I have never seen the protagonist in a detective drama so fond of personal ideas, hate views, and especially like to secretly instill values.
I never wanted to care about ethics in a detective drama, because this is a detective drama! ! ! !
But the whole is like an educational film that the screenwriter wants to guide everyone to make a judgment. If they haven't formed their own values, they will just follow the detective and be taken away...
In general detective dramas, the whole process of detectives is to give people a tolerant and objective state to look at the case. No matter how terrible the case is or how distorted human nature is, at most the last one or two minutes will show the inner values of the detective and show a little bit of his opinion on the murderer. Criticisms, etc., this situation does not occur very often.
Refer to Poirot, Marple, etc., will not appear, at the beginning, ah this passer-by A really hates me and I despise you, passer-by B, your behavior is very wrong, after your values are wrong, I will represent justice and punish you! This is manifested with a very obvious personal thought.
This drama is not at all, at least not the first episode, the first episode is too bad.
The first time was in the first episode, I was super disgusted by the protagonist...
The male protagonist's preference for a neurotic second daughter with epilepsy in a family, and he disagrees with the father's role in researching nuclear weapons and the eldest daughter who is basically blameless. That kind of malice is really disgusting if you don't see half of it, and want to rush in. The kind of unappetizing TV beats the male protagonist...
Is this some kind of neurological political correctness?
Do screenwriters have any misconceptions about adults with limited civil capacity? The detective got excited because of her sex, and felt that the second daughter was so pitiful. Although she couldn't take care of herself because of epilepsy, why not let her take care of her son? Grandfather and eldest sister deprived her of custody are not good people! ! She's almost healed, and so on, is the law on the protection of minors so loose abroad? The plot of the disgusting little third brother-in-law is also reasonable and dreamy in the eyes of the detective, after all, the second daughter is so pitiful...
On the contrary, the detective is full of malice towards the eldest daughter and father who did nothing wrong.
The eldest daughter expresses in one sentence that she does not like her husband as much as she likes him. After her husband dies, it is estimated that she will be able to be with his best friend. Then there is the desire to take care of the child born by her husband and sister... Although she does not know the background of the child...
And my father is estimated to be studying nuclear bombs, and he has to go to the United States. Detective: You devil! ! ...so? The screenwriter is definitely a pacifist. Please, how many people would have died if there were no nuclear bombs? ? ? Can we look at the problem dialectically? The screenwriter obviously doesn't want the audience to look at the problem dialectically.
From the beginning to the end, the male protagonist feels good about himself, his temperament and feeling are really uncomfortable.
When the last episode of the male protagonist threatened the family's grandfather, it was almost in progress. The tone was full of malice, viciousness, and triumph... It was too physiologically uncomfortable.
I really wouldn't be wasting my time here if I hadn't really wanted to watch detective dramas...
