The first season of "Swamp Thing" ended last Saturday. I finally watched the last two episodes last night. After watching the finale, my mood was broken ...
Hmm... it's just a mess, a mess!
Many people's impressions of "Swamp Monster" may still be "cut" shortly after the broadcast and in early June . At that time, the show just aired an episode and gained quite a good reputation. Afterwards, producer Wen Ziren also complained about Warner. Saying "I don't know, and I don't really understand why Swamp Thing got cut..."
With this "regret" impression, I have been following this drama for the past two months. In fact, when I first started watching it, I couldn't say how much I liked "Swamp Thing", because horror, thriller, and suspense works are not my thing, but at least it's passable...
However, in the middle and late stages, the show has become more and more boring. If it wasn't for my habit of "don't just abandon the pit once it's opened", maybe it really won't make it to the finale.
Originally, I wanted to write a slightly longer review to talk about how many problems "Swamp Monster" has, but I really don't want to be in a bad mood again, so I'll just say a few words.
The setting and atmosphere of "Swamp Monster" at the beginning are still quite "magical drama": a dark and mysterious swamp town, half-covered historical secrets, the strange power of science mixed with metaphysics, plus each other's thoughts The characters and branch lines together pave a complicated and indistinguishable situation and a dramatic stage.
However, the show did not have the ability to tell the story well, and from the mid-term, "Swamp Monster" increasingly showed signs of "lack of strength" and "loss of direction" -
There is nothing new in suspense, there are gaps in the narrative, there is no good interaction between the main and sub-plots, and some parts are not written at all... The main characters lack motivation and will, even if they are not very convincing (especially the heroine Abby) , What's more fatal is that there are no really interesting and attractive characters or elements in the play, and the whole process is in a kind of overt or dark depression, unless you really like this kind of subject matter, otherwise You look at it and you don't know what you're looking at.
Especially the finale, which made the originally not-so-splendid drama collapse completely. It has an empty "looks good" shelf. In fact, it was full of stumps and meat. "Swamp Monster" was cut by Warner. Not wrong at all .
Don't use reasons such as insufficient funds to explain it. Judging from the content of the current 10 episodes, even if it is made into 13 episodes as originally planned, there will be no qualitative changes. "Because the problem of the script is not welcomed by the broadcaster." And the result is not renewed , in my opinion is completely correct.
A person with a good temper like me can't help but want to scold the street and waste time after watching the show... It can be said that this is the worst American drama I've watched this year, better than the unfinished "Game of Thrones" And make me unhappy.
If you've watched Swamp Thing, maybe we have the same pain;
If you've watched a few episodes of Swamp Thing, I suggest you stop watching;
If you haven't watched "Swamp Monster", then congratulations, I have arranged this mine for you, and you don't have to jump in this pit.
Fortunately, the fourth season of "Missionary" returns this week, and you can use this show to "rejoice", and there will be the second season of "Psychological Detective" next weekend, otherwise these two days will be really depressed...
That's it, see you.
