I wanted to say too much, it became fragments

Seeing the second episode, the main line has slowly become clear. I can imagine how this task force, who is not favored in the noisy basement and only seeks form, will get a little closer to the truth in the future. This kind of crime problem is indeed paradoxical and charming. Everyone knows it, and the police know it, but they can’t help it. The police and criminals follow their own unique rules for their own survival. Subtle balance.

There is a lot of black humor in the play, the gunshots of waste wood police officers in the basement, the sound of chaos entering during a meeting, and the little story at the beginning "This is America", which is meaningful and ridiculous. What's great is that these humor can show the helplessness of reality, not just adjust the atmosphere and increase the entertainment effect. In fact, this drama is very unpleasant to the audience. But I saw a trace of sad poetry in this black reality.

After watching the real detective and watching the line of fire continuously, is this world slowly losing me? But on the screen, I feel a stronger reality than before. The meticulous experience of the cruelty and beauty of life makes me love life more than ever. In reality, people are too rough with life. Why doesn't anyone add a film filter and go there with a more detailed and slower rhythm?

The bureaucratic game, the blurring of black and white boundaries and the deepening of the confrontation, the line of fire is getting better and better. S1E3
