Seeing the blessings of Stephen King and JJ, as well as the tweets of various public accounts, even if it is not a masterpiece, it will not be too bad.
With this mentality in mind, I watched episode 1 for the first time. Well... the production is very good, the soundtrack, atmosphere and suspense are all good, it looks like a good drama, but I am very confused about what type of drama this is? superpower? Devilish? mental illness?
Chasing up to episode 5 with this question in mind, I'm still digging a hole... The screenwriter has been secretive, and a little clue at a time can certainly make people want to pursue it, but there is no basic setting such as whether there are ghosts at all. It was revealed that there were only endless guesses about the identities of the two men, and it was very tiring to watch, so he suspended the follow-up and watched it together after the release.
After 10 episodes of the update, I also finished watching it, there is only one pit word... It's not bad, but I feel like I've been fooled by the screenwriter...
It turns out that the theme of the show is people's choice? The criminal can choose to blame the city, the old woman can choose whether she is sick or has superpowers, and the black male protagonist can also choose to believe that this is a science fiction story or a ghost story. Believe it or not, it is the gap between metaphysics and science...
The biggest problem comes from the ninth episode. This whole episode tells a sci-fi story of crossing parallel worlds from the perspective of the white male protagonist. I chose to lock up the white male protagonist as a demon. I would rather commit a crime than go through it... It's not good if I try it. What if I crossed it... Only evil capitalism believes that there are demons, and gave up a great opportunity to pass through. ...Such a choice left a lot of pits, and also made the last episode meaningless, and it was not a case trial, so why put stories from different angles...
What also feels pointless is the seventh episode, which tells the wonderful journey of a time traveler from the perspective of an old mother. Because of the memory confusion and loss of Alzheimer's disease, the old mother feels as if she can travel through time and examine the past, and she can choose to be a time traveler rather than a patient. But from an outsider's perspective, she was still in a daze, she couldn't change the reality, and she didn't find any truth in her memories. After she killed her lover by mistake, she still had to immerse herself in memories to escape reality. I really couldn't see any effect on the plot, except for the lack of an old policeman who seemed to be useful but was of no use.
In short, there are too many pits, too many doubts and no explanation. The screenwriter likes to design traps too much to attract people to jump into pits, and then slap the audience in the face in the next episode, which makes people feel pained and uncomfortable.
In the end, he was very confused as to whether his father had deceived the corpse...
