After reading a lot of comments, there must be both praise and criticism, and I agree with one person's statement: there is more than ambition, but insufficient strength. Of course, this is talking about the screenwriter, the actors have nothing to say, the performance is really in place.
As for the plot, I really have to say that the screenwriter has a really big brain, the Congress exploded, and a small person from the highest political center of the United States went online and became the President of the United States. To be honest, after watching the trailer, I told myself that I had decided on this drama, and The plot didn't disappoint me too much, it can really be described as "ups and downs". But I think this is also a kind of routine in suspense dramas. Ten minutes is a "burst point", just to keep the audience in front of the screen and wait for the next plot. So it's not surprising that there are some scenes that feel a little blunt and forced (I won't spoil them here), but when I watched it, I was thinking: I'm going, I'm coming again, this is not the end , This president is so real but he can't go on. This can only cause a little discomfort to watch, but after all, it is a political suspense drama, with layers of suspense emerging, coupled with a sense of reality and mystery unique to political dramas, the overall feeling is still okay, indicating that it is worth recommending .
But it must also be said that the screenwriter has more than ambition, but lacks strength. Admittedly, this can never be said to be the fault of the screenwriter, because the structure of the show is indeed too huge. Aside from other branch lines, regarding the explosion of the main line of Capitol Hill, it is inevitable that there will be many turmoils. Is it a foreign terrorist organization or a domestic treason? How to solve such a thing, just thinking about it, you will think: Oh my god, this is too big and difficult to solve. But in the play, this matter has been under investigation in an orderly manner, but it has gradually fallen into the subplot. The president has gradually begun to restore the national conditions after the disaster. Of course, this is a normal reaction. There is nothing to worry about the plot here. said. But when the FBI agent played by Maggie Q approached the truth step by step, the difficulties they encountered became more and more numerous, but the president and the others did not know it at all. Seeing this, they really wanted to say FUCK for Maggie Q, and they really worried about the IQ of the people in the White House. , and also worry about the screenwriter's IQ, because there are too many bugs in preventing the truth from being revealed and the president facing new challenges, and some crises appear stiff. At this point, the series has been updated to the 10th episode and entered the winter break. I think some of what I said above must not be called spray, because when I watch it, I really feel very exciting and worry about the characters. I don't know if this is too much, but This kind of viewing experience must also be what the screenwriter hopes.
Finally, let's talk about the political views embodied in this play. After all, it is a political drama. The idea of the new president here has always been very stable or conservative, and he has always maintained the concept of peace. But most of the governors and officials seem to be a copy of Trump or their ideas are very similar to Trump, racial discrimination, combating the Middle East, hegemonism, power politics! The ideas of the people in the White House are in stark contrast to those of these governors, so it is not difficult to see the political outlook of the show represented by the new president as the protagonist.
Therefore, this American drama with a big brain hole and a thrilling feeling is really worth watching. Although it may be said that the internal political situation in the United States has nothing to do with us, since it is a TV series, we don't have to take it seriously, not to mention that it is similar to current events...
