He is not afraid of hitting his face, and his story is nothing exciting.

Unless the director is too bad, he is holding it back.

But the production team of this drama can rest assured.

The production company MRC(Media Rights Capital) once created the House of Cards series, which is the treasure of Netflix.

Needless to say, HBO, the distribution company, only promotes fine products.

The famous screenwriter Richard Press is in charge of the adaptation of this play.

The American drama projects he participated in are basically uncle Yu's great love, including Run, Sin Night and Firewire series.

Director jason bateman is a man of god.

He won the Emmy Award for Best Director for "Black Money Resort", the Golden Globe Award for Best Dubbing for "Arrested Development" and the Annie Award for Nick Fox in "Zootopia".

Eighteen kinds of martial arts are alive, and no matter what they do, they are particularly awesome.

In this play, Bateman once again provoked the main beam, not only as the director of the first two episodes, but also laid the tone for the whole play;

He is also an important supporting actor Terry Maitland.

The story about this character will be introduced in detail later.

With such a team, you can rest assured that you will be finished.

That's true.

As far as the current two episodes are concerned, both the creation of atmosphere, the contrast of dubbing and the texture of photography are very stylish.

The clues unfold slowly and unhurriedly, and you already have the posture of a play.

The whole story begins with a bad case.

In a fictional inland town, Frankie Peterson's body was found in the park, a boy of 1 1 years old.

Stone, phoenix sword, the murderer's killing method is extremely cruel.

Everyone who heard about this case was angry, especially the hero Ralph Anderson, a detective with 20 years' experience.

As a father who also experienced the pain of losing his son, he hated the "child killer".

Psychological mapping convinced him that the murderer must be caught this time.

As the investigation began, they quickly identified the suspect-

Terry is an English teacher and baseball team coach in a local school.

(that is, the director's own guest role mentioned earlier)

Everything is going well, even a little too well.

A witness identified himself as seeing Terry take the murdered boy away with his own eyes on the day of the murder.

Two people * * * share a white van with a foreign license plate.

After that, the white van reappeared in the parking lot at the entrance of the crime park.

A little girl passing by recalled that she saw Terry's mouth full of blood and his expression was very strange, which made people shudder.

Soon, Terry appeared in a strip club again.

Not only was the blood on my body seen in public, but I also called a taxi without hesitation and directly revealed the itinerary.

The taxi took Terry to the train station, and the train station once again seamlessly connected with the surveillance video in the station.

Meanwhile.

The blood on the white van, the fingerprints at the crime scene, and even the saliva samples left on the body are completely consistent with Terry.

There is little doubt about witnesses and physical evidence.

Now that the real killer is in hand, we can close the case easily.

Ralph thought so, too, so he made a decision-

Arrest Terry in public.

Terry was taken away like a criminal at a baseball game in full view of the whole town.

Both sensibility and rationality are irrational.

Before the trial, Terry could not be defined as a criminal, but only as a suspect.

Such a move is undoubtedly premature.

In fact, Ralph did it out of selfishness. He acquiesced in Terry's guilt and was angry. He wants to teach him a lesson in public.

However, things are not as simple as they seem.

Looking back, the evidence is too simple.

If Terry is indeed a criminal, then judging from his whereabouts after the murder, he has no sense of running away at all.

On the contrary, some people are even afraid that the world will not know.

The crime scene is full of traces and evidence, and he doesn't shy away from being covered in blood. He went to public places on purpose and met many people.

There is no taboo to show your face in surveillance video.

All this, as if on purpose, was intended for the police to arrest him.

If these can be forcibly explained by "being too flustered after committing a crime";

Then there's the supernatural-

Terry has a solid alibi.

Terry was attending an academic conference in a city 70 miles away on the day of the murder.

There are not only clear peer witnesses, but also clear videos of questions and exchanges at the conference.

This sounds incredible.

How can a person be in two places at the same time?

Even if the video is fake.

