Although the people are very good-looking, the drama has many regrets

General comment: If you like Dou Sen unconditionally, this drama is very suitable; if you want to watch the thrilling spy war drama, it is recommended to take a detour. The performance of the actors and the production of the scenes are pretty good, and Uncle Hugh is very good. The biggest trough and fault lies in the plot. The following is the impression of each episode, in reverse order, with spoilers.
The sixth episode fell after the peak of the fifth episode. The luck and IQ of the pros and cons once again widened the distance.
How can the fifth episode of the spy war drama not be abused! The front is not enough torture, it is too smooth, so it is not good. In this episode, Roper finally got back a round, and the plot is tense and suspenseful! The only shortcoming is that Corky walked too easily.
The fourth episode After watching the fourth episode, I originally felt that this drama was just like that, and there is nothing to comment on. Later, it was discovered that the popular scenes of this episode caused a lot of repercussions. After thinking about it, I feel that the director still intends to maximize the commercial value of Dou Sen. I explained why I didn't make a movie but made a TV series, saying that it was because there was too much content, and the two-hour movie couldn't fit. Now let’s watch this 6-episode TV series, which is full of unnecessary content. In the second episode of Pine’s undercover crime record, there’s no need to film it. In this episode, Corky’s mischief is also a bit too much. There is also the section where the tailor measures Pine’s clothes. It can be done in a second. Dou Sen's proud measurements are reported to be satisfied, right?
The third episode. Every woman around the "bad guy" in this show has a sense of justice and is the source of leaks. Being undercover around the big arms dealers seems to be much better than the Hong Kong underworld in Infernal Affairs.
The second episode. People are still pretty. There is no Pine in the front section. When he slammed the thick line, I felt the whole screen lit up!
The female boss Burr played well. Uncle Hugh played very relaxed, really old and spicy, and freely swaying. It’s not easy to play the role of Seng Ge, so keep on working hard.
The play is still not so satisfying. The plot unfolds a bit slowly. At this speed, 6 episodes won't be able to shoot the ending, and 10 episodes are almost the same.
The first episode. Likes: 1. Title. 2. Shaking Sen's face. The whole process is suitable for licking the screen. Personally, I like the second half when I play in the hotel of ZERMATT. 3. ZERMATT snow mountain outdoor scene stick.
The key points of the negative reviews are: 1. In terms of plot, first, in the first half of Cairo, Pine looked too naive and didn't understand the size of his opponent at all. Not to mention that there is no way to protect Sophie (he didn't have the ability). After Sophie was killed, he still didn't see the situation clearly, and he still hoped on the police. It was an idiot.
2. On the plot, secondly, the Cairo incident ended but did not end well, and there was no explanation of the impact on Pine, and no changes in him in the past four years can be seen. Only four years later he appeared again with a blingbling smile. The pain in his heart must be there, but the film did not show it. Lack of paving for the follow-up.
3. In terms of characters, Pine's personality and thought settings are vague. If he has multiple personalities, then there is a blur in the film. It is difficult for the audience to enter Pine's inner world, and the plot that he and Sophie suddenly have sex with will feel abrupt. From Dou Sen's expression and tone, I couldn't see the change the guard Sophie said. I feel that both the plot design and Dou Sen's acting skills have limitations that cause this problem.
4. Still complaining about the camera, Dou Sen's facial close-ups are too many to catch up with the photo album. Although it looks good. The failure is that most of them can only be seen to be good-looking, not the inner world of Pine. I still hope that this is a serious spy movie, not just for fans to lick the screen.
Looking forward to the next few episodes!

    Well...very BBC. Beginning in Cairo and ending in Cairo, oh miss Cairo. Then, Gao Mei directly went to film Tenet from this crew. I feel that the characters can still be connected... Besides, Hugh Laurie and Sen Ge's voices and pronunciations are very charming, um.
