"unforgotten" is an unexpected and surprising drama. When I saw him in Bai Bo Nai, I was actually in a gamble mentality, so when I saw the first episode of the first season, the forensic doctor's remarks made me still I'm a little worried. It is said that there are dozens or hundreds of corpses that have been discovered. I sweat deeply for myself. Could it be that this is the subject of an undiscovered old crime? Can't make it up? Isn't this the scope of his own crime theme painting? How can there be so many eye-catching old cases?
Soon, I was slapped in the face by the following plot. Is the crime so old that there is no need to hold it accountable? Should police resources be wasted on such cases? Facing the doubts of colleagues and family members, DCI cassie's firmness and perseverance moved me at least - "No statute of limitation on murder" (murder has no statute of limitations), which is not only a professional compliance, but also a life. Awe!
The detail madman Cassie found the car keys on the deceased's body and then consulted one by one car dealers. Sometimes it was the moment of certainty that made her discover the deceased's diary and quickly locked the identity of the deceased. One was only seventeen years old. The black and white mixed-race jimmy also determined the time of the crime 39 years ago (1976). After that, Beth in the diary, Father Robert, Eric, frank and jo jo in the wheelchair will all appear.
(1) The suspects
Beth's husband manages a black football team, and Beth is like the "mother" of these black children. Even her husband praises her as gentle and watery, but no one would have thought that Beth was an extreme racist when she was young. Tattoos, personal attacks, robbery, imprisonment, maybe for a long time, even Beth himself thought in a trance that the memory was a matter of his previous life.
Father Robert is a very prestigious priest in his own parish. Even in the eyes of his family, he is a model worker, respected everywhere, and devoted to the believers. Who would have thought that such an amiable priest would always play a role in the finances of the parish. .
A friendly couple, the husband Eric is in a wheelchair, his wife Claire has some dementia, and two middle-aged sons. The family is discussing whether to move out of this place and send his parents to a nursing home with good conditions. Eric is unwilling to leave. , Matt's preoccupied, and les's confused.
Frank is undoubtedly the most prestigious of the five. He has money, power and titles. His wife is virtuous and his daughter is excellent. Even his son is a little disliked. Those "broken things" came the fastest. When he was young, he used to be a loan shark for a fenwick company. hit.
And jojo has become the most mysterious character, whether ta is a man or a woman, no one admits to knowing her until the call from Father Robert!
At this point, the audience may start to frantically struggle with the hypothetical proposition that the bad guy is always the bad guy and who is the real murderer! Everyone seems to be inseparable, whether they are committing crimes alone, or shielding each other!
(2) Life is not as easy as we imagine
With the intervention of the police and the discovery of the murder case, the peace of their lives began to be broken. Beth's confession made her husband fall into deep pain, the indifference of the black child Curtis, the garage was sprayed... A series of stimulations made Beth was caught off guard. The chaos once made her feel suffocated now. She didn't do anything right and became an island. Beth left home in despair!
Robert secretly took his wife's ancestral ring to make up for the shortfall. The theft he directed and acted was discovered, and his life began to go into chaos. The secret in his heart has not been revealed to his family. What kind of torment awaits him!
Frank's board didn't want him to influence them at this critical moment (stock falls, celebrity scandals), the prime minister spoke up, frank was dumped without hesitation, and he sent someone in a hot-headed way to "solve" the old master of the fenwick family, The matter is far from being as simple as he thought. Raising soup to stop boiling is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but what can be done?
And Claire ran away from home again. In the middle of the night, her son les brought her mother back from the door of a stranger's house. Eric and his wife were busy celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary. Eric looked full of spring breeze, and Claire's strange expression seemed to explode at any time!
And Jo jo became the foreshadowing of the priest behind.
The order of life is finally broken, and the secrets hidden behind time will surface one by one. However, the meaning of life is far from finding the real murderer!
(3) Never leave in the darkest hour, but inner demons can be broken
The meaning of the trial is to end the sin, but the sin in the heart can only accompany the host for a lifetime, a hotel in Willesden - Arlingham House brings them back to the darkest moment in life, the lost Beth and her violent boyfriend, Lost in her own life, so many years later, Beth herself can't justify her extreme self. Fortunately, her efforts paid off. Curtis, who loves his husband and treats him as her own, finally chooses to cherish and own the present. the beth, not the beth that exists in the mouth of the police.
The young priest robert had a relationship with the underage jo jo. The financial deficit for the past few decades has been subsidized to the illegitimate daughter Thea. Is it a wrong step? Robert's family, especially the daughters, are ashamed of his actions, even though this man is their father! The last communication with Thea, the understanding of the daughters, Father Robert finally got the understanding of the family!
Frank, who was still a gangster at the time, made his fortune by taking loan sharks, intimidating, beating, and being proficient in everything! He looked the most like the murderer who killed Jimmy, but he was just abandoned because he accidentally killed his old master. Even if his family could accept him, This is a scandal for the entire class, so a "manslaughter" ended itself, the upper class really kills without blood!
Eric is a deeply hidden homosexual with gloomy eyes and a story-like expression. He is the second most suspect after frank. No one can think of her claire, the most harmless person, but a devil! Insanity and dementia, living in a story that I made up for myself, maybe this is the only way to get rid of it! Son Les is unacceptable, and son Matt seems to have already understood it!
Finally, another main line between Cassie and his father in this season is also very life-like. Every family has a hard scripture to read. It has nothing to do with whether you are a law enforcement officer or not. The mother's derailment is the father's biggest demon! There was nothing Cassie could do to convince her father to let go, nor could she prevent her from finding the lover. So far, Cassie is no longer the high-ranking detective, but the ordinary people around us. Cassie's father also told us with actions that ordinary people also have their own perseverance!
The nostalgic thread of this season is long - 1970s, racism, homophobia, drug abuse, sexual liberation, crazy and bewildering, many characters - involving 7 families, and the writers have designed everyone to be very full, 39 In the middle of the year, they never got a moment of tranquility. Their faces have gone through the ravines of the world one by one, and they are full of the past. What life has given them is more of a kind of hardship. ! This is all human beings!
