A particularly precious aspect of the show is its portrayal of Hannah. We were able to get close to a real imperfect victim, and when Hannah screamed in front of Bradley, recounting all the sins she had done for herself, I felt like I was screaming, and my heart ached with her. Even in a place where the sexual assault is still 108,000 miles away, we have encountered such moments head-on: being touched on the bus by someone, being touched casually by a male relative, a joke that was gently taken by a university professor... ...there comes a moment when you're in a state of stagnation and you're sure to yourself: Did what just happened really happen? Is it my fault that I feel sick? We are always judging our emotions, our anger, our sadness, and our weaknesses. It's like Hannah asked himself: So many people lost their jobs and fell apart because I didn't have the courage to say no? We are always asking: Am I thinking too much? In this world, women always have to think too much, but have nowhere to ask, nowhere to confirm. Hannah accepted the final offer in depression, which was particularly distressing: she used a promotion to confirm the pain, but also avoided it. Like walking in the desert, her feet sink deeper and deeper in the quicksand, she is looking for a stone, and when she finds it, she can finally lie down on it and rest, but this stone was handed to her by the murderer.
The funny thing is, I watched this show with my dad, and when Mitch defended himself in episodes 1 and 2, I said, "He really thinks he's been wronged." He said, "He's just been wronged." By the last episode, he thought thoughtfully: "Such things must happen often in life."
If there's one more criticism (or expectation) I have of this show, it's that it's too neat. The growth line of Alex's character awakening is so complete - it's a little too complete and too easy. Hannah's death is functional, stimulating and prompting female awakening, which is uncomfortable. Bradley once repented and blamed himself, but his discussion of journalistic ethics and the psychology of protecting victims was limited to scratches—Bradley was soon infected and swept away by the "ignition" of Alex's awakening. Even in a series produced by the entertainment industry, such a death of a victim would be too light and too hasty. I look forward to seeing more chaotic and complex stories. Everything does not have to be better, the protagonist does not have to wake up at the same time, and at the same time, the portrayal of the victims can be more sincere and open, and no longer the "idea that the main creator wants to express" ” or story service, but really focused on their own struggles.
PS The sexual tension between Jen and Reese in episode 6 when the wildfires are reported in LA is dead. (suddenly speaking orange)
