e01 DA as a detective
Key point: 14-year-old boy ben died, the kids asked andy "are you Jacob's dad", and a girl Sarah asked him "did you talk to Jacob". Derek's parents are friends with Jacob's parents (andy and his wife). Derek played video games at Jacob's house the day before and ignored him at school the next day. Someone anonymously sent it to Andy Ben's fb page, everyone rips it below, Jacob sent a message, this person is dead, don't keep replying to messages, and act like his friend. Derek below replies "everyone knows that you did it. you've got a knife. i've seen it." Andy saw this and flipped his son Jacob from his room to a switchblade while he was asleep.
Suspense points: 1. Andy and his wife's attitude towards their son Jacob is a bit cautious and superficial. When they talk to Jacob, Andy is very blunt "Let's talk for a few minutes", and his wife is a bit contrived "We just want to tell you yours" All emotions can tell us", which is also foreshadowed in her own work, and she feels very insincere watching her video. Doubt maybe Jacob is not biological? 2. Why does Jacob have a knife? 3. Jacob said that he thought Ben was a little bit of a bum. What was wrong between him and Ben? 4. Why did Derek hold Sarah and ask her what she told the police? Combined with his response to Jacob's fb is slightly contradictory. Does he have a ghost in his heart or has a personal feud with Jacob? 5. Watch out for metaphor, the catcher in the rye, when Jacob mentioned that the only thing he learned from this book is that a lot of people are phony. This sentence is in line with his character. He and his father said that many of the remorse students in Ben's house pretended to be sad. He also said on FB that you all pretended to be familiar with Ben. What kind of phony did he suffer from? 6. Andy mentioned that many parents in this school are lawyers. Does this have any effect?
e02 Reversal: The son concealed that he had seen the corpse
Key point: Andy threw the knife. Jacob ran away after seeing the police at the door of the house after school. After being caught, he immediately said that he was the first person who discovered the body. Because he was afraid, he didn't talk to anyone before. Andy was dropped from the case and replaced with an elite DA guy who had a bit of beef with him. Jacob was arrested as a suspect and his home searched in full view. In the end, Jacob is locked in the cell and will be "trialed" tomorrow morning. In the last episode, someone suspected a person with a criminal record. In this episode, Andy didn't find anything, but then there was a scene where he reluctantly deleted the photo of Ben in the restaurant.
Suspense point: I missed one in the last episode. Jacob contacted his parents frantically when the incident happened, but he stopped talking when his father finally asked him what was wrong. In this episode, J said it was because he saw the body. Don't say it for fear. 2. Jacob said he bought the knife because he saw it was cool, is that true? 7. The pervert knew Ben and probably followed him. Did he kill Ben? 8. Where is the murder weapon? 9. What the hell did Jacob do? Touched or killed? 10. Who is the man with the dagger on the forearm in Andy's dream? What is the story between them?
e03:
My takeaway: Before going to court, the lawyer told Andy's parents that there should be no expressions, any expressions will be interpreted against them by the media and people, highlighting a kind of opposition between people. The film's shaping of the successful image of Andy and his wife Lori can feel that the film is aimed at this elite, elite-centered society. For example, Andy said that she was looking for her colleague Duff as a friend, but was dissed that she had never been to his house, which also highlighted a state where everyone is self-centered and self-secretly protected.
Plot point: bail-out, elite man asks for bail increase but judge doesn't agree. Andy told lori's child confess that his father was in jail for killing a college girl, Jacob got angry and said "I may have a murder gene". The lawyer said to Jacob that Ben bully him, so Jacob took out the dagger, at this time a detail, lori directly started to blame why Jacob didn't tell his parents these things, and Andy started to ask Jacob Ben why he was bullying him. lori can no longer tolerate her husband and son's lie, andy is more serious as a sorry dad feeling that he owes his son. The people in the restaurant looked at Jacob with fear and opposition; Lori went to her children's center and kicked. Andy went to ask his colleague Sister Hei to see the case of the elite man and was rejected, but then Sister Hei put it in his mailbox. Jacob and netizens were blocked from playing games by Andy. Murder rot in hell. lori was sprayed outside the house. When I was running in the morning, I remembered that Jacob picked up a bowling ball when he was a child and wanted to smash other children. The two went to the consultation together. Regarding Jacob's behavior when he was a child, Andy felt that they were normal children. Lori mentioned Jacob's "difficult" violent problems when he was a child, such as biting children and pushing people. She denied that she suspected Jacob's behavior. Innocence. Lori's best friend came to deliver the meal and told her that she didn't want to see her by the way. Lori threw the food out in a rage in front of the father and son. The pervert reappeared, as if stalking another little boy, Derek.
