"Mason Detective" is a good show, slow-moving, humanistic ambition and completion are worthy of the HBO brand, the more I look down, the more I feel that her quality is excellent.
This show has a lot of cultural barriers for Chinese audiences. After all, it is about Los Angeles in the 1930s, and we don't know much about the real history from TV dramas. Our TV series has been castrated for a long time, but American TV series continues to He created works that tried to let future generations understand the historical ambition of American society in the 1930s, and the creator's literary ability can also be seen in the shaping of characters.
Through the case analysis of social problems at a stage, social contradictions of different classes, and the ability to present such art. Our domestic crime dramas are quite less socially realistic, and they don’t write history and cold cases. There is a big gap between them and American dramas. The structure of this drama is different from the previous crime dramas such as "True Detective" and "Frozen". Their creations always try to pursue different creations, rather than copying the previous success. Each series of "True Detective" series is different, they are all period dramas, and the atmosphere of the times is different. The overall texture of the play "Mason Detective" has the atmosphere of film noir, and the character setting is also very similar to film noir. A down-and-out private detective is involved in a case. , until the end, there is no punishment for the mastermind behind the scenes, the real villain. Through this play, the audience can see the judicial system in Los Angeles at that time, the darkness of the police, the state of the public security law and the state of the public security, and also see the determination of human nature to seek the truth and pursue justice in the darkness.
Technically, the first three episodes of this play are very bland, with too many leading characters, and they are all calm and uninteresting. The protagonist and his private life are also very ugly, especially the criminal in the third episode. It's all out, the suspense is gone, what will the audience see later? The feature of this play is precisely that after watching three episodes, the fourth episode is getting better and more exciting; the people behind the case surfaced, the police detective became a lawyer, defended the innocent, found the facts, but It can't be proven that this storyline itself draws a line from other dramas, and she is different.
The disadvantage is that the character line of the nun in it is relatively separate from the overall plot, and the Chinese audience cannot feel the cultural atmosphere of brainwashing, like a cult organization. The social criticism ambition of this play is also in this line, but this line has nothing to do with the whole story in terms of plot, and it is not good-looking.
The court trial scene in the last episode is really exciting. It is a scene where the protagonist Mason shines. I thought it was a cool drama, but it was not. If Mason is a little more handsome, maybe there will be more Chinese audiences who like to watch it?
