《風(fēng)騷律師第一季》是一部非常精彩的電視劇,它不僅有扣人心弦的劇情,還有出色的演員表演和精彩的對白。劇中的角色形象鮮明,每個人物都有自己獨特的性格和故事,給觀眾留下了深刻的印象。劇情緊湊,充滿了懸念和反轉(zhuǎn),讓人始終保持著高度的關(guān)注度。此外,劇中還融入了一些喜劇元素,使整個故事更加有趣和輕松??偟膩碚f,《風(fēng)騷律師第一季》是一部非常出色的電視劇,它不僅給觀眾帶來了娛樂,還引發(fā)了對法律界黑暗面的思考。
《風(fēng)騷律師》第一季放送完畢。如果把本劇單獨拎出來看,它風(fēng)格實在怪異:沒有緊湊的故事線,對細(xì)節(jié)強迫癥般的考究,充斥著令人莫名其妙的人物,第6集時跳出主線講了老麥為子復(fù)仇的故事(順便一提,這一集在IMDb的評分為全季最高),第10集時Jimmy在老友死后決定做回自己,而導(dǎo)致他做出如此重大轉(zhuǎn)變的這位“老友”,總共也沒幾個鏡頭。
事實是,最好別把本劇單獨拎出來看。雖然老麥的復(fù)仇故事很好看,如果聯(lián)系《絕命毒師》里的情節(jié),這個故事會更好看。AMC在《風(fēng)騷律師》還沒播時就宣布預(yù)訂兩季,如果沒有《絕命毒師》,這個待遇殊難想象,正因為此,《風(fēng)騷律師》才能按人物傳記片的風(fēng)格走,它節(jié)奏緩慢,卻華麗精致,表現(xiàn)Jimmy落魄生活的每一個鏡頭都自成風(fēng)格,新奇的拍攝角度、大量的運動鏡頭、膠片感十足的色調(diào),都在不斷提醒觀眾,這里的世界觀與《絕命毒師》相同。
主創(chuàng)對《絕命毒師》的深度利用是否值得,即,這種熟悉感是否會傷害《風(fēng)騷律師》的獨特價值,我還不敢說,至少目前為止,這部劇看起來賞心悅目。
節(jié)奏緩慢的另一個好處是,它在敘事上尤其沉得住氣,不輕易抖出包袱?!讹L(fēng)騷律師》的前幾集看起來鬼氣森森,Hamlin對Jimmy的敵意,Chuck的心理疾病以及Jimmy在正邪兩途不斷的掙扎,都為第9集Chuck這個臥底老大的暴露埋下伏筆,也為重人物、輕故事的本劇增添了故事張力。第10集主持Bingo活動時,Jimmy面對不斷出現(xiàn)有違統(tǒng)計學(xué)知識的B,不斷在brother和betrayal之間徘徊,本劇對于這種徘徊的表現(xiàn),以美劇的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量,實在耗時太長了,但不如此,又達不到季末Jimmy放棄會議重回舊路的戲劇力度。這時的Jimmy終于找回了自己。
也正是季末集點明了第一季的中心——Jimmy的道德困境。作為一個小混混,他如魚得水,自在快樂,當(dāng)Chuck把他從監(jiān)獄撈出來后,他第一次對自己的人生產(chǎn)生的懷疑,開始試圖走上Chuck的道路,找一份正經(jīng)工作,完成函授課程,通過律師考試,成為律所合伙人。遺憾的是,他在最后一步卡住了,卡住他的人,如劇所言,正是Chuck。一個小混混想走正路,成為成功人士,卻被親哥哥告知,即使走上正路,也只能混底層。
在Jimmy的世界里,他與騙子同伙狡詐貪婪,被他們騙的人愚蠢貪婪,每個人都一樣貪婪。當(dāng)他改邪歸正之后,所遇見的還是貪婪,只不過在另一個層面上。那對笨得可愛的夫婦、為這對夫婦脫罪的HHM律所、心理跟所住的房子一樣黑暗的Chuck,全部都貪婪無比。這里最善良的人反而是Jimmy,充滿魅力、精明、頑強、堅持原則(面對一大袋子錢都沒拿),在這條善良的路上,Jimmy走得艱難無比。
所以轉(zhuǎn)向成為一種必然。當(dāng)然,本劇的開篇已經(jīng)為觀眾指明了他的結(jié)局,跑路,到快餐店打工,重回底層。這更加重了本劇的悲劇本質(zhì):一個不斷掙扎的人,在道德天平的兩端都下場慘淡。
