A bomb dropped in a society of acquaintances

A fairly slow-paced show, but easy to watch. People living in big cities probably long for and have a hard time imagining the kind of "well-known" acquaintance society in small towns. The first episode of this drama perfectly demonstrated this and attracted people to watch it. This show is really a less obvious "detective show", and its focus is on the social character of the town, each character in it, and what they hide. Halfway through, I suddenly realized that this is actually a case-solving drama, but compared to the idealized and romanticized Shen Xia, it is simply too realistic. However, the powerlessness of the detective and the Miller police officer in solving the case and the lack of human nature. Facing the dark helplessness is the real feeling of these ordinary people. As an outsider, the detective "airborne" into this acquaintance society, a case and the detective's way of investigating the case, assuming everyone is guilty (it feels like Miller might not do this? "Doubt" was complained by the inspector) and turned the town upside down, many people's long-hidden secrets were ruthlessly exposed, and many long-hidden conflicts broke out in a concentrated manner. Danny's death was the trigger that set off the entire town and never returned. If there is a downside, it is probably that the final suspect's surrender of the case is too hasty, which may make some viewers who are more concerned about the result think it is a waste of emotion. ps Tucao: DT finally doesn't have to act with a shrill voice here hahahahaha, otherwise it will be like a doctor in everything, and it will be difficult to break through. And Thirteenth Aunt's actors are really too malleable!
