I want to say more than the first season, so don't take offense
Let's start with the name. After entering the modern society, the royal lawyer has little to do with the "royal", but if the lawyer's name has the suffix of QC (Royal Lawyer), it is the elite of the legal profession, the status has risen sharply, and there are many privileges. "The Big List". The British used to call "becoming a royal lawyer" "get silk", because at this time they had to wear silk robes when they went to court, and even the case files were tied up with ribbons.
This is the best legal drama I have seen so far. It restores the true portrayal of the British legal profession (although there are idealistic plots and exaggerated elements, but this is a TV series, not a documentary), and it is given in a limited space of six episodes in one season. We told a high-density, fast-paced, neat, and smooth narrative plot, which includes elements such as lawyers' life, social issues, office politics, male and female emotions, etc. It would be perfectly fine to shoot more than 20 episodes in an American drama. . And how did the Royal Solicitors do it?
The show revolves around junior barristers Martha and Clive vying to qualify as the Crown Attorney. The protagonists are all working in the "Shoe Lane" office (Shoe Lane). Each episode of the Royal Attorney is tied to a key lawsuit, every dark thread unfolds around this event, and every big and small thing happens during the lawsuit. So you can't see the protagonist entangled in his emotional problems and family problems when he is on vacation. Yes, the protagonists work, work, work in every episode! Sometimes I really feel bad for the heroine, she is an older leftover female workaholic.
The debut and introduction of new characters, the advancement of emotional lines, and the power struggle in the office are all carried out at work. You can feel the profound knowledge of the screenwriter's handling of the plot. They can cut out details for you in every corner to complete the necessary content, and it is completely unobtrusive and seamlessly connected with the main plot, so the audience always maintains interest and attention. force to receive high-density information.
The three protagonists in the play have distinct personalities. Martha is an idealist who protects justice. It is completely different from the "cheap" look of Japan's Gumeimen, and she is not "stupid" like Dai Zhenzhizi. In the play, Martha is in court. She always maintains her own heavy firepower and is the best lawyer in "Shoe Lane", so she is the most powerful to insist on "justice" and fight against the dark forces. However, society is often complicated and sinister. Martha won the lawsuit, but ruined the life of the client, and even had to defend the villain in her eyes for good deeds. As Martha's college classmate, ex-boyfriend, colleague and rival for QC, Clive is the most important man in Martha's life. But Clive is suave and suave, and is a "lovely" who can't control his lower body. Although he is middle-aged, he sometimes acts like a teenager, and he is unsteady in his work, and even wants to take advantage of it, fearing that only Martha can control him and make him more like a man. Billy, the secretary, is very slick and sophisticated in his work. He has a good opinion of Martha, even if Martha rejects the vital job opportunity he provided for justice, he will respect Martha's decision, but still weigh the overall situation and minimize the loss. Some of these three people stick to the bright and pure land, and some wander in the gray area. The three personalities conflict with each other, and they also collide violently with various forces, leading the audience to see the real society, which is both cruel and warm.
In this process, we can have a good experience of the operation and legal philosophy of the British judicial system, experience the busy and high-pressure legal industry, and understand the meaning of judicial justice, instead of the Japanese drama "Li Gou Hi" next door, which relies on funny jokes. The joke is sprinkled with chicken soup to interpret the profession of lawyers. Many people were attracted by lawyers just after watching Li Gouhai, and they chose law in college, which is worthy of being a promotional video for the lawyer industry. And if these people see the Royal Solicitors, will they stay away from the lawyers? From an objective point of view, the show is very educational.