Suspense point: 10. To solve the doubt, the man with the dagger tattoo in Andy's dream is the murderer's father. 11. Sarah called Duffy and said she had information related to the case. What is it?
e04: genetic evidence
My takeaway: In the face of Jacob's suspicious behavior, both parents feel a little bit seeking a placebo, and the mother can only seek the bloodline. Is there really a murder gene in the blood? If a father is a son and not a murderer, he must find the real murderer, and then find the most suspicious crazy dig.
Plot point: Andy's father's jiansha case against a 19-year-old girl gradually became the focus, and in Lori's heart, he became an ant's nest that did not believe in his son and husband; at Andy's place, the scars of his youth were gradually uncovered, and he finally saw the dagger in his nightmare. The source of the tattoo (when he was a child, the prisoner dared not look at his father and when his father pulled him angrily, he saw the tattoo of a dagger on his forearm) and at the request of the police and his wife, he needed to face his father for DNA; Flashback to the courtroom, Andy's father (bloddy billy) case and the lori mental breakdown it caused became the prosecutor's dagger against Andy, gradually attacking. Going back to the Ben case itself, when Jacob described how he saw Ben, the descriptions were inconsistent several times. Jacob as a suspect? Was checked for a lot of mental, physical indicators; Derek was questioned by the police (well done here, we don't know why). Andy found some tricks in the alibi of some perverts based on the materials given by Duff, and confronted the witnesses at the time. The witnesses did not give good feedback. Andy followed the perverts but saw nothing. Lori because her son was involved in a case, the profession she valued? ️, and the circle of friends has also dispersed. In the restaurant, she met a gentle person who thought she could cry and complained that it turned out to be a columnist with malicious intentions, and she fell to the bottom madly. Her trust : She went to someone to investigate the bloody billy case privately. The cute little girl Sara came to Jacob's house to play, and the relationship between the two seemed to be getting closer. Jacob created a new fb account behind his father's back and added sara's friend to listen to her songs.
Suspense points: 1. Jacob should be biological, if not, the DNA can be detected in the next episode anyway. 4. Jacob says Derek likes sara. And in this episode, he seems to have unusual feelings for sara? 11. Sara calling duff and Derek being questioned by duff, should it be related? 12. What is the courtroom where Andy faces another prosecutor? 9. Jacob showed confusion and inconsistency before and after in this episode, which can be explained by panic (not knowing whether he is standing, squatting or kneeling), but one thing, he looked at ben on his stomach and called out ben directly , a little suspicious? 13. In these episodes, Andy stared at his son worriedly while watching a movie with his son. He also said to the lawyer, "I'm sure there's something going on here." Does he trust his son?
e05: child s*x
Plot point: Andy went to prison to ask his father for DNA, but he didn't give it, Lori went to chat and he agreed. Another evidence that appeared was Ben's mobile phone. In Derek's hands, although Jacob could not be exonerated, the J family seemed to see Derek's suspicious hope. About Jacob: According to Derek, he watched a bloody pornographic website; he scolded Sara sl*t after he learned about Sara's fruitage incident, and also expressed his strong distrust of Sara to his mother. About Lori: This episode has her detailed emotional line, she's afraid to get into people's eyes, but after a while in the supermarket, she gets some kind of solace in buying, buying, and buying, but halfway through, she meets ben's mother, ben's mother even After Lori spat, Lori fell to the bottom of the valley and went to the psychiatist to express her feelings. As a result, the psychiatrist threw out terminology and could not support her expectations. The mobile phone thing seemed to restore her mood a little; Andy fragrant hair; the next day when Andy and Jacob went fishing, she went to find the father-in-law in prison. Andy: The father's rejection, the son's possible bizarre fetishes, he's trying to take it all on his own.
Suspense point: 11. Ben's cell phone became a witness, and sara bravely told the story between the three children: Derek liked sara, sara and ben had an affair, and ben asked sara to send him a photo of the fruit, He used this as a threat to give him bj. Derek found out about this and stole Ben's phone and gave it to Sara. Sara didn't take it. Ben died two days later. That's why sara is suspicious of Derek. 4. Derek and Sara's questions can be answered on the phone. 15. Is it true that Derek told Andy that Jacob was watching blood + porn sites? (Flashbacks to the court in which the prosecutor asked Andy about the site showed an empirical sense of "this is true", and so far we've only thought it was Derek's family) 5. The person who doesn't trust should be Jacob One of the personality traits of sara, I didn't dare to discuss it with my father before, but now I always want to talk to sara but don't want to say that she is my friend? 14. What did Lori say to Andy's father to convince him? 3. What Ben did to Sara can show that he is a vain person, which is consistent with Jacob's prediction. But what exactly is their bully relationship?
e06: Prelude to the trial
Plot point: There was nothing on the phone. Finally, the witness turned up and said that the pervert once revealed that he had a crush on Ben, but the pervert found no knife. The results of the genetic and psychological tests came out. Andy had the murder gene and Jacob didn't, but the three generations of their males all had the genes of low empathy and high violence. Jacob re-registered his account on fb before and made a bad joke about being an axe murderer, but Andy discovered that Jacob deleted the account. Go to court.
