Is the Tower of Babel nice?

Externally, Babel is actually beautiful. Large-scale suspense scenes have always been one of the biggest attractions of suspense dramas. Not long after the opening of Babel, the mysterious and powerful criminal appeared with the fantastic and mysterious. ?

At first, after a match between the hostess and Liu Huan, the picture was quickly cut, and the body of an online female celebrity emerged from the river. The land team (Michael) will arrive soon. The deceased was an online celebrity anchor who received a one-to-one scale mannequin before his death. But when the police found the model she quietly disposed of, they found that the wounds on the model were exactly the same as those on the female anchor. Obviously, this is a notice of murder. ?

The police locked a taxi driver through surveillance, only to find that the driver had also been killed. The suspect who was finally locked by the police not only escaped all the dead ends of monitoring, but also got rid of the police's multi-person tracking. This man is the core criminal of this play-"Water Ghost". At this point, the story begins and two suspense lines have been rolled out.

As a suspense drama, the opening atmosphere of the series is not weak. The most valuable thing is a lot of thriller elements. Especially the lines of the hostess, first of all, are surprisingly quiet, indicating that danger is approaching. After that, the woman suddenly woke up and had been kidnapped. The weird secret room and the full room of dummies all made the audience feel chilly. Peeping at the camera, it seems that there is always a pair of eyes looking at the hostess in the dark, and the atmosphere is full of terror. ?

It's a pity that the freshness of Babel stops at its appearance. Lizi, from the story to the characters, can't look back at the classic suspense drama. First of all, there is not enough suspense. The essence of the original story is that the heroine Cui Shan is trapped alone on the roof of an unfinished building, struggling to survive while playing psychological games with voyeurs, and the suspense and story tension brought by subjective perspective erupt in a limited space. ?

However, when the limited pattern of a mystery novel is extended to a 30-episode mystery drama, the problem arises. From the first act of the whole drama, the heroine Cui Shan and Liu Huan play the role of meeting each other after a brief encounter, and the whole drama jumps back and forth directly on two story lines, one is criminal investigation, and the other is the escape from the secret room of terror suspense. ?

Behind this, of course, is the master's ambition, but the fact is that the two lines are not well connected, giving the audience the feeling that they are watching two plays. The narrative rhythm of the series has also been seriously dragged down. The pace of criminal investigation is too slow, and a lot of reasoning dramas are unnecessary. The audience was forced to jump from one case to another, and the cases lacked the necessary connection. And Cui Shan was trapped in the secret room. This line has no head and no tail, and time is limited, like inexplicably entering. ?

The result is that after six episodes, the two story lines have not been connected. Trishanne is missing, and the man doesn't know. The dead characters in the play have nothing to do with the heroine Cui Shan. The audience can't see what the core story is, and suspense can't be established. ?

Secondly, there are too many clues to the characters. There are two suspense lines in the opening part, the emotional line of the man and the career growth line of the woman. Just because a man bought an engagement ring led to nearly half an episode. Female two used to be a swimmer, but now she is afraid of the story line of water. She was half an episode as soon as she came up. The six episodes are scattered in different clues, but they seem to lack focus. What the audience wants most is suspense. ?

The biggest problem in the first six episodes is that a group of actors seem to be trying their best to shape the characters, but the emotional communication of the characters is not rich, and the audience can't feel what is good.
