They all say "one show for three women". In China, "three women" are either fighting for favor in the harem or falling in love with each other, or friends breaking up or sisters becoming enemies, and the unpopular British drama No Offence shows us the "three women". A different story in the "Woman" mode.
The story tells the story of a police station in Manchester, under the resolute Inspector Viv, there are two best female police officers, one is Dinah, who has outstanding ability to start a family, and the other is Joy, who has only worked for a few years and has little experience. The whole play revolves around "Down Syndrome". The police found that a girl with this disease was serially killed by the same method. Dinah rescued the last victim, Cathy, and let her live in her home, but it was too late. The murderer could not be found, but when they gradually lifted the veil of the murderer, they fell into even greater panic.
I haven't watched much of channel 4's dramas, so I don't expect much satisfaction in reasoning, and I also focused on the case, and found some more exciting places than the case.
Just the characters.
Dinah is undoubtedly a "professional elite". She has a quick mind in solving cases, and she acts neatly. She has a mother, a daughter, and an ex-husband who comes to her from time to time to remarry. She is almost a perfect role. According to the rules, she should be the best police officer , All the way to the sky, the future is limitless. But the show did not give her a "protagonist halo", but made her make mistakes from the very beginning. Only at this time did I understand the meaning of the title of the play, "no offense". Some people made mistakes out of malicious intent, and these three policewomen made mistakes with no intention of offending, especially Dinah, her mistakes were always made out of Impulses for justice, not errors of principle. At first, Dinah took a taxi home and found the suspect out of professional sensitivity. At this time, she could have informed her colleagues, but the prisoner she was chasing was run over by a car, causing her to lose her promotion opportunity. Later, in order to protect Cathy, he repeatedly violated relevant regulations. After knowing the murderer, drive directly to bring the real murderer to justice. Her every impulse came from her inner justice, and she couldn't allow herself to watch the murderer go unpunished.
But Dinah, who is strong on the outside, is also fragile on the inside. He told Cathy that he had received three years of psychotherapy, swept the bastard's father out of the house, and never saw him again. Iron lady is not without worries, but she never shows her vulnerability in front of others. Dinah is not only a policeman, but also a woman and a mother who also needs the warmth of a family. The ex-husband prepared a surprise for her, but she asked Cathy first when she entered the house. The ex-husband could only watch her go upstairs and sigh, and Dinah said helplessly, I'm a nightmare, and went to work overtime again. In the last episode, after too much experience, Dinah finally broke out, fell into the arms of her ex-husband crying, was almost killed and witnessed the murder, but couldn't tell anyone the pain, how uncomfortable it was. Fortunately, she did not have the betrayal that is unique to domestic film and television. On the contrary, Viv helped her cover it up. Joy believed her unconditionally even though she was angry. At the end, You've got my heart, I've got you back. It brought us back to the one who didn't. The age of innocence to prevent fire, theft, and girlfriends".
Joy is more like a newcomer to the workplace. She is shy and shy, but she is very capable but panics when she encounters a major event. Even if Viv wants to talk to her, she has to hide in the bathroom for a long time to prepare herself. Not confident in herself, Viv told her to be selected, but she wanted to withdraw the application. After becoming the sheriff, her subordinates are not afraid of her at all. Viv encourages her as a child, and Dinah is too familiar with her to command her. Compared with Dinah, Joy is not very outstanding in all aspects, but she is like a little turtle that never gives up. With the appearance of a leader, he also began to command his subordinates. Especially in the end, realizing that Dinah and Viv had something to hide from her, Joy transformed from a little policeman who dared not face the leader to a sheriff who directly questioned the leader what he was hiding. After both colleagues and friends were told that they had no comment He did not choose to give up, but secretly investigated. At this time, Joy had already gotten rid of the immaturity of the newcomer and grew into an excellent sheriff.
Viv is definitely a breath of fresh air in the TV series. Just looking at her appearance, she is not as beautiful as Dinah, not as cute and cute as Joy, but she is my favorite character in the whole show. Inspector Viv is cool as soon as he comes up. Generally cool people tend to give the impression of being too cold-blooded, but Viv is not. As a leader, she can find talent and get newcomers running for sheriff with Dinah. After Joy became sheriff, she encouraged her to speak her mind from time to time, told her how to lead her subordinates, and sometimes helped her direct Dinah. But overall, Viv treats Joy as patiently and meticulously as an adult treats a child, waiting for her to mature. Only by working with Dinah can I feel like an adult partner. Knowing that Dinah is smart but lacks strategy, she gives her absolute trust and keeps her a secret. He is as sincere as a friend to all his subordinates, but he is very rational when he encounters a case. The most classic episode of Viv is the success of making all the police officers relax in the bathroom, and she is a hot piece of ginger. She has more strategies than Dinah and more courage than Joy. Do not reveal.
In the last two episodes, the murderer gradually pointed to the friends around him, which also reflected the difference between Dinah and Viv. Viv is rational yet emotional, Dinah is too emotional, Viv thinks that people have a side they don't know, and Dinah is fundamentally I don't want to doubt my friends. Out of professional requirements, Dinah once again offended a friend unintentionally. When a colleague exposed her purpose in person, she ran away, leaving her standing there alone, trying to explain but helpless. Being a police officer is not easy. No one wants to believe that their good friend is a murderer who has been hiding around. The special profession of a police officer must be balanced between law and love.
There are many dramas with women as the protagonists in the UK. "Miss Marple" is a witty old lady, "Bletchley Foursome" is four women with extremely high IQ but hidden, "Calling" "The Midwife" is a group of caring nurses and nuns, and "No Offense" is three policewomen with different personalities...