Suspense point: 7. Is it true that the pervert loved Ben, combined with the fact that he deleted Ben's photo in e02 to reduce the degree of relevance, is it still possible? 10. Andy continues to reject his father's offer, will his father give him a big wave in the end? 16. There was a bald brother who was sitting in a blue Lincoln car and observing Andy's family. He also followed Lori's run in his car before. When Andy was in front of him, he called out Mr.Barber. Who is he/who does he help? for what purpose?
e07 Court Trial
my takeaway: The flashback to the courtroom was used as a slightly convoluted interlude before, mainly related to Andy's emotions. In this episode, it is directly related to the murder novel, and it plays the role of suspense and emotional impetus. It is necessary to convince some people to be close to them and make them feel that they are one of them; naming the person who is called can personalize the person being called, and it can also bring the relationship closer. The words Ben said to Jacob were so naked, so true, but they didn't resonate in the crowd. A novel written by Jacob exploded. When morality has become something that won't be talked about, the film A low requirement of the current society: as long as you keep the bottom line of the law, you can be considered an individual only if you keep the bottom line of the law. It's also talking about Andy's father's change of heart and kindness to help his son and grandson.
Plot point: The court trial is where the two sides pay each other to push the boundaries with one sentence. The final climax of the trial: Jacob published a murder novel with himself as the murderer on the perverted porn website. Every point is in line with the evidence disclosed by the police. From the perspective of a lawyer It was said that he was watching TV fantasies, but in Lori's view, it was his son's confidence, which shows her low level of trust. Of course, it can be said that Andy's father gave her a wave of blows and attempted violence against his son in childhood (thinking The memory of smashing another child to death with a bowling ball from behind) and the forensic doctor's statement that "bloodstains can be avoided from behind" always frightened her, and the test results showed that her son had low empathy ability, which gradually collapsed her trust, but she had no confidence in herself. The son's utter distrust seems to me partly due to her own inability to love. Of course, Andy's problems gradually emerged. He concealed the violent pornography website, was unreasonable, and couldn't understand what good words were; although Lori admitted that he knew it after the confrontation, he couldn't hide the fact that he concealed it in the first place. A man has an arrogant character, and his trust in his son is more like his strongness, and he is paranoid when he responds to his father's words. Jacob has just repaired his relationship with Sarah, and he also collapsed after the novel incident; it can be seen that Jacob's attitude towards people is only related to his mood. In the first few episodes when he was in a bad mood, he would call Sarah a slt. I started replying to Sarah; his emotional ups and downs are a bit like his mother's, so Lori said "maybe he learnt from both of us" was appropriate. The final shot is to the pervert, who, under a lot of stress, writes a confession-like document on the back of the court summons, ending with "I killed Ben".
Suspense point: 16. The bald brother is a ganster, what role does the gangster play in this? 10. Andy continued to reject his father's offer. His father mentioned a reporter. In this episode, his father's murderer identity was revealed by a lawyer. It is estimated that he will be interviewed and stripped out in the next episode? 15. The website also became real with the real hammer of the novel. 13. Andy should trust his son. He didn't believe when he asked the sentence "Did you do it?", and after his son said "no", he really believed it, and even followed The truth of the novel, he faced the fact that his son was on the website, let him have no scruples and his fighting power soared. In the case, in addition to being the father, he returned to the role of a half-competitive DA. 7. "i killed Ben" may also be a mythical thing like "you all say that i killed ben", although according to the low-flip-heavy suspense of this film, the pervert should be the killer? 5. Jacob kept the violent horror novel he wrote, but it further strengthened my confidence that he did not kill. But can he get better? 3. Bully has a clear relationship, ben scolded Jacob as a faggo in front of all the children. 2. Derek describes Jacob's attitude towards the knife as "that's one of his secrets", which feels very appropriate. Jacob calls it "old buddy" in the novel, and feels that he just likes the knife. But does Jacob's knife have any other role to play? 17. The nervousness of the pervert seems to reflect mental illness? 18. Let's talk about Sarah and Derek's teenage love at the next meeting. What kind of impact will it have?
