I finished the new Netflix drama #亚森罗宾# in two days. The start is said to be 8.0, but it was still 7.9 when I watched it. As a TV series, the ratings are pretty good, and the reputation of Netflix's drama is fair.
Since the title of the play is "Athen Robin"*, it is hard not to think of "The Detective Sherlock" produced by the BBC. Similar to Shen Xia, this drama is also a re-deconstruction of the classic detective (the thief) image in the contemporary social context. It is adventurous, suspenseful, sometimes speaking up for justice, and sometimes arrogantly arrogant—it’s cool. This is in line with Netflix’s consistent tone.
The plot is quite exciting, although the Robin fans have basically guessed the direction of the plot~
It looks like a necklace stolen by a white French rich family, but it is actually a story of the black Count of Monte Cristo returning to avenge his father. At the same time, it naturally blends politically correct topics such as racial discrimination, public opinion, and freedom of the press, as well as political correctness that is too overkill. NS.
It's the feeling of the drama in the play, and it's a reversal plus a reversal.
At the beginning of the first episode, I thought that the protagonist Assan was a desperate little bastard, and he was desperately pursued by a debt collection before he went to the Louvre to steal the "Queen's Necklace"* which was exhibited.
Then there was the first reversal. This little bastard didn't want to steal the necklace because of debt collection; it was because he originally wanted to steal the necklace, so he specifically borrowed usury.
Then there was a second reversal. The male protagonist’s motive for stealing the necklace was not simply for money, but for revenge; the male protagonist’s father died of this necklace—the male protagonist’s father was sent to prison because of this necklace. Later he committed suicide in prison; the male protagonist's life trajectory has since changed. The necklace exhibited this time should have been stolen and has not yet been brought back to justice.
The third reversal seems to be that the loan shark intends to take advantage of the black, but in fact the male protagonist steals the dragon and turns the phoenix in exchange for the real necklace.
The fourth reversal of the protagonist was actually exposed in front of the owner's daughter. However, the two had a relationship twenty years ago, so the owner's daughter spontaneously kept a secret for the protagonist.
The second to fifth episodes are also the same way, the routine, the routine, the reverse, the reverse, and then the reverse.
For example, the male protagonist’s father left clues to tell the male protagonist Asang that he was framed by the hostess’s mistress;
The male protagonist Assan checked and found that his father might have been framed by the police that handled the case;
After a trial of the police officer, the male protagonist chose to believe that the police officer said "I'm investigating according to procedures";
However, through the smart speakers of the policeman’s home, the conspiracy between the policeman and the male owner of the victim of the theft was mastered...
For example, at the beginning of the first episode, the hero's father has been preparing for suicide in prison, although the suicide of the hero's father was not improved until the finale.
But I feel that the father of the male protagonist hanging himself should not be suicide, but the killer did it. Refer to the death method of a female reporter;
In the memory of the second episode, the protagonist went to the prison to visit his dad. When he was waiting to see his dad, the assassin happened to be escorted by the prison guards. At that time, he was given a close-up of his face—I think there is a metaphor;
Later, the female reporter was killed by a killer. When the body was found, she was hanged to death.
Although the handling in many places is a bit rough, the criminal methods and reasoning logic are not rigorous enough, and the police and villains are often portrayed stupidly and awkwardly in order to highlight the wise and intelligent and wise martial arts of the male protagonist Asang.
But the flaws are not concealed, the various settings are also very clever, and the tribute to the original work is also very deliberate.
For example, the poker card at the female reporter's house has a close-up of "Heart 7"* on the face of the card.
For example, when the male lead is in prison, the narration is the plot of "Athen Robin" in prison.
For example, the male protagonist chats with his wife and children on the train about "Qiyan City"* and "mysterious travelers"*.
For example, the male protagonist uses the code name "813"*.
Nevertheless, the original fan can only give 8.1 points, no more.
Over the past twenty years, the Yasen Robin I have been brainstorming, should be like this ↓

If the casting is the ones I nominated, I will score at least 9 points. Ha ha ha ha.
Generally speaking, this series is okay. The black male protagonist has subverted the Assen Robin in my mind too-although the male protagonist is the male protagonist of "Unreachable" and is known as the French national treasure actor Omar Sy.
According to the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, it can be regarded as tall, mighty, and Kong Wu powerful.
Although, how can I put it, my aesthetic of black actors really stays at the level of Will Smith and Obama. The original ecology will not work at all.
I am ashamed. I review. I try to improve.
At the same time, I have to admire that Netflix is amazing and can come back on its own. To say that there are any advantages of this drama that make the original fan really feel reasonable and unexpected, obviously lies in the setting of the characters.
Although the play is called "Athen Robin", Robin only appears in the lines, posters, and prop books.
In the novel, Yassen Robin is a famous French fictional grand thief/weird thief/gentleman detective who was active in the First World War.
The actor in the Netflix drama is a fan of Yasen Robin; his daily hobby is Cosplay Yasen Robin; he regards Yasen Robin as an idol; his acting style imitates Yasen Robin; the crime method is based on the novel "Assen Robin" The plot arrangement-he is not Yasen Robin, he just inherited Yasen Robin's mantle.
Therefore, the male protagonist can choose black actors.
