Hello everyone! Today, we are going to talk about the hot topic that has attracted widespread attention recently - the TV series "Detective Chinatown 2". Since it aired, the show's bad reviews have been pouring in like a tidal wave. Everyone is saying that the plot is floating, the screenwriter seems to be making things up, and the audience's realism is completely pressed under the water, and they can't breathe. So, let's take a look at it today, what are the "ideas" that make "Detective Chinatown 2" become the target of public criticism.
Detective Chinatown 2 is set in a cross-border setting from the beginning, and Chinatown is the place where the story takes place, allowing the screenwriter's imagination to fly boundlessly. However, this also makes the logic of the plot shaky, as if a high-rise building hanging in mid-air, which seems spectacular, but in fact it is full of dangers. Crime suspense dramas need elaborate layouts and tight logic, rather than flying aimlessly in boundless space. This kind of whimsical writing undoubtedly disappointed many viewers who pursue logical rigor.
Let's take a look at the first case in the play. has only two episodes of the plot, and countless fans have already guessed the ending, and this kind of plot with a high transparency that can predict the ending is undoubtedly a failure. If this case can be closely revolved around the logic of real life, the audience will feel more real and credible. However, the cases in the play seem to float at will in a borderless world, without the restrictions of reality, and the most attractive part of the suspense drama - realism is lost.
Next, let's talk about the plot of the illegal trade in human organs. The dentist's clinic surgery and dark web trading in the play may sound interlinked, but when you think about it, it's full of loopholes. The screenwriter didn't put a lot of effort into the details, and in the end, the plot was like a sketch sketched with broad lines, lacking detailed depictions, making it hard for the audience to believe and emotionally engage.
The "big mesh" problem of the plot also appears in the second case that follows. This case eventually points to a mysterious organization called "Mystery", but this organization is like a panacea, any suspense can eventually be stuffed into it, such a plot handling method reminds people of some theatrical thrillers, which always find a "dream" to end hastily when they can't explain it.
The screenwriter also seems to realize the seriousness of the problem, so he tries to create a stinging point in the opening details of the case, trying to attract the audience. For example, the depiction of the life of the low-level migrant workers in the play tries to increase the immersion of the plot through this realistic approach. But unfortunately, this effort is like lighting a firework, which is dazzling for a moment, but quickly disappears in an empty plot. The audience will soon discover that these so-called "stinging points" are only superficial decorations and cannot hide the deep logical loopholes.
What's more, the behavior patterns and psychological activities of some characters in the play are also incredible. Policemen, detectives, suspects, each character is like reading their own script, without any intersection. Their decisions are often unexpected, but not of surprise, but of the question: "Is this true?"Will such a person really exist in reality?"This kind of setting that goes against common sense makes it difficult to take any plot in the play seriously.
Of course, we can't completely negate all the efforts of Detective Chinatown 2. After all, the entertainment industry is diverse, and there are always people who like whimsical stories. But the problem is that even the most unrealistic stories need to have a certain basis in reality, so that the audience can enjoy the fantasy while still feeling a sense of down-to-earth security. And this show clearly doesn't do that.
The absurdity and lack of realism of the plot eventually led to the reputation of "Detective Chinatown 2" plummeting. The audience's complaints about the plot are like endless backgrounds**, which continue. In the midst of such noise, we have to think about how the entertainment industry should balance business and art, reality and fantasy, in order to create works that can not only relax the mind, but also bring deep thought?