e08 After the trial
Plot point: The pervert's suicide + confession made Jacob exonerated, but Andy found out that the confession was written under the threat of white gangsters and the pervert did not commit suicide. After confronting his father, he thought that he had been confirmed by asking questions. But in order not to worry everyone, I didn't say it. The whole family went to Mexico for a holiday after whitewashing the peace. In the middle, Jacob's female friend disappeared, causing Andy to collapse and confess to Lori. In the end, although Jacob didn't do anything to the girl, her husband's betrayal mixed with Lori's old doubts about her son came up again, causing her to resurface. She had a complete mental breakdown. She frantically called her lawyer sister and biological psychoanalyst sister late at night. She didn't hear back and became even more mad. She threw away her son's photo album while sorting out the moving things. She took Jacob to a haircut and asked him if he had killed Ben. After getting a negative answer, she went crazy, and then frantically accelerated and crashed into the wall of the bridge, causing Jacob to fall into a coma. Andy went to court for the car accident, and everything was whitewashed, saying that Lori had all the trust in Jacob, and the final case was unsuccessful. The ending is that the wife is acting stupid, the father is broken, the son is half dead, and Andy is sitting in the shadows alone with a silhouette like a middle-aged remake of Captain America.
Suspense point: 18.?️ The trial ended immediately. 17. If it was the bald guy who held the gun to him, the nervousness could be explained. 16. The bald brother is a friend of Andy's father. He was entrusted to help protect the safety of their home, but he was also entrusted to kill the pervert. 14. There is still no answer. It may not be important to the current plot. It may be that Lori's emotional foreshadowing is enough. 12. Revealed, the second court is the court about whether Lori's crash has been filed or not. It is also the second time for Defending Jacob. If Andy believed his instinct when he saw his son's photo album in the garbage bag, he should defend Jacob and get his wife in. . 10. There is no time to do things at the end. 9. In the end it didn't say whether Jacob killed or not, although I'm leaning towards not killing it. 8. The murder weapon disappears forever Jacob's knife. 7. It may or may not be that he killed who it is. 6. Think too much?️. 5. What is Jacob doing? no one knows. Probably just adolescence. 2. I can't find the knife either, but I can't find the feeling that this film is unresolved at the end?️. Before the character analysis was written together with the plot points, it seemed a bit messy, so let's write it in sections after the eighth episode. Lori: On the point of mental breakdown, it is not too much to highlight the neuroticism and low trust in her character before. Of course, it can be said that the psychoanalyst she encountered was a biological psychoanalyst rather than a professional spirit. analyst, so she can't gain trust from her, which may lead to her lack of trust in all psychiatrists, so she didn't go to a professional psychiatrist to solve her problems (this is what I think is tragic for this character solution), but also highlights the problem of low trust. The feeling of betrayal by her friends who have left her also deepens the tragedy. I don't want to talk about vanity, but I have to say that Lori is full of strength, likes to see everything peaceful on the surface, suppresses her distrust, when "untrustworthy" things can find someone to blame (Andy), she You can completely disintegrate your own world, pass the disappointment of Andy's concealment directly to the son, and determine that the son killed someone. I even wanted to go to ben's mother confess, but when I saw Ben's mother's self-mutilation behavior, I couldn't bear it again. In the end, the logic went crazy and she wanted to kill her son (from the fact that she threw away her son's album, she really wanted to kill her son even if she was mentally unstable), returned to the "original state" and found Back to "happiness". In the end, she said that she had forgotten everything, which was in line with her desire to "fix" everything. Andy: The second best at whitewashing Taiping, it feels like a way of life he is used to: truth is less important than a whole world of goodness (a utilitarian feel). When he once stood in the dock, he resigned to the boss and said that he could no longer be a DA, because it is true that he did something that did not conform to procedural justice in the process of securing the stability of his family. I can vaguely understand a The feeling that the confidence in the career has disappeared after the primary justice of the DA person has been shaken. Later, he went to see the pervert file, only to find that Lincoln had been to his house. Of course, we can also say that what Lincoln's bald head did may exist in Andy's imagination, after all, his father did not give a confirmed answer. So to sum up, Andy is a first-rate pro at lying, and then he wants to take on everything himself, and thinks that this will make everything smooth and the self-paralysis mechanism will be opened up. In addition, he hated his father very much. But to find the feeling that the film is unresolved at the end?️.

In addition, he hated his father very much.
The overall feeling is that the suspense is pretty good, and the narrative, although a bit anticlimactic, doesn't overshadow the goodness of the story itself, although it can seem very contrived in the first few episodes. Distrust between people and people's distrust of human nature is prominent. But is the acting really mediocre?
