The script is designed to tear apart every marriage and analyze it. The bloody truth is revealed to the audience. In the play, adults or children, everyone is facing problems, everyone is lying, and every couple has disputes. Struggling with your own contradictions to move forward. The actors in the play have a good grasp of the characters, and the eye movements make people immersed in the character's environment and can't help thinking about the character's future. Maybe this is the true nature of life. Everything is too perfect but it seems unreal. There is a dispute, which means that everyone is pursuing what they want. Imperfect characters are easy to move people's hearts. TV dramas are prone to ignoring supporting roles, and excellent dramas can always try their best to avoid this phenomenon through the character design of the script. This show is such a good show, you can't let anyone ignore any couple, and every couple's performance is impressive.
It should be said that this play has a deep feminist thought. The story takes place from the perspective of a woman. The protagonists are several female friends. The performance of men is only auxiliary and contrasting. Women fight and reconcile with each other, stay at home with husbands and teach children, work as strong women, help each other and slander each other, are open to each other and inevitably avoid the hardest parts of life until East window incident.
Regarding the suspenseful part of the plot, it is very ingenious. At the end, everyone knows who is dead, and it is impossible to guess who is the murderer. The interrogation of the residents of the small town that is constantly interspersed in the middle is very interesting. They gossip and make senseless guesses about the lives of others. They are mean and think they are kind and just. These people think that knowing the truth can penetrate people's hearts, but after all, the understanding between friends is deeper, and their understanding of their own family is more comprehensive, and only they can understand themselves. This is also the way out and growth point for women. Everyone thinks that the ending of the story can be guessed through the confessions of other people, but the more clues there are, the more confusing it will be. Before the last episode, the audience thought that through what they said, a certain character among several heroines made an unforgivable mistake. At the end, everyone found out that it was the wicked who were punished, and everyone was happy, but the process was exciting and confusing, making people worry.
Compared with the delicately structured suspense and the grand war, this kind of TV series that analyzes human nature so delicately is also the highlight of American TV series.
In the end of the 2017 Emmy Awards, this drama won the best mini-series, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, and best supporting actor.
