Some slogans are not good to hear, but they are correct and work. Driven by the freshness, I unknowingly finished Netflix's new French drama "Robin" Lupin. It is indeed the tune of "The Detective Sherlock", a new interpretation of the old story-the protagonist Robin is an extremely influential "gentleman" character in French literature in the early twentieth century. He is good at disguising himself with a different identity. A detective who eliminates evil and promotes good, robbing the poor and helping the rich. In the original work, Robin also has a British opponent named Sherlock Holmes who fights with him, but Robin always wins slightly every time. In addition, because of the similarity of character setting and modeling, Rogue Robin is also considered to be the prototype of Kaito Kidd in Detective Conan.
"Robin" is a modern version of Robin's story, set in Paris. The first episode is "Stealing the Diamond Necklace at the Louvre." The audience followed the camera "wandering in the deserted Louvre", except for Beyoncé's MV, "The Da Vinci Code" 15 years ago, and "The Phantom of the Louvre" by Sophie Marceau 20 years ago. Outside of ", there are few such "luxury" in the series-the Louvre is relatively more enjoyable in terms of structure and collections, and it is quite wow with the exaggerated plot and special effects. In general, the French temperament that comes with "Robin" distinguishes it from the typical "Made in the United States" of the same type of film and television drama. Sometimes it is pleasant: whether it is the operating mechanism of the agency, the state of government staff, or the role before The relationship and interaction methods of the film are quite "European"-of course this does not mean that "automatically is better", but sometimes, getting rid of the American film formula is already a rare breath of fresh air. .
But when it comes to the plot, it is only quite satisfactory and lacks bright spots. Robin’s troubles and police investigations are two lines. The past flashback line and the current event line are well balanced in the interlaced narrative, but the actor Robin is really too lonely, the relationship and interaction with the main supporting role Tend to be simple and lack depth, and then there is no empathy. In hunting dramas such as "Kill Eve", the two protagonists come from the hunting side and the running side respectively, and the characters are full and full of tension. In contrast, in "Robin", the roles other than the male protagonist Robin are scattered with different power groups (family, friends, police, "bad guys"), and they all lack personality. Especially the villains, they are too weak in personality and behavior-the world of the rich is so boring, without the obsession, mind and charm of Moriarty in "Sherlock".
In addition, although the plot of "Robin" is compact, it lacks highlights in details (refer to a random episode of "Sherlock", such as Irene Adler's mobile phone prompt in the first episode of Season 2). In the shaping of the male protagonist's "Grand Thief Gentleman" side, some details can be used to add points, but it does not. In addition, as a viewer who has not read the "Robin" series of stories, I am not familiar with Robin's role background. First, I cannot judge the tribute to the original story to get a certain sense of satisfaction. I can only default to not, and second, I cannot give the protagonist. Anyone who has aura only thinks that he is more witty than charisma.
Generally speaking, it is "okay." There are currently five episodes, 50 minutes per episode, "You can't buy it and you can't be fooled." There is also a big suspense at the end. I'm still a little interested in continuing. At this moment, I miss the first and second seasons of "Detective Sherlock".
