Here's the reading guide: Because there are still many people who haven't seen [Super Sense Hunting], so I will briefly talk about the plot of the first season, if you want to jump directly to the content of the second season, directly pull to the gray dividing line and look down!
However, whether you have watched this drama or not, don't miss this one!
Born on August 8, 8 strangers from 8 cities around the world with different identities have achieved synaesthesia because of a mysterious event - they can perceive and even travel to the lives of other people, and have since begun to play the life game of remote group boss.
After achieving synaesthesia, not only can the four emotions of the human world be sensed, but even the "great aunt" and orgasm can be shared.
For example, South Korea's chaebol Big Miss Sun was depressed because of abdominal pain during menstruation, and Lito, a deep cabinet actor in Mexico, was also affected, and his emotional collapse once led to his inability to shoot the film of the day.
▲ Lito, who suddenly cried like a baby on the set
And the first time and every subsequent group P, it was also done through synaesthesia!
And the envy is yet to come — after the emotional connection of the mind, they begin to "share" each other's skills.
▲ There is no lock in this world that Wolfgang can't open
Eight of them come from different fields: Policeman Will, DJ Riley, Hacker Nomi, Actor Lito, Thief Lock King Wolfgang, Pharmacist Carla, Karate Master Good, and Driver Kepps.
I don't think it's okay to look at it alone, but these skills together are against the sky. For example, the African boy Kepps and the Korean girl mastered korean without a teacher, and beat the gang with karate alone.
▲ So cute, if there is no karate queen possessed, it would have been beaten down by the gang
A righteous policeman, Will, with the help of acting Pailito, successfully seduces his sister and learns where Riley is being held.
They are like 8 computers connected to the same cloud disk, they need any skill to share at any time, brain waves, and even do not have to worry about downloading network speed.
However, while they were getting to know each other and accepting each other, whisperers sent by an organization called the BPO began to hunt them down, and he was eager to beat the eight-person group to the skull.
At the end of the first season, Riley is captured, and Will travels from Chicago to Iceland to rescue her, rescued with the help of six other partners, but is empathetic because of the gaze with the Whisperer, but synaesthesia is two-way.
------------------ I'm the gray dividing line for season two------------------
The Group of Eight has been nervously hunted and escaped in the first season, but because of Will and the Whisperers' synaesthesia, not only the BPO organization can know their location, but the eight can also use synaesthesia to understand each other.
Therefore, the second season not only has hunting, but also counter-killing.
While cutting off the whisperer's visit with the help of drugs, Will uses each residual consciousness to synaesthesia with the other party, and gives full play to his police attributes - super logical analysis ability.
But the Whisperer is also not a vegetarian, and he judges that Will and Riley are still hiding in Iceland by the sound of seagulls and waves outside the window, the room is full of Icelandic goods, and the local specialty "Three Sisters Farm Yogurt".
However, these may also be forgeries to confuse the other party.
In the process of hunting and counter-killing, the second season also solved many of the "legacy problems" of the first season - where the super sense came from, why the BPO hunted the super sense group, why the whisperer can also understand and so on.
Here's a third question:
Both the synaesthesia whisperers and jonas, who was both right and wrong in the first season, prove that there is more than one empathetic group in the world, and that they are either hunted down by BPO and are hidden somewhere in the world.
So the new super sense group that appeared in the second season is either enemies or allies.
Continuing the super-flamming "Icelandic Rescue" at the end of the first season, this season ends with the rescue of The German Little Brother Wolfgang, but the difference is that this time the eight-person team really gets together to rescue their trapped family.
▲ Don't you want to catch us every day? No, we came in person!
In addition to the intense hunting game, the Super Sense Eight has done a lot of things this season:
After escaping from prison, Shan is finally ready to seek revenge on his father's brother.
▲Also officially complained by his brother: What? My sister has become a Terminator?
Copps, a black man living in the slums, made a Kochi girlfriend and ran for elections. Lito, who was forced to come out, overcame his inner cowardice and bravely spoke out with his boyfriend on the "São Paulo Gay Pride Festival".
Nomi, a transgender woman, confessed openly to her family at her sister's wedding, and finally took the first step of reconciliation, and proposed to her girlfriend who accompanied her all the way.
More focused than the first season on knowing who the people who are synaesthesia with them are, this season's content echoes the theme "Who am I" and digs deep into everyone's heart.
As an American drama
[Super Sense Hunting] is worth a look
Not only because it is called a drama version [Cloud Atlas].
Even more so
Under the cool sci-fi coat
It also envelops the mundane life
As early as before it was broadcast, it was rumored on the Internet that [Super Sense Hunting] was a TV drama version of [Yuntu].
