recently watched relatively high three new crime dramas-the type I liked before was not a crime drama. I have seen a little CM, but I can’t keep up with the cold and cool thinking. I have seen a bit of CSI, but it’s The movie channel is still the introduction version of CCTV, which is also boring.

But these three are very matched. First of all, it’s new and short. It’s too late to get bored with that mode (only mentalist is 23 episodes, and the other two are a bit of a miniseries). In terms of mode, lie to me tends to deal with it without mode. In the early stage There is still an obvious one-episode and two-case model, one heavy, one light, one detailed and one simple model. In the last few episodes, this situation was completely broken, and it was more flexible. In addition, the compact plot of lie to me is also very prominent. Although since the beginning of the broadcast, there have been endless talks about "Pure Fudge" and "Qian Lv Technology"-it only shows how popular it is in the country, from my point of view-I like it very much.

Mentalist is a completely different situation compared to LTM. It is very popular in the United States and very weak in China. Of course, most people who have watched it will say that Simon Baker's smile-this drama can be said to be completely successful in casting, and the characters are full of drama. , The chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists is not ordinary, and the supporting roles are very prominent. It can be described like this: this person's five senses are very common, but together they are just how beautiful they look.

The key point is Castle-a light-hearted crime drama. The setting is clear and the goal is clear. In view of its opening time and character plot settings, and considering the popularity of mentalist in the United States, I think it is a follow-up work. Of course, even this is not bad, just like I like cheese cake, as long as there is cheese, I like it.

Let’s talk about the unique place first. Compared with the previous two dramas, Castle is the heaviest form. Almost every episode begins with an "artistic" crime scene. The only exception is the ninth episode. Because that episode was not a murder case, naturally there was no crime scene—in addition, this episode had something to do with the main storyline, leading to Beckett's ex-boyfriend. It can be said that this unique beginning is a very important point that the castle is likable. Even if the modern audience is perverted, the more realistic scenes such as CSI and Bones, the more the corpses are shot, the more the focus becomes. This planning is quite successful. The pose of the corpse and the layout of the scene make every murderer become a performance art practitioner, and the soundtrack is super nice. It can be said to be a prominent one in American dramas. No matter how absent-minded the audience, they will notice that "music is really nice". And although the picture is beautiful to the disgusting (I have to mention that this show likes to film "Corneal turbidity", it can also be seen that American audiences have been CSI for many years, and forensic medicine is basically a popular science), but the soundtrack is not terrifying, sad, and terrifying. Lu Shu, on the contrary, contrasted with an understatement of joy, which is very special.

In terms of the facts of the case, Castle also pays great attention to the "exotic love" point. It has both the styles of the Bengue School and the Social School. The Bengue School is less, because there are no secret rooms, alibi, and so on. However, there are many twists in the case. Adhering to the ten-thousand-year truth of the Bengue school "the least like a criminal is a murderer", most of the plots are stronger than mentalist.

But why is my favorite still mentalist? Of course, Simon Baker's smile cannot be ignored. How can I say that if Castle is just following the trend, then the strengths of the mentalist it imitates are far less pleasing than its own advantages.

The most obvious imitation item is the setting of the male and female protagonists. Even the drama itself does not hesitate to say the word consultant. This is a fruitful claim that "Let's play this one too". As a crime writer, the male protagonist joins the murder team of the local police station as a consultant to participate in the investigation of the case-this is Castle; the male protagonist as an ex psychic joins the murder team of the local police bureau as a consultant to participate in the investigation of the case-this is mentalist. The male protagonist is a dedicated man with a flowery skin, who can talk, think, and is always charming, smart and nice, while the two groups of boss-tough policewomen are unsmiling on the surface and flirt with the male protagonist at any time. In the main storyline, mentalist is the heroine who has a tragic past, and castle is a heroine who has a tragic past. The family was murdered and became a headless case. For legal revenge, he embarked on a crime investigation road. To the final episode of the castle, the screenwriter added another comparison. Sex, it turns out that their relatives all died at the hands of serial killers-is it to pay tribute to CM?

But where is the difference? The difference is that mentalist has a chemical reaction, a super chemical reaction, but Castle does not. Of course, different people have different opinions. From my point of view, although Castle’s beckett may be more beautiful (at first sight, I don’t like her Latin iceberg beauty image), but Lisbon is more professional, Her calm and unsmiling lack of striving to achieve is completely self-contained. Beckett is not good at this point, and even has a naive LOLI appearance. On, the legs are still swinging from the ground, very over-aged (LOLI) Maybe the producer wants to reflect her "cute" side-it is a bit difficult for the older children; Lisbon is better than being small and exquisite, even if she is amused It is also very boss style, it is cute and not LOLI at all.

I have no objection to the male protagonists in the two episodes. Jane is very shiny, and the center of eternity. The success of mentalist lies in Jane's complexity. If you think he is nice (has all the conditions of a gentleman, and not only on the level of education, when I first saw it, I thought it was a sage biography. ), he also has a dark side-generally speaking, he is a low-key complementary color combination, like yellow with purple and orange with blue, appearance is always the opposite of substance, just like a group of people who talk too much to noisy, in essence Very quiet city, there are countless possibilities in him, fans can have sustenance and expectations in the absent-minded crime plot.

Castle? A cynical and cynical best-selling novelist, dazzling and stinky. The setting is too much like a steamed bun, it is a sunny steamed bun. But he obviously carried forward the bright side of Mantou-first of all, it was a successful man with gold, the ideal marriage partner-but the castle is here, at least in the existing episodes, he has no bitter hatred. The complexity is only reflected in "please be deceived by his dazzling appearance, inside is a deeply responsible father and son." It can only be said that the front is a mess, so it seems unburdened, very relaxed and entertaining. It seems to be telling a story, how did the heroine meet Mr. Right and Mr. Pefect.
