Politician: It's not about trying to make you feel real, instead, the show blurs the boundaries of what's real by leaving it up to you to decide the authenticity of every action

I have a fascination with youth school and music-themed dramas, mostly because of Glee who opened my doors to American dramas . So every time I play River on my playlist , I think back to the River in the back seat telling Payton the truth: When River left, most people took the suicide as a warning at best. Without River, everyone still returned to plainness, except that the male protagonist couldn't let go, and the female protagonist ran for River to replace him, and they were so indifferent to Drama, who appeared at the beginning of this game.

Payton 's voice was so warm and powerful, it almost melted my heart, that River holding a gun at home , wearing a baseball uniform to payton 's ambiguous encouragement, the back seat told Payton it was time to feel the real River, put Payton 's personality The foil is just right: Payton is a chameleon, an official figure with knowledge and a dream of president. He looks real and fake, because he is so fraternity that he can be very warm to everyone. Behind this fraternity is that you don't know what he is. What is the feeling, it seems that this person is so sincere and so kind to me , but when you find out that he is so kind to everyone, will you have a trace of panic - he is just being nice

So it's not too much to say that Payton 's target is Glee's Rachel . Both of them have big dreams and are typical of Being nice, but Rachel 's emotions are richer, and Payton only lets me see him when he sings. soul. Payton can even break up with his girlfriend Alice for the sake of his own presidential career! Rachel can't do this !

Having said that, the characters in this show are actually very good. Payton 's girlfriend Alice , whose dream is to be the first lady , has a very big-picture ideology: Sexual infidelity is not very decisive the moment it comes out of her mouth. As a wealthy girl, Astrid staged a scene where she faked that she was kidnapped and then ran away from home and had crazy sex with gangsters. In the end, she also reported that her father went to New York alone to be a waiter, which is even more bloody (Murphy's New York feelings are really heavy) , Because he is too rich, he can't feel the core of life. Editing it alone is a super satirical short film about money worship. Always fake orgasms for her boyfriend gives River one more reason to want to die.

This line of Infinity is the remodeling of the evil deeds of the American TV series. Aunt Lan’s dramatic performance makes the mental state of Infinity ’s morbid attachment panic, and Infinity just shows an adolescent girl’s resistance to her own life. This kind of rebellion is in the plot. It seems so tense in the show, which is the only way for Freedom to come, and it is also the only expected plot line in the play. The other two in the Electoral College, James cheated with the male protagonist and girlfriend Alice, and Mcafee and Skyler 's sudden love affair are the highlights of the show's confusing behavior award.

The most confusing emotional line is the entanglement between Payton's mother Georgina and Tie T's horse trainer. The character of Little Pepper is intellectual and sober. Every time he speaks, the queen speaks the scene, and even bluntly says that the two boys of his own are incomparable. Going to the male protagonist Payton, so it is not surprising that she turned to go to the countryside at the end of the auction of jewelry. This character reveals the philosophy of breaking away from the world from her bones, and going to the countryside may also be her best destination (must come back next season)

The most satisfying thing about this film is that it does not express emotions through different treatment. No one will yell when boys and boys are together. The 3P relationship between the hero and heroine + River is also very natural (although I didn't see it. It's a pity), even Alice's view of love is so bold: times have changed, sexual infidelity is not derailed, I think we can have an affair . I was stunned when I saw this. The open relationship view of love has a determination that Payton will definitely be with her in the end. This sober view of the overall situation is really not something ordinary people have. He has a bucket of shit ready for him)

The most exciting episode is definitely the fifth episode, the different positions of the campaign and the voting parties, the super exaggerated fierce debate, the crazy canvassing of the radical people + the swing voters to watch from the sidelines, and even hide in the toilet to watch movies and jerk off. The popular campaign-related knowledge trends, let the star (drake) be the campaign platform, infinity is super strong, and you have to listen to other people's arguments for the campaign when you have a meal. The points of debate are very dense, the lines are fast, and my head is big. ! What's more important is the part where Little Pepper fights for the rights of voters at the voting site. Swing voters only care about jerking off and the private parts of women, which forms an ideological contrast with Little Pepper's conversation! The election result was an unexpected reversal (no spoilers)

In fact, this drama combines many elements of Murphy's dramas, Screaming Queen + Glee, but it does not focus on LGBTQ. The former was cut because of the empty plot, and the latter fell rapidly because of changes in the actor + music industry. This time The show's focus is on satire of the present , and there are a couple of obvious moments of performance that give me goosebumps: it's not trying to make you feel real, instead, the show gives you the authenticity of every action The decision blurs the boundaries of reality . What is even more impressive is that in the 7th episode, I knew that Payton was about to cry (parting scene), but I didn't expect a crying scene to be so easy to film. First, it was a collection of golden sentences about the philosophy of life, and then Xiao Chili told Payton directly: Cry when I leave, then Payton put his hands behind his back, looked around, and finally blushed like a little raccoon, desperately trying to restrain his panting, and then the crying scene ended. , a neat finish.

The first season can be concluded in Ep7, and Ep8 is the beginning of the second season. Payton in New York drank and sang the piano all day long, and then went to the expected, "The Avengers Assemble" fragment was not realized in Glee, but it was successful here. .

The soundtrack of the series is River, which is the most heartwarming three-dimensional image. Vienna is even more tearful. Of course, you can't forget the opening song Chicago (Teacher Shufujia, please touch me immediately)

In short, this drama is a very impressive drama I saw this year. The candy-colored fashion and the three major elements of Musical/Comedy/Political just hit my G point. Each of the three elements gets 1 point , and River+0.5 points. (I am very good at people and songs), the line "I'm your shadow" +0.5 , and finally +0.5 points for the brave and rebellious Infinity (I also want to be a person who please restrain me and go forward~)

4.5 points, I hope the rhythm of the next season can be so tight~

    As the highlight of Ryan Murphy's move to Netflix, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent, but including the title, I always feel that everything has been added, but it seems that something is missing. For example, although the title imitates the details of the crown to create the theme song But inexplicably changed from deep to light, Jessica Lange is still continuing the exaggerated drama of the US-horror series, as if it is out of touch with the whole drama. "L&O: SVU" has already been filmed as early as last year. An episode taken from the same prototype mother role is more natural to convince The more powerful version of Pearl and Jade is in the front, and the other roles are in the same frame. Every time the "First Lady" makes a brilliant move, Gwyneth Paltrow, who is also the queen of the movie, takes the role of a loving mother and implicit irony very well. The most outstanding is the fifth episode, the only short story is aimed at the ignorance, numbness, and indifference of the so-called "voters" who do not vote even if they are related to their personal interests, and they are like walking dead. The way of life is vividly portrayed, the plot is still compact, the singing and dancing parts are unnecessary, and the Harvard part obviously alludes to Felicity Huffman and other celebrities to buy places, and the overall quality is not bad~
