If there is no inexplicable emotional line, this is actually an excellent drama

"Uploading Freshmen" Why do foreign screenwriters like adding inexplicable emotional lines so much? The first season consists of ten episodes, each of which is thirty minutes long. Short, crisp, and fast-paced (first six episodes only), by Amazon. The level of the first few episodes can be called king bombing. They use fast editing methods to explain the future development of black technology. When you open your finger, the screen of the mobile phone will be suspended, and the new type of fully automatic and driverless car will be displayed. Very novel, but unfortunately, the brain hole is still not big enough. I prefer to see this show as a collection of Black Mirror stalks. Although it happened in the near future, printed food, curved screens, suspended screens, etc. have appeared together with things that are difficult to appear in more than ten years. People have a very strange sense of division, that is, the future technology seems to be very powerful, and it seems that it is not so powerful. Several propositions discussed in this play are very interesting: the body is dead, but the consciousness of the brain is uploaded to the cloud, are you still the original you? After uploading, all the expenses you consume in the virtual world must be borne by people in the real world, then you become the private property of that person. Uploading blurs the boundary between life and death, which in turn involves the so-called "I think, therefore I am" in philosophy, and the discussion of existence... The paradise uploaded after death, the Lake View Hotel, is actually a prison in disguise. Inside, you can't leave, you can't work, you only meet a fixed group of people, and after death, capitalists will cut leeks and sell goods. By living in such a virtual world, you gain true immortality. Nothing beautiful, nothing painful, just boring, eternal boring. And this kind of life, but only the rich can enjoy. For poor people to upload, they can only stay in the 2G area. There is only 2G traffic for a month, and it will be gone when it runs out. It tells us starkly that all beings are not equal after death, and there are still class contradictions. The main story at the beginning was well done. The accidental death of the male protagonist was uploaded. While constructing a worldview and discussing philosophy, a part-time private investigator discovered that the male protagonist was murdered and his girlfriend was also related to this. Funny and suspenseful. Unfortunately, after adding the emotional line between the male and female protagonists, it completely collapsed. Scum, both are scum. The male protagonist spends his girlfriend's money to flirt with the female protagonist. The female protagonist knows that the male protagonist has a girlfriend and is still close to him, so she cannot enter into this inexplicable relationship. The male protagonist doesn't really love Ingrid, but what does Ingrid want? She has money, looks, body, young and smart, but the male protagonist can't give her even the most basic respect. In the end, this silly girl has to upload it for the male protagonist. Don't give it to me for such a good girl! Scumbag! The heroine is also a scumbag, flirting with the black brother, completely treating him as a tool, and throwing it away after using it. What she did when she was dysfunctional under the male protagonist was really disgusting to me. There was no sense of proportion and no professional ethics. What kind of charm is there? In short, if there is no love line, it is worth eight points, and now, five point five, goodbye! It is recommended for people who like technology and do not have a real feeling for the plot. At least many of the stalks in the play are still very interesting.
