The process of taking hostages at the police station already seems to be the norm, but otherwise, yes, a good episode).

I hate hostage episodes to hell- they're always on the edge, to the point of goosebumps. It turned out well, and the investigation was conducted in very unusual conditions. The further I look, the more I like it, except that it's only a series once a week.

I liked that in the end, although, as usual, Morgan had sympathy for the criminal, she did not stand on ceremony with her and said that she would not forgive her for putting her daughter in danger.
It was just really in character.

@MOPE_AHAHACOB:

Due to the fact that the new year is all about holidays - and in this regard, such a break

You must have started watching American TV series quite recently, since you also ask and do not know this and are surprised by it

I've been watching them for 5 years now and I've known them for a long time, so to speak, I learned and remembered them because every year those who have a lot of episodes have about 20 ±

Although it is not yet known the exact number of episodes in this - the first season, but still, as I watched up to this point, American TV series that had 20 episodes each, they always had this, of course, we are talking about series that come out once a week - one episode every week
If anyone didn't understand

Otherwise, this Netflix series they have all season comes out on one day

While the series was being released, I managed to watch the French version, which was so admired here in the comments, and I like this option more!

Here, after all, her actions correspond to intelligence, whereas in the original we see an infantile in life and a man-trouble, who also sleeps with almost everyone she meets. And yes, there is such a thing as mentality, the expression of the original would not be to the taste of the American audience, otherwise they are so outraged about this

Oh, yes, thank God at least someone said that . I also decided to start watching the TV series "good girl" while the episodes were being released here. I read so many rave reviews about the clever girl that under almost every episode of great potential there were comments that the original is better and this series is shit and does not deserve its assessment . Of course, I understand that everyone has a taste and color, but I watched two clever girls from the strength of the series, I absolutely could not bring myself to watch further, although the plot is the same in principle. Everyone here shat on the main character, but in my opinion she is very well chosen, but she is not fiery red as in the original. Not as hyperactive as in the original . But who said that this is a minus? The fact that gg is more adequate here than in the original is a fact . And I like her even more like that. 💆♀️

@anviktoria: Yes, in the original the heroine is peculiar, very active. But this has its own highlight. For me, the two versions are very good, but it's not worth comparing. I am glad that the American version has started shooting new episodes, leaving only the idea behind.

@Amelu: I also decided to watch the original while I'm waiting for new episodes, and just went to write that the character of gg in the French version is more plausible hd
A high IQ does not guarantee good manners, for some reason we are not surprised by the same Sherlock, whose social skills border on autism. It's the same here, she has hyperactivity of the brain, so the person is very enthusiastic and constantly on edge. Hence the infantilism, and the inability to sit still, and difficulties in communication, and rebellion. Therefore, when the French Morgan says that she is constantly being fired and difficulties in building relationships, you believe her.
American Morgan is the most common for a person with an unusual brain) She is both a responsible mother and a good detective. Therefore, her words about rebellion and complicated relationships from her mouth sounded like something strange to me, until I realized that this was just a tracing paper from the original, which does not correlate with the character of this character at all.
But I like both versions. American is such a classic pretentious detective series, which has already started its own plots, so it's also interesting to watch.
French is easier, but also with more lively characters.

I went on the contrary to scold the American TV series and the main character. Well, how did they manage, it's literally now the same as 15-20 more exactly the same American TV series that they shoot every year? They had such a good idea!, and they turned it into another faded series about a police consultant. I'm watching and thinking... yeah guys, after the first season I'm probably going to say goodbye to this misunderstanding. I've already watched 20 of them, it seems to me, and I just don't want to watch 21 (Because apparently I switched to French TV series (Astrid and Rafaella, Good Girl). At least everything doesn't look like a "copy–paste" of 10 similar scenarios. The same Castle was more interesting due to what? Just due to the fact that the writer behaved defiantly in a good way and turned everything around into a mess! So is the original of the Clever Girl, is she infantile? – Yes, but it's necessary, it's literally a breath of fresh air! I don't want to look at a gray consultant who behaves like some kind of secretary. I need a bright character whose actions make me want to wallow in laughter, slap myself on the forehead, and even twist at the temple, who by his very appearance turns the "gray world" of the police upside down and topsy-turvy. Yes, even which pisses everyone off, but nowhere without it. And this one, walking back and forth in a miniskirt and that she is in the frame, that she is not, the difference is not particularly noticeable. It's bad, boring and gray.

@GoldenAlisia25: I have a feeling that Morgan was modeled with Erin Brockovich. apparently, they decided that the French character would not appeal to the American public and found the American version, which has already been time-tested, so to speak.

