Storyline
Featured review
In line with the previous "The Confidence Man JP" series, the screenplay writer has the formula to write the whole episode:
1. The main characters start to trick someone.
2. And then they seem to be screwed.
3. And then, HAHA, everything is anticipated and under control.
4. And finally, a happy ending with some emotion or life tenets.
The problem is that there are no hints, foreshadowing, or Easter eggs about the twist in the regular timeline before everything is revealed. All the expected "unexpected" twists come from some plots deliberately hidden from the audience, as if it is another story. Therefore, the audience cannot appreciate the cleverness of the main characters since their success results from another set of facts. Also, the "hidden" trick is expected: they set up a show to lure the victims.
One more thing, I have a CS background. I think the tricks the main characters use are often an insult to our information age when most of the information they make up can actually be refuted by simply googling or doing more cross-checks.
