The TVB drama "The Case Against the Sky 2" co-starred by Chen Zhanpeng, Lin Xiawei, Fang Lishen, Huang Zhixian, Jiang Zuman, Zhang Yingkang, Liu Peiyue, Feng Yingying, etc., ushered in the finale on the evening of the 10th.
At this point, the audience can finally make a final evaluation of this drama. As a fan who watched the finale from the first episode, the editor's feeling is that this is a very mediocre work, most of the so-called strange cases are outrageous, and the ability of the positive side is obviously weakened, as if the case cannot be solved without foreign aid, and the reason why the biggest crisis has been solved is just the discovery of the villain's own conscience.
I say this for a reason. Taking the Hador armed squad incident as an example, the police sent the Flying Tigers (SDU), the VIP Protection Group (G4), the Police Escort Group, and the O Ji to jointly escort the Hador's big man to the airport, but as a result, 5 militants directly raided, not only successfully killed the big man, but also caused 6 people from G4 and the Flying Tiger Team to die in the line of duty, 2 people were critically injured, 5 people were seriously injured, and many police officers were injured. If it weren't for the change in the situation in Hador, where three people were killed in the militants' infighting, and one person was shot and killed by Huo Taishen, I am afraid the police would have to pay a greater price.
After Professor Tang's official appearance, the police began to rely heavily on foreign aid, Wei Zile needed him for treatment and nesting, and 30 years ago, the dry bone case relied on him to read the thoughts of the vegetative brain to successfully close the case, and wanted to find Erna and Qiao Tianzu, two computer geniuses, to help investigate Wei Zile's dark web bounty and stop the mysterious man Perses from acting, or Professor Tang as an intermediary to arrange a meeting to untie the knot. At this point, the main task of the police can no longer be separated from Professor Tang, Erna, and Qiao Tianzu.
When Professor Tang's identity as the boss behind the scenes was revealed (i.e., Perses), the police were completely played by him, and the only frustration came from Erna and Qiao Tianzu, the two computer elites successfully cut off the source of funds for his account for the operation. For this reason, he hired someone to get Qiao Tianzu into a coma in the hospital, causing the police to rely on Erna to defend passively.
There is no doubt that as the opponent of the police, Professor Tang has been at ease and step-by-step to advance the action, but because he fell in love with Ah Win, he had a flaw, first because of jealousy and set up a situation to frame Sen Sir and waste energy and resources, and then because of saving the dog Xiaobai from falling off the cliff and completely discovered his conscience, after being rescued, he used his mobile phone to call the order to stop the attack that was ready to be carried out and the police were powerless to prevent it, resulting in his true identity gradually being exposed.
In episodes 29 and 30, Wei Zile, whose brain was gradually healing, successfully escaped and planned a dirty bomb attack, and Professor Tang, who had escaped pursuit and had the opportunity to leave Hong Kong while the police's attention was focused on the dirty bomb building, took the initiative to appear again. This time, he realized that he wanted to be a good person, and asked to go to the rooftop to dismantle the bomb instead of Sen Sir and Nic Sir to make up for his past mistakes, and finally paid the price of his life to defuse the bomb successfully, and a city catastrophe disappeared.
The above examples and plots are enough to show that the police ability of "Strange Case Against the Sky 2" is significantly weaker than that of the first part, and most of the time when facing the villain, they are powerless, and they completely rely on foreign help and the villain's conscience. To tell the truth, this reminds me of the anime "Detective Conan", in which it is difficult for the police to solve the case without Conan's covert help.
Finally, what I want to say is that "Strange Case Against the Sky 2" is mediocre enough, and "Strange Case Against Bad Weather 3" is not necessary, but if it has the strong support of the financier and TVB itself wants to make more money, then don't make the positive side too incompetent, and the script must be polished a little more finely.
