I haven't read the original work of "Do Nothing", so I can't compare the problems of the adaptation. Of course, the clues and suspense in this play are not rigorous, and some of them are intentional, such as the victim's husband's alibi. However, I guess that the process of changing the drama has strengthened the suspiciousness of many characters around the heroine. As for the heroine's own status as a psychiatrist, the usual practice is to change her mind to have mental problems in the end. Isn't it absurd? Is it a plot hole? I don't think so. This is precisely the most special part of this show. Compared with the heroine herself being a murderer, there is more dramatic conflict and a more appropriate and beneficial allegory. If Nicole was just a "partner" of Reese Witherspoon in "Big Little Lies", she is on her own in "Doing Nothing." The reversal of her testimony in court at the end of the last episode is a radiant paragraph. Although I paid too much attention to the plot, I did not pay too much attention to her performance, but from a certain point of view, this may be Nicole's career The best scene in my career, surpassing the prosthetic nose in "The Moment" for best actress at the Academy Award, or the dew point in Kubrick's curtain call "Eyes Widespread". There is no sarcasm in this comment. But one thing I have to point out is that Nicole's goddess is still too heavy, not only her body, but also her facial muscles, so to some extent, the performance is also distorted. Unlike Hugh Grant, who once left the goddess Elizabeth Hurley because of a prostitute in reality, although the wrinkles on his face looked like zebra crossings, he continued to squeeze proudly, as if the parallel wrinkles could echo out. Handsome and hot. In addition, a story like this may be better adapted into a movie, and it is easier to unify the front and back. Even such a limited series is a bit too long and too diluted, and I think this drama can be reviewed and received at the awards ceremony. A lot, and it shouldn't be an exception like "Big Little Lies", plus a second season. Hope not.
