Do you know how awesome the creative team of this show is? J.J. Abrams, the director of "Star Wars" personally As the executive producer, screenwriter and director Jonathan Nolan filmed the masterpiece "Interstellar" with his brother Christopher. The other two directors are also the creators of "Game of Thrones" and "Lost", and all the actors are also actors. Anthony Hopkins, who plays the leading role, won the Oscar for Best Actor for "The Silence of the Lambs". Isn't this a masterpiece?

Here is another set of rating data: the Rotten Tomatoes review score is 88%, the audience score is 81%, the IMDb score is 9.3, Metacritic's Metascore is 73 points, and the audience score is 9.2. The domestic Douban is 9.4, which is incredible!

Moreover, when this drama premiered on October 2, it was watched by 3.3 million people, rewriting the premiere ratings record set by "True Detective" in 2013. Some media even commented that this drama may become a top American drama comparable to "Game of Thrones"! So, are these global praises due to the luxurious cast or the story it tells?

All of them! But first of all, it has a good foundation, which means that the story itself is a super IP - adapted from the science fiction film "Westworld" of the same name by Michael Crichton, the "father of technological thrillers".

Since it is a "technological thriller", you can probably know the tone of this drama, but you will never imagine how imaginative it is! It has set up Delos, a giant high-tech adult park in the future world. Pay attention to the word "adult".

In a general paradise, if you want to enjoy violence, you can at most play real-life CS, but here you can really kill people, like this▼

Then you can also follow " "Corpse" photo~▼

It's okay to have sex in a pornographic and violent way, like this▼

What? ! Isn't this illegal? NO! Because those who commit crimes for you are just artificial humans, a high-tech robot whose physical structure is as sophisticated as that of humans.

Let’s first take a look at how the artificial humans in the show are created. Their bodies are based on white material and are made to perfection using a method similar to 3D printing.

The artificial man in standby state is simply a concentration camp of beautiful bodies!

Then under the guidance of programmers, they learned to speak and act like humans. There will also be screenwriters who specialize in writing various scenes in the park involving guest participation and interaction.

So rape and murder are not crimes here, and the "people" you meet are waiting to be killed by you. This is part of the plot! And at the end of each story cycle, their memories will be cleared and they will start over. The "dead" ones will also be returned to the factory to be rescued, and they will continue to be killed after going online!

These artificial humans are called "hosts" in the show, and the subtitles team translated them as receptionists. Just like hosts receive guests, their existence is to entertain new residents who pay to enter the park ( newcomer).

But in fact, the word host also means (computer) host. In the park, they are regarded as a host, but everything is done according to human settings. If you think about it carefully, this name is quite interesting. There is irony, and like many science fiction films, this also hints at the awakening and resistance of the hosts behind!

Jonathan Nolan

The director of the play, Jonathan Nolan, added a very detailed adaptation to the hosts' awakening of self-awareness. He added a new female protagonist named De Loris is set as a simple girl in the West. Her life only consists of her father, ranch and lover.

However, the plot was interrupted due to the appearance of a mysterious man who killed her lover and raped her. This also left a mark on her "subconscious", so that every time she restarted There will be subtle changes. The most important thing is that at the end of the first episode, she swatted the fly on her neck. Under the guidance of the correct program, artificial humans cannot even kill flies.

Another important new character is Dr. Ford, played by veteran actor Anthony Hopkins, who is the creator of these robots.

In a host program upgrade he led, he added meditation code to them, which caused a series of hosts to malfunction. They did not follow the set plot and had epileptic seizures for no reason. Sickness, etc., and then incidents of androids losing control and killing each other occurred one after another...

Perhaps it was this meditation code that caused the robots to change, develop their own consciousness, and derail the performance. And will the story develop like the original version, with the park gradually losing control of the hosts and the tourists being killed by them? We can get a little bit of information from the plot of the first two episodes, the conversation between Dr. Bill Ford and Dolores’ father▼

And what Dolores’ father said to his daughter▼

Or maybe the direction of the story will be more tragic and unpredictable, as the mysterious man said ▼

After reading this, are you looking forward to it? Then go and finish the first two episodes!