First of all, it's probably because the Wachowski sisters, the writers and directors, are the creators of The Super Sense Hunt, who once again skillfully demonstrate their ability to shape complex story structures.
In addition to them, the director's lineup includes Tom Tikwe, who has worked with them, and James McTig, who has worked with them. One of the Asian actors in the play is also a Korean actor Who starred in [Yuntu].
▲ The second season also appeared in the mask of [V-Word Vendetta], the rhythm of paying tribute to himself?
Secondly, the plot is also similar to [Yuntu] - it quickly switches between different countries and different characters, and as the story progresses, the inextricable details and preparations are gradually connected to form a complete plot chain.
The family love of the eight people in the play, growing up and retreating, helping each other, especially later digging out each other's hearts and lungs, as said in [Yuntu]:
Our lives are not just our own. From the womb to the grave, we are intimately connected to others. Every good deed, every evil deed, affects our future.
However, [Cloud Atlas] plays the time cycle of the vertical dimension, and [Super Sense Hunting] is the spatial span of the horizontal dimension. Those who have seen both will find that the story line of the latter is more complex, and the relationship between the characters is more close and clever.
After all, [Yuntu] 3 hours of the film is already very long, but there are still many details that cannot be explained clearly, and only a long-form TV series can tell such a grand structure of the story clearly.
▲The first counter-killing
In addition, this drama also has the shadow of [The Matrix], which deepens the concept of [hacker] in terms of "human flesh" sharing data and remote operation, after all, in 1999, everyone was still dialing the Internet by phone, and now it is cloud sharing.
▲ I want this kind of cloud sharing
But compared to [hackers]'s grand philosophical views of truth and falsehood, freedom, "who am I" and so on, [the supersensory hunting] brings pure philosophical speculation in addition to sensory stimulation. The discussion of "individual and collective social identity" proposition of "who I am" is the clue that runs through [supersensory hunting].
The characters who appear in this play are heterosexual, homosexual, and undefinable pansexual, and the in-depth exploration of sexual orientation is all-encompassing.
But even with a lot of LGBT elements, it's not limited to that, except for a pair of lilies and a pair of bases in the play, every other character has their own troubles — racial issues, equal rights between men and women, the gap between rich and poor, religious disputes.
And no matter what kind of dilemma they are in, they are completing their identity - police officer Will longs for the approval of the father of the old policeman, the good in the patriarchal society also wants the father to see himself, and Carla in the same social environment does not even dare to say what she wants in her heart.
Carla's conservatism and hesitation are in stark contrast to the other seven in the play
Erich Fromm wrote in The Art of Love that people have become evasive of freedom in order to gain belonging and identity in groups, the simplest example of which is homosexuality hiding in a cabinet and dissidents silent.
So, in fact, the LGBT element in [Hypersensory Hunting] is just one of the entrances to the discussion of "Who am I".
In the case of the Wachowski sisters, even with a cultural work like [The Matrix] in hand, their decision to transgender has been subjected to pressure and sideways glances from all sides of society.
Nomi, a transgender character seen as based on Lana Wachowski, is male to female, and her sexual orientation is still female, bluntly pointing out the inevitability between sexual orientation and gender identity.
She is played by Jamie Clayton, who is also a transgender person in reality. Probably because of the creators' own experience and attitude, it is only because of the creators' own experiences that [Super Sense Hunting] is more real.
▲The creators had a lot of fun at the "São Paulo Gay Pride Festival"
In one scene, Lito, a movie star who was exposed to bed photos, was questioned by reporters on the red carpet, and on the other side, The black Cops in Africa was also questioned by reporters for his racial problems because of his portrayal of the white Shange Winton as an idol.
At that moment, the eight of them achieved synaesthesia, answered the reporter with amazing words, and even more answered the world:
Who am I? In fact, like you, not stronger than you, not weaker than you.
What they want to say is that they are gay, they are black, they are women, but they are also normal people like millions of people in the world.
Even when they find themselves to be super-touching people who can empathize, the fear they experience — learning to accept — and enjoying — is a process of self-identity.
Nowadays, from the world pattern to the individual life, the surface is harmonious, and the actual dispute is endless. Wachowski transformed from brother to sister to sister, using his works to speak out, trying to find ways to resolve differences.
As In [The Super Sense Hunt: Christmas Special], when Lito was forced to come out and go home to apologize to his mother, his mother said:
There's nothing to be sorry about.
Whether it's super touching or gay, or people with different skin colors and customs, what should we do when we meet? Do you hug each other or hunt each other?
Maybe we just need to remember – people, born different.
P.S. Netflix released the whole season at once, and the background replied to "drive" to obtain two seasons of resources, and it was better to brush the look and feel in one breath^ ^^
