#MANIAC

Four and a half stars. A dream science fiction drama series combining retro and some brain-burning light comedies. The plot is so full and smooth that I can't believe this is a Netflix original series. The screenwriter’s brains are really big. Kerry Fuyong’s shooting approach is very interesting. It should be a tribute to a few movies and even political events, which can’t be said in detail. The reflections of reality in those dreams are absurd and reasonable. Sometimes I think it's a stream of consciousness, but it doesn't seem to be. In short, it's amazing to watch the 10 episodes. This is not the kind of drama that is very top-notch. It took me a long time to watch it. With the addition of characters, it becomes more and more exciting. Maybe because of dreams, I feel a little tired just watching it in front of the screen. , Even if the first two episodes are very boring, you have to look carefully and then always stop and think about what comes out. The acting skills of Sister Stone and Jonah Hill are nothing to say, they are not hysterical at all, and they are too comfortable to change the scene. It is recommended that other cast members of Netflix refer to their acting skills and those who think that Stone's acting skills are not good. Come take a look at this thank you. Mizuno Sonoa is amazing, with thick bangs glasses and a flat chested English accent. Doesn't the millennial sense come here? Generally speaking, it is about reconciliation with oneself, the story of healing trauma through the three stages of dreams, expressing some love and painful farewells, etc. Only by letting go of the shadow of the past can you accept your true future. (After reading it. The ending is so warm. I hope I can also get over the trauma of that six months earlier.)
