After two years, the second season of "Silent Angel" has quietly come online, and I am strange that this drama is obviously a good script, and the cast is also interesting, but there is no discussion.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Alienist" was the popular name for psychiatrists at the end of the nineteenth century, presumably referring to "outlier"! </h1>
The story also takes place in New York in 1897, when a newly born mother was accused of killing her baby, and the trial was full of doubts, but the prisoners were powerless to argue, and with the help of the black hand behind the scenes, they eventually died in the electric chair.
The investigation trio, a detective, a psychiatrist, and a newspaper reporter pull out the "extra-case case" while pursuing the case, and then start a plot of wit and courage with the prisoners.
In fact, the story itself is relatively mediocre, there are no surprises, but the advantage is that it is stable and stable, and it is easy to understand the story in an orderly manner.
Detective Sara Howard, played by Dakota Fanning, is the trio's chief attacker, fierce and fierce, single-handedly committing crimes, and can also be called a force.
And most of the cases in this season revolve around female characters, she also has a more emotional and gentle side in the face of the prisoner, and the sympathy for the prisoner reminds her of the childhood shadow buried deep in her heart, if there is a third season in this show, then it should focus on the story of Sara Howard's past, right?
Compared with the first season, this time the script spent a lot of time to shape the villain, and the actor really acted well, at the same time, there is a drama in the eyes, I can empathize with it when I watch the play, and the other supporting roles have their own signs, especially the bearded detective who is also good and evil is the most intriguing.
This season's feminist consciousness is portrayed more often, such as: a woman has the ability to procreate but does not mean that she must have children, she has the right to have children or not, not for some value or someone, if she does not give birth to children voluntarily, it will only add more misfortune.
This is also why Sara Howard has been rejecting John Moore, because she knows that her background, career, mentality, etc. are not suitable for having children, and she originally thought that they would cultivate this time, but she ended up looking lonely.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > particularly liked a passage she said to the subordinates of the all-girls class in the last episode:</h1>
"Our offices on Broadway were illuminated with electricity, and before that people used kerosene lamps, and before that, candles made of whale oil, and people who made candles with whale oil would never have foreseen these changes in the future.
We may be judged as women, but we must remember that we are detectives, and whether we wear skirts or pants, it has nothing to do with the work we do.
It's human nature to make mistakes, and we sometimes fail, but we shouldn't be overwhelmed by failure."
Another thing to appreciate is the play's epochal backdrop, the statue of Liberty that has stood at the head of the tide, the Williamsburg Bridge and manhattan bridge under construction, an oil lamp burning at night, horse-drawn carriages of various styles, muddy and damp streets, and so on.
If you like to study the era and the history of the development of the city, you should like this drama, because whether it is the set, street scene, costumes, props, etc., the chronological elements are very elaborate, which is called pleasing to the eye.
