For "Streamers", Apple TV+ made a big move and gathered a group of fairy top-notch actors to help it.
Gary Oldman, known as Dog Daddy, he is Sirius in "Harry Potter", or British Prime Minister Churchill in "The Darkest Hour", the new Oscar emperor in 2021, plastic surgery-like acting, the strength of the old drama bone, with him, the whole drama is stable.
There is also the post-90s actor Jack Louden, who is affectionately called Old Deng by domestic audiences, and in the 2016 BBC historical drama "War and Peace", Old Deng played the young cavalry officer Nikolai Rostov, a young and handsome man who shined on the screen.
With 2017's "Dunkirk", the elder Deng became famous in one fell swoop, was well known to the audience, and later fell in love with "Little Women" star Ailsha Ronan.
Goddess-level veteran drama bone Kristen Scott Thomas, abbreviated KTS, with the french director Romain. Polanski's "Bitter Moon" turned out, a "Four Weddings and a Funeral" left a deep impression on the audience, a "British Patient" made her recognized by the international film world, and in recent years, she has also worked with Dog Daddy to play Churchill's wife in "The Darkest Hour".
She has a strong creative power, as well as a charming performance, "Flowing People" has her, not only the icing on the cake.
In addition, there are Olivia Cook, the actor of Emma in "Baez Inn", and Jonathan Preson, the great leader in "Game of Thrones", etc.
Compared with other dramas, "Streamers" won many chips in the cast lineup, and won the game steadily.
Apple is also full of confidence in the show, and has renewed the second season before the first season is broadcast.
What about the story?
Spy war theme, rich British drama flavor.
Adapted from Mick Herron's novel series of the same name, the story revolves around an abnormal secret service in MI5, The Lowe Department, which is shabby and tattered compared to headquarters, and everyone who works here has committed a major crime before being exiled to the headquarters.
The title of the play, "Streamers", takes its meaning, the exiled people.
Eight minutes before the opening, tense and exciting, it tells the story of a failed MI5 operation.
The reason for the failure is only a mistake in the transmission of information.
Whether it is a white shirt blue T-shirt or a blue shirt white T-shirt, no one can say clearly.
River Cartwright, the head of the field operation, also died because of the failure of the operation, and the great career suddenly died.
Fortunately, grandpa, who had served in MI5, came forward and was not directly fired, but transferred to the unpopular Slough department.
When I arrived at Slough's department, life was not good.
Department boss Jackson Lamb, played by the dog daddy, is bohemian, untrimmed, eating and sleeping in the office, and even his socks are both torn.
He was also rude to his new subordinate, River, who did not tell him any information, but only let him go through the garbage of a reporter every day.
For River's past of failed actions, it is a daily must-mention, and it is a trick to stimulate, demean, and ridicule this young man.
River could only take a long sigh and continue to go back to the garbage.
What about goddess KTS? Playing the commander-in-chief Diana, a strong woman who does things fiercely, unlike Jackson Lamb, she stands on the bright side and has a much higher position authority than Slough's department.
The Slough division, although not far from the MI5 center, is a long and insurmountable distance from the intelligence core.
So, what is the significance of the existence of this department?
There are always movements that can't be dried in the sun, requiring a detachment from the center such as the Slough department to get their hands dirty.
River, whose career was aborted, was full of reluctance and wanted to work hard to change all this, and on this basis, River also began to do whatever it took.
Such a story is good to look at.
At present, "Streamer" has been launched in the first two episodes, a total of only 6 episodes, and partners who like British dramas can rest assured that they will enter the pit.
