Sometimes your client could be your best sensei and Harper is lucky to have one.

First Yasmin. Bad, too bad. She is the one fell for the lie and handed over the rich Italian client to Kenny without getting anything in return and by chance elevated the newbie (who is an ambitious bitch by appearance, god forbids me). I actually quite like Yasmin. The girl is from money, kind in nature and she knows how to deal with people with money, especially the one with a familly office. PWM is a perfect place to play her strength: her multi-lingual ability, her well-connected famiity with ties in Middle East and Europe (EMEA) and it does not require strong technicalities. She is troubled by her weakness in financial know-how and that is why she needs Kenny in the first place. But does Kenny really know much about crypto currencies and its investment rationale (I mean who can? Is it a commoidity? Is it a security? The SEC is still uncertain about its nature and the roller-coaster movement of its price says much about it). By taking Kenny to the meeting she made the biggest mistake a seasoned sales person would never make: open your client book to your competition, hoping they would deliver something in return but only to find out it is a wish in vein. I really wish she can learn something from Celeste and am happy to see her grow.

Second Harper. Good, very good. One thing about Harper I admire the most is her ability to see through bullshits and make a choice best for her at the moment. In Season One the bullshit is "women help women and we the woman should push out the man and take control of the bank." In this episode the bullshit is the pep-talk given by Eric in the beginning and the worthless fountain pen to buy her loyalty and deference.

In episode 2, Harper landed Jesse by proving her essentiality in the block trade and clinched Jesse as her first VIP client. In this episode, she needs to learn how to keep him and grow the client into her KPI. To achieve this, she needs to evolve from a trade executor to a trusted finnacial advisor. The mission is clear: should Jesse sell the Rican stocks to Felim to make a quick money or keep it to play the long game at the cost of the bank?

Kept in dark by Eric, Harper exhibited her capabilities to collect information and piece together the nips and sips to figure out the chess board. She shamelessly eavesdropped the conversation between the IBD associate and Rican and found out the scheme behind the block trade. She befriended Anna to understand what the social impact fund wants and smoothed the way for the deal between Jesse and Anna; she even nosed into the government’s predisposition on the budget diagnosis service with the input from the Pierpoint alumnus/junior cabenet member. With that, a bold investment advice was formed and a deal maker was born. Oh, did I mention how smart was the move to get back to London before the market was open and seal the deal for Jesse and leave Eric in awe? She is an assassin.

In light of all the merits, I up the rating of season 2 to 4.5 with the option to top it up. HBO is really catching up and this is how high finance should look like. Kudos to Mickey Down and Konrad Kay.

先申明，这部剧并不是完全没有优点，跟隔壁梨泰院class比起来我觉得还是好不少，但主要是第十一集的逻辑崩盘太令人震惊了，我都不知道这锅是该甩给编剧，还是导演，还是剪辑？？？？

特别是当融里庆祝苏炆恢复驱魔人身份的年会场景，真的震撼我全家。我感觉我的智商受到了极大侮辱，那个其乐融融，相拥欢庆的年会场景，简直可以列入当代现实魔幻讽刺场景的最佳案例，说编剧不是故意yygq我都不好意思信。

特别是督察撸狗时露出的笑容，我简直被惊呆在屏幕前………这是什么老来得子，家人团聚，儿孙满堂的温馨快乐特写？一瞬间我似乎都恍惚到了星爷无厘头搞笑电影现场。

真诚发问编剧是以为我失忆了？还是zz了？可不可以尊重一下我？我筷子上夹起的蛋饺肉丝都僵在嘴边。

就算是进行故事改写也要尊重一下最起码的逻辑，以及人物内心世界的平衡吧？

这我真有点匪夷所思，措手不及…………

再加上最后用秋女士来的那一波钓鱼式煽情，手法刻意又低级，真的不禁让我真诚发问，编剧莫不是个专业钓手？专门钓观众的？

果然前期期望多大，后期失望就有多大。

首先，这部剧的制作很精良，服饰、台词等等都很用心，各个演员演的也都很到位

但是，编剧你tmd就不能好好的讲个正常的故事么？？？

就拿沈老板举例吧，沈老板的儿子死在吴家东苑里面，作为一家之主的沈老板，管理着一整个商会的男人，再次也应该是个智商90的人吧，跟个弱智一样的一口咬定吴家是凶手，即便当时被愤怒冲昏了头脑，事后也该能冷静的分析出可能有其他人栽赃嫁祸吴家这种浅显的二层逻辑吧，然而并没有，商会掌事的要是这种人早都倒闭了好不好？整部剧就充斥着沈老板这种脸谱化的弱智，别人说白就是白、说黑就是黑，判断事物都是一层逻辑，居然还看到有评论说这剧人设双商都很不错，笑。