And the fingerprints of the crime scene, the fingerprints of the deceased and the fingerprints of the conference city all match one by one.

These obscene operations, such as twins, face-bumping monsters, can't be explained.

Ralph is confused. He realized that there might be a bigger secret behind it.

But before he investigated the case, more troubles followed.

Because of this tragedy, the victim's family fell apart.

The boy's mother was very sad and died of a heart attack;

Unable to vent his anger, the boy's brother suddenly appeared on Terry's way to the court.

After shooting Terry with a gun, he was killed by the police.

Left-behind father was lonely and chose to commit suicide.

A good family just disappeared.

The other side.

As Terry was arrested in public, his news spread to everyone in the town.

His family also became the target of people's attacks overnight.

Even after Terry's death, his wife and two daughters had to suffer for him, being abused and harassed all day.

Whether Terry is the murderer is still unknown.

Objectively speaking, the disaster of two families is related to Ralph's wrong decision to some extent.

If he did not choose revenge-style public arrest, which caused a storm in the city, the boy's brother might not take suicide attacks;

Terry's family will not be involved.

Because of this, Ralph bears a huge psychological burden, and he is determined to find out the truth behind the mystery.

In just two episodes, many suspense has been buried.

The first is the mystery of the case.

How can Terry be in two places at the same time?

Whether you hide a skeleton in my closet or not.

Is he a gentle people's teacher or a cruel and bloodthirsty murderer?

Secondly, there is a strange feeling hanging over the whole play.

It is strange that the boy's family members have died tragically one after another.

After the murder, Terry's little daughter became possessed.

Either sit in front of the bed in the middle of the night and say nothing, or get into bed and yell.

Shouting "no, I don't want it".

She claimed to have seen a mysterious man talking to her.

Mother comforted that it was just a nightmare, so don't be afraid.

But when the camera turned to the direction she pointed to, an unknown liquid appeared on the ground.

It's scary to think about it.

Let Uncle Fish directly play Evocation 2.

In addition, there is a mysterious figure who frequently appears in the story.

Always wear a hat and mask, not showing your true colors.

He first appeared when the police searched Terry's house.

Then he showed up at the scene where Terry was shot.

The murdered boy was downstairs when his father committed suicide.

As if predicting his death in advance.

Such details are too numerous to mention, which casts a thick layer of horror and suspense on the story.

In fact, with the continuous development of the plot, the horror and supernatural elements in the play will surface more and more.

There are many old terrier in Stephen King's works.

Unscrupulous intrigue and evil are bound and suffocated by the atmosphere.

Although the cases in the first two episodes occupy a large space in the original, the drama version has actually been greatly compressed, and the focus is still on the supernatural power behind it.

At the same time, another heroine will gradually emerge.

She is Holly Gibney, a private investigator played by Cynthia Herivaux.

If you are a fan of Stephen King, you must be familiar with this name.

It also appeared in another American TV series, Mr. Mercedes-Benz.

Stephen King often plays a linkage role in his works, which has become a great pleasure to read his stories.

Generally speaking, The Outsider is a very miscellaneous work.

"There are ups and downs of criminal investigation reasoning and grotesque and terrible ghosts."

It may be neither fish nor fowl to some types of drama lovers, but it has also become the uniqueness of Stephen King's story.

In Uncle Fish's view, no matter how the spices are mixed, the core of his works has never changed.

Monsters that never appear in the fog most of the time;

What is worth mentioning is the transparent cover that separates the town from the outside world under the dome.

So is the grotesque and frightening hilltop hotel in The Shining;

After all, one word-

Human nature.

Those supernatural phenomena that science can't explain or monsters that turn into terrorist forms are just a mirror in front of people.

Lovecraft, who created the myth of Cthulhu, famously said:

The oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear.

And the oldest and strongest fears

It's fear of the unknown.

What is hidden in the unknown?

So we imagine the abyss, the sea and the fog, trying to find the legendary horror monster.

But the last thing I saw was a ferocious self.
