Sarah Shahi is no stranger to drama fans who have come after "Suspect Tracking". Now we finally see Xiao Dazhui's "re-employment" success, bringing her new drama "Dream Space" back to the public's field of vision. Obviously, this NBC sci-fi series is difficult to achieve the quality of "Suspect Tracking" in terms of appearance and production quality, and we can't deny the potential of this series in this season's sci-fi series.
The core of "Dream Space" revolves around the latest virtual reality program "Reverie", a fully immersive and customized virtual reality system that customers only need to use with a simple neurotransmitter. However, when some of the first batch of users refused to return to reality or even fell into a coma, people recruited Mara, a former hostage negotiator who is now a professor of interpersonal dynamics at a Pheasant University due to family changes, to enter others. mediation in the program to bring these users back to the real world.
Everyone knows that the most valuable thing about American dramas, especially sci-fi American dramas, is the setting. At first glance, the background of this show is quite a bit like "Inception": it is all about entering other people's dreams and solving problems with reason in an unscrupulous world. Mickey Fisher's previous representative work selected by the screenwriter was "Legend" starring Halle Berry in 2014. He has performed well in female protagonists and sci-fi unit dramas, and his most proud skill is the horror element in the story. set up. In the virtual reality shown to us in the story, we hardly feel too much restraint by the cost factor, which is full of imagination and dangerous scenes. If you want me to say that the background of this show can at least achieve a passing grade or above, as long as you think of the gorgeous and eerie virtual reality scene and the contradictory impact of the daily perspective in cruel reality, you will imagine countless interesting scenarios, plus the appearance at the end of the first episode. The mysterious characters who show "a big game of chess" are more hopeful for the long-term development of the story.
However, unlike "Inception", in this unit drama we see more not "implantation" but "coaching". The protagonist here cannot be as dominant as Leonardo, and has to be honest with the guests. Lord, find the crux of others' hearts in the rules made by others. The biggest crux of what this show has uncovered is how people view reality? It's easy to say now, but when one day human beings really have the opportunity to escape from reality and return to the most beautiful dreamland, will this be beneficial or harmful to human beings? How to convince the other party that a fantasy out of reality is like a bird that cannot fly? These core issues are no different from all the suspense and reasoning dramas we have seen, but here this drama puts the core crux of literature in the coat of sci-fi fantasy to ease the serious discussion, and stimulates the senses at the same time. I scrutinized this question that could not be right or wrong.
In this drama, I must repeatedly mention my favorite Xiao Dachui, Sarah. In this drama, she still continues the independence and initiative of all her previous roles, she is beautiful and confident, and a little bit mentally ill. Such a character is sexy and cute, and I don't think any audience would reject such a heroine. What's different from the past is that this time her character can no longer use a gun to solve problems "chuchu", she has to use her brain, and she has to show the impact of the past nightmares on reality. She has never been seen in "Flame". And the large number of protagonists corresponding to her is always a bit strange, East Asian female boss, Indian technical man, black security uncle... I can't say anything wrong, it may be my own problem The role is a bit too "safe".
Obviously, the first episode of this show has some problems. For example, the narrative rhythm is out of control. For the first episode, too many information elements make the development of the story too chaotic. This is not a small problem, but I am willing to do it again. Give it a chance to watch two more episodes, after all, there is a fairly decent sci-fi setting and Xiao Dahui is too beautiful!
