Destination unknown

FOX's new series "Alcatraz" ("Alcatraz") is set very much like the USA's sci-fi drama "4400" in previous years, but there are 4400 earths abducted by aliens in different historical periods. People, and here are 302 serious prisoners who evaporated from the world 50 years ago. This Pandora’s box-like plot setting will obviously have stronger typographical characteristics than the later "4400" that was trapped in human sociology, but The long-term vitality of the play still depends on the 50-year exploration of this mysterious missing, or it is related to aliens, or parallel time and space, or cloning technology... This is a test for the creator-whether it can be used with a shocking world Explain it to explode the imagination of the audience, otherwise it can only be a series of bad vulgar crimes under the cloak of mysticism.
Judging from the current progress, in order to keep the audience’s interest, "Alcatraz" will reveal some relevant information in each episode, the mysterious cracking team, the gloomy confinement room, the vegetative psychologist... But all these elements have not yet been formed. Effective information points, and in the end, is this caused by a political conspiracy or a scientific madman’s anti-human brutality. The plot extension of the show has many possibilities. The key issue is that the screenwriter must take the audience’s patience to explore the truth. And what I want to know is, while setting up a fog for onlookers, do you already know your destination clearly? In other words, but one day when the show is facing premature death due to poor ratings (with FOX's consistent cruelty, this possibility is great), can you use a convincing theory for the audience in a short period of time Solve this mystery that presupposes numerous institutions? Otherwise you are wasting the lives of the audience.
Just like JJ Abrams's previous film and television works, this "Alcatraz" produced by him is also marked with a very obvious personal creation label. The intertwined narrative method continues from "Lost", and the character collocation and case pattern The copy of "Edge of Crisis" is a combination of female investigators, academics, and FBI executives, and the start of "Edge of Crisis" is stronger and more creative than "Alcatraz", but after a few years, "crisis" "Edge" has been managed as an "unfinished edge". So chasing this kind of drama that uses bizarre creativity as the source of development is an adventure in itself. You must be mentally prepared to be fooled for nothing. It is fortunate to have a good end like "Lost", although the audience is finally filled with A surprise ending.
JJ Abrams is such a guy who makes people love and hate, he can always successfully puff your appetite, and then lead you to a dark journey with an unknown destination, and when you realize your confusion , He has left quietly. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
