Critics were amazed by this new drama that jumped out of the spy drama, and it has received rave reviews:
Critics love the show for its unique take on a spy thriller, which has been done time and time again without adding anything new.
The play is even more exciting because of the excellent performances of the two heroines.
It&x27;s surprising, fun, seductive, and is even more thrilling because of the intoxicating performances from its female leads.
Villanelle is an elegant female killer. Like to approach the target task slowly, and chat with each other.
She looks sweet and pleasant, not at all like a cold female killer in the traditional sense.
Besides, she wears beautifully every time she plays! In addition to the killer's essential windbreaker, she also wears dreamy girlish skirts.
wearing a pink plush jacket to kill, is also very fresh and refined.

The "cat and mouse" between two women, the chemical reaction produced is a bit different from that between men!
A VeryEnglish Scandal
British-style scandal
Douban score: 8.9
A Very English Scandal British-style scandal
The drama is based on real life. At the end of the 1960s, Britain had just decriminalised homosexuality, but Jeremy Thorpe, the leader of the Liberal Party at the time, had hidden a secret-he had a former homosexual, Norman Scott.
Jeremy was murderous for such a heartache. He planned a murder, but in the end not only failed, he was also accused of intent to murder. Jeremy Thorpe therefore became the first British politician to be tried for the murder, and his gay identity was even more known to the public.
This short and powerful three-episode British drama can be said to be very exciting, with a compact plot and repeated climaxes, turning a political scandal into a comedy full of British black humor.
"Guardian" commented:
The whole thing leaves you reeling, seething and laughing, all at the same time. It's both scandalous and very English. . It is indeed both appalling and extremely British.
The two protagonists of this play are the biggest highlights.
Forget the romantic and suave "British lover"...
Hugh Grant plays the ambitious Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe in this drama, fully digging into his greasy middle-aged and old cunning side The evil temperament of...
Ben Whishaw's slightly neurotic acting skills are still fascinating as always...
Norman Scott, who he plays, seems to be a foolish white sweet who is deceived, crying at every turn, but Has tenacious vitality.
gave his testimony in the final trial. He gave a speech with amazing explosive power and tears filled his eyes.
In short, this is a good show not to be missed. It is humorous and ironic, and it is extremely pleasant to look at. After the hilarious laughter, you will also think about the sordidness of British politics and the contrast between the present and the past of gay living.
McMafia
Goldman family
Douban score: 8.6
McMafia Goldman family
The theme of this play combines traditional gangsters and modern finance.
Alex Godman, the English-raised son of Russian mafia exiles, has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of their past, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend, Rebecca.
Alex grew up in England and his father was The Mafia from exile in Russia. Alex has been trying to escape from his dark past, working hard to establish his own legal affairs, and living with his girlfriend Rebecca.
But when a murder unearths his family&x27;s past, Alex is drawn into the criminal underworld where he must confront his values to protect those he loves.
However, a murder case revealed his family past. In order to protect the loved one, Alex was once again pulled back into the world of crime.....The
male protagonist Alex established his own power through the financial war, step by step to disintegrate the traditional international business line of the Russian gang boss, and finally replaced it.
In addition to the color of some traditional gangster themes, this drama does not take the usual path- family ethics is very large.
So don’t worry about this drama being too "gangsterized". There are also many warm images in it. It is a murderous gangster movie...
After introducing the new drama, I will recommend several existing dramas. The new season of these dramas still received numerous praises.
The Good Fight
The Good Fight season two
Douban score: 9.5
The Good Fight The second season of The Good Fight
As a derivative drama of "The Good Wife", the second season of "The Good Fight" currently has a rating of 9.5 on Douban. To guard against the sky, fully surpass the mother drama.
In season two of The Good Fight, the world is going insane, and the Chicago murder rate is on the rise. Amidst the insanity, Diane, Lucca, Maia and the rest of the law firm find themselves under psychological assault when a client at another firm kills his lawyer for overcharging.
The plot is getting more and more exciting, and it points to current abuses, the case closely follows current affairs hotspots, and it is even more difficult to beat Trump...
With a mix of real-world politics, social commentary, and just plain old good legal drama tropes, The Good Fight crafted a near-perfect season of TV.
The biggest highlight of this drama is undoubtedly the character development of the three heroines Diane, Lucca and Maia......
They live and work. The struggle, growth and transformation on the Internet have become the key words of "War of Proud".
If you want to watch a real heroine drama and feel the brilliance and toughness and independence of women of different ages, then don't miss this good drama with a burst of reputation.

"Western World" Season 2
has been calling for endless calls, and finally waited for the second season of "Western World".
is the same as in the first season, and in the second season, I still keep guessing. Or it is this kind of plot that cannot predict what will happen next that has attracted the attention of many people.
Some netizens said: "As soon as this drama is released, other American dramas will automatically decrement one star"...The number of "hardcore fans" can be imagined.
I have to say that the screenwriters of "Western World" have really big brains!
He divides people into three parts: self-consciousness, soul and body, Whether to have "consciousness" is the main difference between humans and robots.
So when the robots in the park begin to awaken and have "consciousness", they gradually remember the fact that they are actually "robots". Faced with this situation, their choice is very intriguing.
In addition, I advise everyone not to search the Internet first before watching S2. It is fun to "get out of the maze" by yourself!

What Sense8 was always good at were the small moments with our core cast. Seeing how they went about their lives. Seeing them interact with one another. Seeing them come to love one another and themselves. This is where the movie truly shines.
One of the more attractive aspects of this drama is the development of the plot. The direction seems to be east, but when you look at it, it turns out to be west. This reversal of charm makes people want to stop.
Friendly reminder, the ending is sensational, please bring your own tissues.
