Watching the whole drama, I have two thoughts: Politics is like a quagmire. Once you get in, you don't want to come out cleanly. Reporters are sometimes annoying, but it's really not good without them.
Once you learn a little politics, you no longer have any illusions about politics. No matter what the system is or who is in power, the essence of their operation is the same - all those with vested interests do everything possible to maintain their vested interests and gain more interests. The only difference is whether the form is fair or not. In this regard, the show is quite revealing.
As far as news is concerned, it also reveals the two sides of this group of journalists. They have a keen sense of smell, and sometimes they may open up some scars that others don't want to open - but it is because they open all the scars that many things come to people's eyes. And without commenting on their work ethic, just the fact that they let things unfold, they've got credit. What's more, in this drama, reporters are even more amazing than the police - when the group of people walks around the office in a dashing manner, just like Xu Wenqiang on the beach, you will find that the reporters are much cuter than the police.
Perhaps, too much suspense has become a flaw. Every episode is a climax, so there seems to be no climax. When I saw the end, I just thought, why is there still suspense... When will it end... Big Boss, come out quickly, why haven't you come out yet, it's really catchy!
But watching British dramas is a pretty safe bet - you'll rarely come across anything particularly disappointing.
