1. "Percy Jackson and the Olympian Gods".
Compared with previous film adaptations, this drama has undoubtedly made a qualitative leap. While I don't entirely agree with criticizing the show because of the skin color and appearance of the characters, it's important to note that the show does a pretty good job of recreating the original. Indeed, due to the limitation of only eight episodes, some details are inevitably missing. Still, for those viewers who have read the entire original, the series did not disappoint. The production of the special effects and some props (such as the horns) is indeed a bit crude, but overall, the show is still to be appreciated.
2, "Detective Jack Season 2".
The second season significantly outperformed the first. The leading actor's figure seems to be a little too strong, and I don't know if it's over-fitness. It might be better if the heroine were more attractive. This season has done an excellent job of portraying Jack Richard as a tough guy, which is not easy in today's feminine film and television market. I can't help but think of the handsome actor in China who is 1.91 meters, can he withstand the heavy punch of the same tall actor?
3, "The Serial Killer's Wife".
The ending is quite thought-provoking, and the heroine's daughter seems to understand her decision invisibly. The play shows a mother's protection of her children, showing her resistance to such fathers and husbands. The protagonist's choice appears both morally correct and contradictory. The last two minutes seem to hint at the possibility of a case reopening, but this attempt to turn to social justice seems slightly far-fetched. The whole story can actually be condensed into a two-hour movie, and the four episodes seem slightly longer.
4, "Youyou White Book".
The viewing effect of this drama is unexpectedly good. Although the plot has been cut and some of the looks are slightly peculiar, the overall situation is still satisfying. This shows that even the story of 30 years ago still has its charm today. If the producer can more confidently present the original plot in its entirety, I believe it will be more popular. Probably due to the cost of special effects, the series has reservations in this regard.
5, "Sleepless Season 2".
The series closely follows the hot events in today's world and touches on some sensitive social topics. The production team was bold and cautious in their handling of this sensitive content, resulting in a brilliant production. Although the plot is extremely realistic, the influence of its Western ideology cannot be ignored. Viewers may have doubts about the authenticity in the series, but that's what makes it appealing.
6, "Blood Red Coast".
This drama is somewhat similar to "Outlaw", but it is slightly inferior in some aspects. The plot concept is slightly weak, and the performance of both gangsters and police officers seems to be IQ**. The actor's performance is acceptable, but overall, the plot seems a bit far-fetched. The portrayal of current social phenomena in France is also controversial, especially the crime rate of ethnic minorities. Despite the shortcomings of the plot, the shootouts and action scenes are quite well made, especially the unexpected final ending of the Indian characters.
