The overall design of collateral damage is similar to the movie Crash. The former is introduced by the murder case, which is directly or indirectly related to the case, and there are already different social phenomena and the living conditions of the characters. The latter is driven by the incident of a car crash. The development of the whole plot involves all parties involved. After watching Crash at first, I felt a sense of enlightenment, because the movie connects all the clues at the end, so that you can understand the connection between these people, plus the BGM Maybe Tomorrow, there is an indescribable feeling. And the general case and the ins and outs of the collateral damage can actually be clarified at the beginning of the third episode. Many hot topics are covered, including immigration issues (smuggling immigrants for profit, Iraqi immigrants pretending to be Syrian immigrants to get different treatment, different British parties and people's inconsistent attitudes towards immigration issues), religious beliefs, LGBT issues, military issues, workplace issues , the living problems of the bottom people in the UK, and so on. Probably all of them are involved, but they are not deeply involved. It just shows the existence of these problems, but there is no power that penetrates the hearts of the people. And it seems that many issues have not been clearly explained (it may also be the level of the audience), such as the story between the Vietnamese girl and the clergyman, the story between the congressman and his ex-wife, whether there have been any problems between male and female police officers, This leads to the mistrust between them, as well as the experience of the female police officer, other backgrounds of the big boss behind the scenes, and so on. Moreover, the process of solving the case by the female police officer is too natural, and the team composition of the smuggling company's four-member team is not very convincing.
Mulligan's voice is magnetic, the short hair is capable, and the whole character is very confident and determined. Bearded John Simm's What am I, Sherlock Holmes? It's humorous) The rest of the characters are just fine.
