In the second edition, many changes have been made to the articles in the first edition.

As a TGW derivative drama, TGF inevitably makes many characters that are loved or hated by the audience in TGW appear in TGF in order to attract the audience. This is good and bad: on the one hand, TGF attracts a lot of audiences who like TGW, and has a lot of fun and memories, but on the other hand, it exposes a shortcoming of TGF, that is, TGF has almost no or very few unique roles of its own.

Readers may say here: Are you making trouble without reason? Aren't Maia, Adrian, barbara new characters? Yes, new characters but a familiar plot. Adrian&barbara and Diane&will Maia are like young Alicia. There are also Adrian & barbara joint tactics against the founders, against mike's jury tactics, and so on.

You might ask: do you hate TGW? If you don't hate why TGW can't have a similar plot in TGF, it's a tribute, you know? I like TGW, just because I like it, I will watch its derivative dramas. I also like the characters that appear in these TGW, including the cheap mike, the red-haired lawyer who seems to exist like a bug, and the judges and clients of various personalities. One or two places are called tribute, but too many are not, although it is the same screenwriter.

And the richness of the story. Of course it depends on the number of episodes. The first season of TGW has twenty-three episodes, while the first season of TGF has only ten episodes. But you think about the first season, what's the impressive case? There doesn't seem to be much.

I saw some people say: Is it annoying to hack Trump often?

My answer: Please watch the entire show. It not only blacks Trump, but also blacks the government, jury, freedom of speech, etc. It also blacks itself. Isn’t the story of the Rindell family the worst thing about the white middle class? How ironic!

So author, don't you like TGF? Or do you think it is worth recommending?

Like, like the story, TGF is still worth recommending, otherwise why would I give four stars, but I think it can be better.

Expectations for the next season

1. Enrich the stories of the three protagonists. Lucca's story, I haven't watched Lucca's season in TGW, I hope to enrich this role (besides the portrayal of love scenes), compared to Diane and Maia, her character is not clear enough; Maia's story, it took a whole season To pave the way for the story of their family, I hope that the second season can reflect the changes of Maia, not blackening, but growth.

2. Get rid of TGW, more interesting or difficult original characters, richer plots;

3. There are no criminal cases in TGF in the first season, I hope there will be different types of cases;

4. Seeing that TGW has been complaining about people (I found that many people think so too), none of the resident characters' romances are smooth, or they are triangular or derailed. Anyway, none of them are complete, and the rare and sweet husband Diane is also derailed. , Lucca and Colin perfectly explained what it means to love each other and kill each other. Finally, a sweet couple (although they have few roles) Maia & Amy appeared. As of the first season, Maia is the resident character with the sweetest relationship, please be sure to break this curse (serious expression) ).
