During the holidays, the last "series of Amway" was held.
This time, five unit dramas are recommended. Compared with the super long American dramas with seasons as long as five seasons and ten seasons, such a series looks too cool -
《No.9 Secret》
Inside No.9
From 2014 to the present, "Secret Affair No. 9" has been produced for a total of five seasons.
Like Black Mirror, each episode is a separate story. There is little connection between the stories, except that they all take place in a room with the number "9".
This room can be a hotel, a train box, an office...
The theme of each episode is also interesting, and the things I want to express are very varied. Some are eerie and terrifying, some are absurd and bizarre, and some are full of literary flavor.
The whole drama relies on only one set, a handful of actors, dense lines and a large number of amazing reversals to create one exciting plot after another.
Although the style of each episode is far from the same, it has one common feature:
It's hard to guess the final reversal!
Philip Dick's Electronic Dream
Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams
Electronic Dreams is based on a short story by Philip Dick, with each episode being an independent story.
These stories, though less famous than those of novels, explore fascinating scientific questions.
A total of 10 episodes, the form is somewhat similar to the god 'Black Mirror'.
Although they are all science fiction genres, each episode only tells a separate story. But in digging into the dark side of society and human nature, this drama does not lose "Black Mirror" at all.
The Ring Story
Tales From The Loop
The "ring" in the translated name is a mysterious object set up in the story of a small town underground, and its role is to decrypt and explore the mysteries of the universe.
And because of the existence of the ring, people living in this town will occasionally encounter some fantastic things.
"The Tale of the Ring" is about the fantasy experiences of these "lucky ones".
Each episode is about 50 minutes long, and each episode is a basically independent story, but because the protagonists of the story are all people in the town, there will be some connection between the protagonists of each episode.
Each story of "Ring Story" has a science fiction color, and the eight episodes contain time travel, soul exchange, and parallel worlds.
In addition, the composition and picture of this drama are also very good, which makes people look very comfortable...
Emergency Call for Help
9-1-1
The setting of "Emergency Call for Help" is very interesting, mainly about the high pressure, danger and shock that the police, 911 operators and firefighters face every day.
Each episode will tell one or more stories that are both thrilling and exciting. Various elements such as suspense thriller, love, family, etc. will be involved.
For example, a pair of brothers go to play roller coasters, but the roller coaster is hung upside down in the air due to failure;
The owner of a lizard held a food contest, and someone choked up and called the police to say that it was protein that was eaten. When the firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that the game was full of live insects, grasshoppers, cockroaches....
A plane that suddenly lost control could only make an emergency landing at sea, but because the impact was too strong, it crashed into two pieces.
Rescuers not only face an out-of-control fire, but also have to deal with the crisis of sinking to the bottom of the sea in a matter of minutes...
Although the tone of this drama is a variety of first aid incidents, what is more heart-wrenching is the trust and warmth of first responders to each other, and how they solve their own problems.
In addition, this drama also involves gender and species Z discrimination, marriage problems, career choices, etc., more or less will poke everyone's pain points.
"Lost in Time and Space"
The Twilight Zone
At the end of the 1950s, CBS produced this "Lost Time and Space" (also known as the Yin and Yang Demon World) drama, which discussed a series of issues such as future science fiction, artificial intelligence, butterfly effect, and dimensional space. There are five seasons and 156 episodes. Each episode is a 20-plus minute standalone story with big brains and chilling reversals and satire. Douban and IMDb are both 9 points+.
As one of the most important works in the history of American television in the 20th century, the success of "Lost in Time and Space" has influenced many later works.
For example, the first episode of "Empty City Plan", after watching it, can make you think of the later hit movie "Truman's World"; the 24-episode "Long Live Walter" can be associated with "This Man Comes from Earth"...
I really can't imagine that this drama is a work more than 60 years ago, which is too advanced.
That's what today's recommendations are.