弱智并没有错，诈欺游戏里的女主每一集都能弱智的让人恨不得打死她，但整部剧却是高智商，那是因为她的人设就是个弱智，所以她再弱智也没有问题。而这剧明显存在一个人设与人物表现相冲突的问题，沈老板是个商人，但编剧把他写成了一个弱智，这就是剧情的硬伤

简而言之，这部剧的剧情用的是国产剧十多年前的套路（典型如情深深雨蒙蒙），早已过时，只能用情感戏忽悠忽悠小女生罢了，本身剧情毫无深度可言（情深深雨蒙蒙好歹反应了时代变迁及女性的女权意识）

但毕竟还没完结，可能还有编剧想真正想表达的东西，后续还会继续关注，暂且两星

-------------------------- 分割线 ---------------------------

已弃剧，md被女票拉着看能看的人气死，这弱智剧情实在tnnd受不了了，那些认为剧情还可以的人求求你们别来豆瓣了好不好，uninstall plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<<离开的女人>>电影算不上好看，也不讨好观众，但是奈人思考。电影以讲故事开始，讲故事结束，可是故事并未讲完。固定长镜头，自然光线，单线叙事，没有配乐，黑白映像，四个小时浮想联翩，画面风格强硬、故事结构有着魔幻现实主义。最后一个镜头，女主人站在一片寻人告示传单中围着自己也不知道的什么转着圈久久不能离去

祖国生日当天，观BBC《战火浮生》首集。不同于讲述一战爆发的《战前37天》的精英人物叙事，《战火浮生》讲述普通人视角下的二战。

开场是1939年4月份的曼彻斯特，英国国内法西斯分子集会。男女主跑现场唱反调被群殴。警察来把俩人抓了。从后面被保释过程，警察对法西斯分子态度模棱两可。战前西方民主国家法西斯思潮本就是一值得研究题目。

男主作为外交翻译去了波兰华沙，认识一本地女孩。在女孩家，女孩父亲问：英国人会帮波兰人么？波兰后来遭遇让人唏嘘，把国家安全寄托于人。英法盟友静坐，东邻居落井下石，东西夹击下的波兰不到一个月再次亡国。今天习讲话，有一句：没有任何力量能挡住我们前进步伐。美国人不行，无论是贸易战还是科技战。能够做到的，怕只有外星人啦。看了阅兵武器装备展示，我们有信心、有底气。

美国女记者提醒侄儿，后者不以为然，说巴黎安全着呢。以后历史证明，六个星期巴黎宣布不设防而沦陷。这条线，有一部类似题材《巴黎烟云》。不过，本剧讲同性题材。本来，为丰富内容没什不可，但像网友诟病的，为政治正确非要黑白配。要知道，那是八十年前，且不说同性本就禁忌，又涉及人种。

首集，但泽保卫战。序曲？过家家似的，50多名抵抗队伍，含六名军人。波兰女，上美照

导演借用重复性场面调度三次表现米娅用竹条抽打孩子时不同言行，让我们看到所谓的规矩和体制是如何实现对人性一步步异化过程。而女主米娅服装色彩从红到米白再到深棕的变化也是在暗示人性一步步的转变：从温暖善良到麻木冷酷，从对抗到趋同再到同流合污。而海水这一意象从最初的蔚蓝平静广阔到波涛汹涌黑暗肃穆同样在暗示人性的异化。

第一次看这个剧，纯粹无聊看看甜宠剧打发时间，开始时不被吸引，只是觉得女主看着很自然，跟一众整形网红脸区别度明显，男主嘛，勉强可以~~~~呜呜，这个勉强可以后来是啪啪打脸啊，当我真正投入进去看剧时，男主徐志贤真是越看越帅，帅出天际看不厌那种。。。。谁说偶像剧只看脸呢？这个剧脸作为第一印象给我只是七八分，后被吸引后，看进心里后，真心觉得这是为数不多的男女主同时吸引的剧集，加上甜宠+真善美的情节预设，男女主的各个情节表演值得反复看看，疗养心性，哈哈
