Outstanding British drama not to be missed

This drama was completely directed at Yimei, but the harvest was too pleasant. I watched all 6 episodes in one breath, and the overall production level is not low today after 15 years!

Let’s talk about the lack first. Episodes 1 and 6 are actually unnecessary. I feel that the rhythm of episode 4 will be better; 2. The love triangle between Carl, Ann and Stephen is completely unnecessary. Removing this line does not affect the plot. The only role in shaping the characters is only The final "The report will have your name, the children will hate you, you and her will never be possible again"; 3. Make the police too incompetent and not so righteous, which makes people feel that the reporters are for justice or not As I said at the beginning, it's just for the news (of course, it has both, but it doesn't have to be highlighted in the way of black police).

Besides the advantages, 1. Needless to say, the acting skills of all the members are online. The reversal of the ending is a bit unexpected, and I personally accept it; 2. The soundtrack is very good, and the whole atmosphere is quite tense; Yes, there are ups and downs; 4. Several investigative reporters came out of the elevator and there was a rush. They are very journalistic. I am looking forward to such a series.

Finally, there are complaints and confessions. James McAvoy is really too good-looking, too good-looking, and too good-looking. I can't stop taking screenshots throughout the whole process, and he looks quite tall in this drama, and the windbreaker is super cool! The little brother in the seductive print shop sets the information, ah ah ah ah, I will tell you anything you want to ask, I deeply doubt that as a character who is out of line, it is of great use to put him in the middle of the poster. Generally speaking, in terms of acting skills, a role like a rich second generation who is a bit of a man and a woman, the character itself is not complicated, and in fact, there is little room for development. A seduction, a little flirtation in front of dad expecting affirmation when getting a job, and a little show-off from time to time, it all works great. Other than that, I really like Mr. Bill Nighy so much! He and Yimei's father and son are the cutest points of the whole film! Especially the old man is full of comedy, handsome and cute, there should be more father-son dramas! ! ! There are so many roles for Yimei, but not many have a father, and there is only one role of a normal father who guides him. Kelly's acting is also great! A Scottish accent is very cute, and the character's behavior and personality are exactly the same, and there is no logical flaw. The comrade who plays gay is really good at acting. He is timid, cowardly, and evasive, which is really annoying and loving.
