At the beginning, I felt that there was a strange tone. There was no suspense to solve the case, and there was no exaggeration of the murder. Instead, the story was told from the perspective of an FBI agent. The end of each episode feels unfinished, but there is no clear hanger so you can't wait to watch the next episode to answer, this is an experience I haven't seen in other American dramas, even the previous HBO's The Night of Although it includes All social phenomena can also be slowly unfolded through a murder case. After watching the next few episodes, I can gradually understand the director's general intention, because the so-called solving a case is just the work of an FBI agent, and the perverted murderer is just a mirror for the protagonist to discover himself.
Also out of place is the image of Agent Holden, especially his voice, neutral, tentative, but firm, I have always doubted whether the actor's choice was reasonable. After seeing it, I felt that the shaping of this image is really wonderful, a confident agent, but the style is completely different from the traditional detective, obviously a boy who has not grown up but wants to understand human nature, Jonathan Groff is really appropriate.
In fact, there are several things about the male role that make me feel more outstanding. The outstanding part of Agent Bill is precisely that he is common, and it is even more difficult to play a typical role. With a job that requires travel, a standard imperfect family, his state of being without passion for life and not breaking it is just right, just like the vast majority of middle-aged men.
The heroine's role is the most bizarre, even more than those interviewed murderers, because murderers like to talk to people, and the heroine hides herself. He seems to be able to manipulate men, but he is still in a trance.
The female professor is really beautiful, very composed, strong in business, like bringing two big boys, but after all, she is not enough to be lonely. The shots of feeding the cat and eating takeaway are very realistic.
At the end of the day, everyone is looking for their own sense of security. Agent Bill needs to constantly leave the house to play golf and then go home, so as to have a sense of security; the heroine needs to control the man without being controlled by the man, so as to have a sense of security ;What a female professor needs is a one-way need to be needed, so that you can feel safe; and Agent Holden is the most complicated, he needs the trust of the murderer, the respect of his colleagues, and he needs to let sexual perverts help him enlighten himself, and he needs to understand why he Being attracted to your girlfriend makes you feel safe.
The first season talked about the family background of a lot of murderers, and also talked about a lot of murderer families who solved cases in the middle. The lives of several supporting characters have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and the family growth of the male protagonist has basically not touched. I hope next season I can continue to talk about it, although there is no clear suspense, but it does not prevent it from becoming an extremely anticipated second season.
