as if the writers are telling you: Watch out, something big is going to happen. When your curiosity was brought up, he said surprise again, to make you play, you were scared.

I can only understand this way of handling it as follows: the screenwriter himself does not yet know what to shape this character, and there is no general direction, but only from the details, let the audience imagine. Such a character is untenable.

There is no reason for the daughter's emotional drama, whether it is sex with the second generation of the yacht rich or reconciliation with the long-haired gangster, it is even more incomprehensible that the little sister killed his uncle, is it just to learn money laundering The art of killing a loved one?

The characters are not three-dimensional, the atmosphere is not prominent, and the overall feeling is a bit like a tiger-like dog.

Jason Bateman plays such a role very well.

Waiting for the second season, but I don't feel much hope of a big hit.
