I haven't chased a new drama for a long time. I wanted to watch one episode before going to bed, but after watching 7 episodes in one go, I started to feel sad. After watching the next episode, I will have to wait another year.
A very peculiar drama, realistic mood, absurd plot, humorous details, in line with HBO's usual black undertones, but it is different from various movies I have seen in the past. In the similarities, I thought of "Ice and Blood Storm", "Breaking Bad", "Silicon Valley" and a somewhat old movie "The Boss Standing Aside", but there was a breakthrough in the protagonist's shaping.
In essence, Barry is sensitive, introverted, follows traditional values and wants to please everyone, but such a person has mastered powerful killing skills.
After being discharged from the army, he was pulled into the gang by his unreliable friend and became a killer. He lived a muddle-headed life, but still maintained a certain bottom line in his heart. I killed all bad guys. Until a trip to Los Angeles, I entered an acting class by accident and got into close contact with the target person. Of course, the most important thing is a girl. Why is it a girl and not a woman? Because at this time, Barry is indeed a psychological level. The child, from the army to the assassin career, is always accepting arrangements. He has never thought about what he wants or made any decisions. It is difficult to regard him as a mature individual.
A boy finds his dream, always because of a girl.
Here he began to doubt, began to have his own thoughts, for the first time he realized that he might not be a bad guy, and for the first time he saw the target character's father crying bitterly.
In the latest episode 7, it was finally clear that, driven by his own will, he broke through that bottom line. For his own safety, he killed his comrades, not just his comrades, but also the person who just saved his life. This is Barry’s dream. The model of life, a good person in the typical sense, helps veterans integrate into society, treats others with humility, a good husband, and a good father.
In the play, Barry was on the verge of collapse, but when his acting skills were affirmed by the goddess, he stood alone on the stage, with a dazed and enlightened look on his face. Do you want the emotions on the stage to be supplied by killing people? I don’t know where the next episode will go.
It was beyond my expectation that he would kill his comrade-in-arms. I did not expect the protagonist to go to this position. When Lao Bai allowed Jessica Jones to die, he expected that Lao Bai would have a good end and saw Barry shoot. At that time, the same feeling struck, it is difficult to imagine how to make such a protagonist have a happy ending. I also want to know what everyone thinks of this plot.
