The competition in American dramas is now intensifying.
HBO has been shooting large-scale series one after another, and Netflix has almost all high-quality works.
And Amazon has created new genre series time and time again .
Such as "London Life" and the anti-superhero theme "Black Pickets" which was very popular some time ago.
Recently, Amazon has released a new dark theme work.
"Carnival Murder"
The background is set as a magical world where humans and elves live together .
Expose and satirize the current social system and the ugliness of class.
The content of the story involves: love, power struggle, cases, horror, magic and other aspects.
The characters are: elves, humans, goat heads, sagittarius...
Just looking at these elements can be called epic .
The male protagonist who starred in this play is "The Elf Prince" Orlando Bloom.
He plays the role of a human policeman with a heart-wrenching face.
The heroine is played by Carla Delevingne, a supermodel born. She is an elf with a pair of smart eyes.
The beauty of the two people matches the same face, which brings a touching interracial love affair in this drama.
Of course, some large-scale dramas are indispensable .
Those who were standing and lying down unlocked the suspension in the air, and the old man who was watching blushed.
Especially the "communication" between humans and elves was eye-opening.
In addition to flying in the sky, there are also elves whose wings glow when they are combined with humans .
Such a setting really makes Mi Shu admire the screenwriter's brains.
In addition, the pictures and shots of this show are very cinematic.
The story of "Carnival Homicide" takes place in a similar Victorian period.
At that time, the industrial revolution had just reached its peak.
Civilization and barbarism are still flooding each other in the city.
So you will see some violent and bloody pictures.
This drama creates a scene that has both a sense of history and beauty . Whether it is the hometown of the elves or the city, everything is beautiful.
In a chaotic era, a struggle and resistance about rights and homicides were launched.
At the beginning of the story, the hometown of the elf hostess Vinnie is going through a massacre.
She finally arranged for everyone to get on a boat to go to Berg, but there was a sea breeze halfway through, and all the people on the boat died except her.
Winnie came to Berg to find an elf friend.
This friend lives on Burg’s Carnival Street , a refuge for the elves.
There is a very abrupt little braid behind Winnie , which is a sign of "widow". She once fell in love with a human man named Philo .
However, in the battle, sacrificed.
The first episode explained that there was a misunderstanding between the two people, because Philo was not dead and still served as a policeman in Berg.
There have been several murders in Berg recently, and the victims are all "Pixar"-what humans call elves.
The other police here did not take Pixar's death seriously, only Philo would really help them.
Philo kept visiting the victim's home and asked the survivor about the murderer's face and characteristics.
Finally let him lock onto a human in uniform.
Here, the shipwreck Winnie and the group were washed up on the shore of Burg City.
The only survivor, Wei Ni, was called to work as a maid at home by the ship’s owner, a human from the upper class, because she had to serve humanity for two years .
She looked for an opportunity and slipped out at night, and went to Carnival Street to meet the Elf friends who were making a living in a brothel.
In the conversation between the two of them, it turned out that Philo was not dead.
Angrily, she cut off the braids on her head, carried the knife and went to his house.
There is as much love as there is hate , and even if the knife is on the neck, there is no way to deal with it.
And Philo finally caught the murderer of Pixar.
The two of them went through a process of flying over the wall, and you ran and I chased them.
The murderer finally got nowhere.
He said something unintelligible to Philo, then jumped down and committed suicide .
The murderer died, but the murder case did not end.
One day late at night, an elf was picking up something on the beach, and suddenly heard a series of weird calls, and walked over to see a huge monster.
Before he could fly away, he was caught by the monster and dragged in.
The body was found the next day.
The state of death was extremely cruel, and he was smashed , and the picture fan could only submit a code.
All this seems to just confirm what the murderer who committed suicide said before:
Where you don’t know, the devil has quietly touched your nose...
Facing the death of a Pixar, the human police were not only indifferent, but even unwilling to let a forensic doctor identify it, just wanting to get rid of it.
This prejudice is deeply ingrained in this world.
In the human court, the discussion about whether the elves should be expelled from the city continues.
They look down on non-human races, thinking they are low, dirty , and messing up the city...
However, behind the scenes, the elven girl was tricked into bed by rhetoric, and she often patronized the brothel in Carnival Avenue.
Shameless, ugly, sinful.
This is the status quo of this world, there are crises hidden everywhere...
This drama has a setting of alien creatures and multiple narrative branches.
But after the broadcast, the word-of-mouth is very general, not as high as expected.
The huge background of the story, but the story is not well narrated, and some places are simply mentioned, and there is no follow-up.
But Amazon has already ordered the second part of this drama, and the first part is more like a trailer.
The second season may be the start of a wonderful story.
Friends who are chasing this show, Uncle Mi recommends that you stay through three episodes, and the subsequent expansion will be a bit interesting.
This new type of drama is still worth trying.
