Do you feel like a hodgepodge, do you feel overwhelmed, do you feel like you don't know how to express yourself?
I watched the first two episodes with such complicated feelings. Completely relieved - oh, this is still an American crime drama, even if there are more attributions in front, even if the actors in the play speak French and German accented English, it is still just a crime drama "American drama", And, that's all.
So, you can rest assured that there are no surprises beyond all such American dramas. The opening chapter is a serial killer. Although the setting of a high-class prostitute has been added with the attribution of transnationality, it is not too new. Coupled with the prefix of the abnormal reaction to the mother's abnormal education, it is even less creative— - Just after 1/3 of the episode, I roughly guessed what the murderer might be doing.
Although there is no creative opening and no surprises, I still have to praise NBC, and American dramas have also begun to go abroad. Although the organizational background of the International Court of Justice in The Hague seems to ignore Interpol, it will be of great help in setting the plot of the subsequent case. One of the charms of the play; although the opening plot is not creative, it is full of suspense to explain the background of the characters, especially Uncle Fei, who lost one hand, and the leader of why his son died. Although it is a pity and puzzling for the British police sister to hang up as soon as she appeared, will this be another foreshadowing? Expect it.
In terms of storyline and rhythm, although this drama continues NBC's problems such as procrastination and lack of compact rhythm, but perhaps because of German shooting or because of the European background, there are some British dramas in the presentation of certain scenes and plots. In other words, the style of European dramas, these de-beautifications have added a little high-end feel to the drama, but whether it can continue, we will see.
Finally, predict the types of cases that the series may involve from the background of the characters. In addition to serial killers like the opening, it is estimated that there will be gangs, weapons smuggling and high-tech crimes.
In short, how bad can American crime dramas be? Produced by NBC, how good can it be?
A normal mind, a normal mind is best.
