[When this article is updated, watch until the second episode of the full play]
The crime dramas on the public channel, such as NCIS, have entered their 17th season this year, and are more durable than the old-fashioned dog-blood romance doctor-patient drama Grey's Anatomy. The performance of new dramas is often dull, and it is easy to fold in the first two seasons. After all, there are already many classics and it is often difficult to break through.
This year, FOX has a "Prodigal Son Detective", which is quite satisfactory in terms of performance.
The basic setting of the show is that the son of a "well-known" serial killer grows up and becomes an excellent profiler. Because of his bold style, he has to leave the FBI and return to his hometown of big city New York, and instead works for the role he has known since childhood. under the command of the sheriff. Dad didn't completely disappear, and while serving his sentence, he often came in to give some key clues to solving the case.
Keeping the progress of one episode and one case in progress resulted in a lot of thunder and little rain. Two episodes have been released so far, and the case was once a battle, whether it was the first episode imitating the four-game killing streak of the protagonist Dad's work. In the second episode, two snakes jumped out of the corpse (the style is quite similar to the third season of American horror), the beginning is still attractive, but it ends quickly after entering the detection.
The case is often anticlimactic, and the main focus is the father-son relationship and the hero's personal charm.
In terms of the male protagonist's personal charm, the protagonist suffered from the impact of "Dad is a murderous serial killer" at a young age. He has sleep disorders all the year round, and needs a full set of handcuffs and braces to fall asleep. He also takes medicine for a long time and sees a psychiatrist.
Now that he is like this, he can still become an independent profiler, and according to the style of crime dramas, he can be very good at any position, really... strong-willed, young talent haha.
The actor who plays the leading role is Tom Payne, who has played "Jesus" in "The Walking Dead" and has a good appearance. So much so that some friends said that no matter what the plot turns out, they can keep watching for the male protagonist.
Of course, there are still many viewers of crime dramas who don't care about appearance and focus on watching the plot. The role of the male protagonist is sometimes a bit "pretentious", insisting on suits and split ends. Although it can be understood that the mental state is not good all the time, the dark history caused by the father has too much influence, and it is still judged as greasy by some friends.
As for the father-son relationship, when the plot is not very powerful, it is difficult to say that it is attractive enough to continue watching the show.
Before the incident, Dad was a doctor and had a decent social status. Judging from the state after many years, he was somewhat insane. There is a kind of vigor that insists on keeping in touch with his son for training, hoping that he will inherit his mantle in the future.
After all, the son's way of solving the case is to insist on imagining himself as a murderer, which also makes people always worry that he is suspected of going crazy.
In fact, Dad should be a very interesting character, but with the current progress, it is not very attractive. The main driving force for maintaining attention still comes from the love for the actors. The actor who plays Dad is Mike Sheen. He has played a variety of roles, including movies and TV series. He is a good actor who can "play anything". In terms of drama series, he has performed "Sex Master" for four seasons, and this year there is another work "Good Omen", which has a better reputation than "The Prodigal Son".
It was the sheriff and his teammates who treated him like a son who prevented his son from developing into the second generation of killers. Of course, the sheriff was more trustworthy when he saved his life many years ago. New colleagues have watched him, in order to save people, "first cut off the other party's hand and then help the other party to find a way to first aid", and his emotions still need to be cultivated.
Other character relationships include the hero's mother and sister. The mother is a little more controlling, and the younger sister is a long-term murder reporter (and probably other things). From the details, my mother is also a person with a story. The current question is whether my mother was involved in the murders back then, and what did the male protagonist who was drugged by his father see.
The main flaw of the show "The Prodigal Son" is that it really reminds people of Hannibal, but at the same time, it makes people feel that the level is not comparable. Needless to say, Uncle Ba's personal charm, if you can't surpass it, it's easy to fall into the street...
Friends who really like crime themes and new dramas, you can consider whether to watch it or not.
Welcome to pay attention to the 57-line self-media bandit drama, a certain bandit will accompany you to ridicule and complain~
