The whole season is like a long, long reasoning movie. At the beginning, he said some indescribable words, showed inexplicable pictures, and walked step by step to the last episode. To be honest, there is a kind of slow down after the vicissitudes of life. The feeling of sighing, especially in such a setting, such a story happens.
What I love the most is the cyberpunk background setting, the isolation of time, and the burden of heavy memory (this kind of heavy weight may feel incomprehensible at first, but when the information is revealed step by step later, in retrospect, it will feel true quite heavy). I always imagine if I was Kovac, would I feel lost, what would I think when I encountered those things, what would I do.
In the first one or two episodes, the show tried its best to show its world setting, and we can get a glimpse of various social issues and some people's cognitive issues - and it is indeed an issue worth exploring in this world setting, But with the deepening of the plot, it did not dig these problems (damn, who said that cyberpunk has to explore the problems derived from its world setting), they have become a foil for the main line. As for the main line, I think it is the investigation of the Bancraft case, the emotional line with Ortega, and the love and killing with my sister after coming into contact with the truth.
The investigation of the Bancraft case is quite interesting, because at first I thought it was just a science fiction drama, but I didn't expect it to be a detective drama. After the reveal of the truth in the last episode, the performance of Bancraft and her wife is worth pondering. The characters suddenly become a lot more three-dimensional, and it is reasonable according to the previous foreshadowing. "We ruined each other, didn't we?" and hugged each other, well, meaningful. The only thing that feels a little out of the way is that people who have lived through hundreds of years, how can they be so fragile, either because they use too much force, or they lack something. In addition, people in the sky have always been powerful people. How can the power of the Bancraft family suddenly not work when the final truth is exposed in the media, which is a bit incomprehensible.
The emotional line with Ortega feels very unacceptable to me, Who is this person? ? Obviously, he just followed behind the protagonist inexplicably (because of Reich), and he didn't have any outstanding characteristics. He even felt that the characters were a little flat. Don't you forget that you still have Falconer in your heart from beginning to end, eh?
I feel a little pain in my heart because of the love and killing of my sister. The plot has been exaggerating how distorted my sister's love for my brother is. For example, in the line design, "I love you so much that I could eat you up." eat you up." (The last time I saw this Asian actor was in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", playing Sky's mother, and she was also a person who was paranoid to the point of becoming bad in that setting, It's like this) But what I can't understand is why they love each other so much, the elder brother didn't give the younger sister some emotional enlightenment and advice, just kept saying that what the younger sister did was unacceptable and wanted to stop the younger sister, why did the younger sister also Reluctant to listen to my brother's persuasion, I just kept thinking "What? My brother is actually on the opposite side of me for them?" I have to say that neither brother nor sister tried to touch each other's hearts. Of course, it is also possible that the younger sister has always just pretended to be herself in front of her brother, or that she has lost herself in these hundreds of years. Climb high. This is well confirmed in my sister's lines: "I have always listened to you, and now I want you to listen to me" (to the effect). But the last episode where the brother and sister hug each other after they die together shows that they really love each other. Sister, you love your brother so much, you have endured it for so many years, and you still care about this control and your own fame and fortune--
In short, it’s really hard to settle. I think it’s very likely that the screenwriter has planned to put such a scene in the last episode. It’s really exciting, but I have to say that in my opinion, the emotional line of The bedding isn't particularly perfect. (The image of Ortega banging on the wall and yelling really made me feel disturbed...)
In addition, I suddenly found out that Joel Kinnaman turned out to be the Robocop of 2014 RoboCop! w(ﾟДﾟ)w ah ah ah! And Bancroft's actor is also in SexEducation, and the two places give people a completely different feeling!
If you want to complain, you can actually find a lot. For example, those philosophical words at the beginning of those episodes always feel that something is missing, and there is a feeling of pretending to be deep. The excellent example in my mind is to refer to "The Great Group". There are also times when Kovac is really a bit of a middle schooler and makes people play. There are also some points where the plot is not smooth enough, such as how an AI can be easily killed by a machine that has never been explained, this AI can transmit human consciousness to the cloud when it is attacked, but cannot back up its own consciousness elsewhere ? And the questioner of "Are you a believer?" with a terrifying weapon, so many episodes are invincible, how can you be beaten all over the place when facing an unarmed Ortega in the end? (Even if your foot was slashed, do you dare to be a scumbag without a weapon? It's a bit unreasonable) In short, the final comeback is a bit blunt, and it gives the impression that the director forcibly gave the protagonist a halo.
Harm, anyway, I still like this show very much, its setting, its story, it's really moving, although there are some problems in the plot design, although I see that the second season is even better than the first season less. What can I do--let's watch and cherish it.