It is also a highly rated American drama, with an 8.7 on Douban and a freshness rating of over 90% from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The average critic score is 8.5. The IMDb score is 8.9, the Metacritic Metascore is 90, and the audience score is 8.9. This is definitely a good drama that you can watch in one sitting.

There is also an original version of this drama, which is adapted from the BBC's British drama "Justice" and has 8 episodes. The British drama itself has a very good reputation, with a Douban score of 8.8.

"Justice"

The story tells the story of a Pakistani-American college student who was accidentally involved in the murder of a white girl, but he had no memory of killing anyone... …As a result, the police, lawyers, prosecutors, suspects, and prisoners in custody were all involved. The story is laced with cultural and political undertones to show the darker side of New York life.

As a crime drama, it also has a very gripping suspense. All the evidence points to the male protagonist, but he does not remember that he has killed anyone, does not believe that he has killed anyone, and even gives up compromise. His sentence was reduced for manslaughter, but he has always maintained his innocence. So, what is the truth?

Besides this very gripping suspense, the characters are all rich and deep. Although Riz Ahmed, who plays the male protagonist Nasir Khan in this film, is not well-known, his acting skills are really hidden. You can't tell whether it is true or false from his eyes. His performance shows The scruples and stubbornness unique to a second-generation immigrant.

Another important role in the play is Nasir's lawyer, played by John Turturro. He is a recognized actor and is known as the Coen brothers' favorite actor. He has starred in "Patton" ?Fink" won the Cannes Best Actor, and also acted in "The Big Lebowski" and "Miller's Crossing" and so on.

John Turturro of "Barton Fink"

He is the fullest and most outstanding character in it. He wears a windbreaker two sizes too big, paired with sandals... With a bad appearance and a secret past, he is a parasite and garbage in the eyes of others, but has his own moral values. He initially regarded defending Nasir as a suitable business that he got by accident, but soon after, this inspired the justice in his heart.

Except for the protagonist, all characters have highlights, such as the suspect's parents, police officers, female lawyers, other prisoners, etc.

The drama itself does not focus on the case itself, but rather exposes the life and thoughts of each person involved. This also brings out complex social issues such as racial origin, cultural background, legal system and geopolitics in the United States.

You can see in this drama that all the characters are not beautiful, even ugly, they are fat or withered, wear ill-fitting clothes, and they have their own evil intentions.

But they are so real, just like most ordinary people, they are all the same people who are stubbornly fighting against life.

As you can see, this is a new drama without high-level concepts, powerful IP, or big names behind the scenes, but its Douban score is already as high as 9.3, and the foreign MDb score is 9.0. Media reviews are also very high, such as this "It brings such attractive characters to the audience that everyone can't help but go back and watch the first episode again. - The A.V. Club"

< p> Different from our previous two films, this is a story about the ordinary lives of small people. It tells the story of a group of different people, some of whom have the same birthday in common, and their lives are characterized by interesting ways intertwined. You will feel like you have watched a five-star movie condensed into 40 minutes.

Let me first introduce the characters. Rebecca and Jack are a couple who gave birth to triplets after moving to Pittsburgh.

Randall is a smartly dressed family businessman working in New York who raises his two daughters with his wife Beth.

Fat Kate and handsome Kevin are twin siblings.

Kate is worried about her diet and body shape. She puts sticky notes all over the apartment to tell her that she needs to control her diet.

Kevin is a muscular man, a popular TV actor, and has an extremely boring and never-ending single life.

Every character is a very down-to-earth little person. Randall found his father who abandoned him. In order to vent the psychological pressure caused by being abandoned for many years, he tried hard to show that he didn't care, but found that I actually care about it very much.

Kevin was forced to show off his flesh in front of the camera. He hoped to perform well, but in the end he found that all the director needed was for him to take off his shirt and use it as a gimmick to gain attention. The explosion at the end was really enjoyable!

While Jack was worried about giving birth to triplets, he had a conversation about life with the midwifery doctor in the hospital:

The story is carried out by switching between group portraits. The clips are all sincere and touching, and they are cleverly tied together in the last three minutes, which makes people cry. This drama is about telling trivial stories in life and making you laugh and cry.