This episode seems to be filmed in a different way than the previous ones. As if the budget was smaller, I caught some kind of vibe from the Office, with supposedly live footage.
I love this series, but the series is average, light, nothing bad, but also not super.
As if everything is naive, somehow everything is too easy and fast. As if we should be a little exhausted in anticipation, and then everything has already been decided, and I haven't even remembered the names of the murdered and the accused yet)
But I love this series, I haven't watched it for a long time, since the Investigation of the body and I'm super high, all the characters are still so pleasant.
I can't wait for the new episode!

I also came to write that the series is frankly boring and it turned out to be crumpled. It's still interesting, yes. It was just like they were running, back and forth, and they had already found a person.
It's such luck that he's wearing the same jacket... It's strange, yes, that he was constantly being caught by the murdered man and he didn't even think about how he constantly finds him.
In short, let's not quibble, just look and enjoy the picture.😁

@Iradakzlv: I didn't understand this point either. Her mother wrote to her to leave the building, everyone evacuated, but she stayed, so what? What if there had been a fire, or if Morgan had still been able to get out with everyone else? And when they finally told her to leave, she was like, "I'm not going, I'm not leaving you."🤦🏻♀️ Of course, it's better to stay with two armed schizoids and a bomb and make your mother even more stressed.

I also watched the original in the break between series 6 and 7. In comparison, the American Morgan suits me more. More mature. But as for the quality, I'm all for the French. It feels like the Americans were filming on their knees. Did the kindergarten students write scripts for them? Solid cardboard and pathos.

What kind of forensic suckers work at their station that missed such an obvious clue on a drop of blood and did not look at the contents of the computer?.. Well, I don't really know... The main character is a sweetheart, and you get used to the actors from the first episode and the series has charm, but damn, let them change the writers, or something.

@Floris: "Obvious evidence on a drop of blood " and "the contents of the computer" - it's good to talk when you know what to look for. If they had another Morgan by blood working there, they wouldn't need a cleaner.
And the contents of the computer are a file with an empty form? It's still a piece of evidence if you don't know how to tie it and you don't have the prerequisites for a deeper investigation.

@Voider: Well, that's the point, that the crime was investigated in any way.
And for that matter, in my opinion, the blood in the photo looks quite fresh, it would have flowed further after the leaf was removed and did not take such a shape. Well, okay, I'm not an expert in this, maybe it's possible. Okay, let's take another moment. The navigator in the car, the calls in the phone to check before Morgan pointed it out? Not? And what were you doing then? How would the victim spend his days/couple of weeks walking before he died? Interview relatives, acquaintances, colleagues and not find out that he behaved suspiciously, canceled dinner with his daughter, worked with a difficult soldier and did not combine this fact with the form for the tribunal? Well, my God, this is what a microscopic mind should be... The form for the tribunal on the computer is, in principle, a reason for suspicion and without any ties to blood. In general, it all looks like an initial investigation, but not like an investigation in the wake of another investigation. The series knocks out emotions, yes, but it is not thought out.

New Year's Eve holidays (strictly speaking, the whole of December) are packed with festive novelties: Christmas movies, TV series and TV shows. Therefore, many TV channels do not have time for another 20 ~30 series, which they usually release from autumn to spring. These series take a break for a month and a half, until time is available for them in the show schedule.

The series is very good, it has been addictive since the very first episode

but..

I already want to see the last episode of the season rather than wait 1.5 months.. such an expectation leaves a taste of indifference to the finale, it is better not to watch the series with such a gap, so that it would be easier to delve into them 🙏🏻 but the world has other plans for the series🤷♀️

A crazy series from the point of view of logic. One was supposed to be imprisoned for murder, and then two morons take over the site, threaten with a bomb, and this is terrorism already.As a result, one was acquitted, the other two must leave for life. Their actions do not justify their purpose within the framework of the law....

Can someone explain to me how, at the beginning of the episode, the cameras are being shot and there is a speech that there is no access to them. And then the whole episode flashes on the sick screen, broadcasting with hostages.

The series is surreal, but as if within the framework of this story it is acceptable. I don't know what this line with the janitor is for, but they'll probably end up connecting gg with the detective.

I got to know the series quite by chance - it has appeared several times in the reels over the past months, so I decided to take a look, and it came to me. Very easy to view. Yes, there are logical inconsistencies somewhere, etc., but somehow I don't dwell on them. Today I decided to watch the original, and I join the camp of those who didn't get the original at all, for me it's more difficult to perceive, and I don't really like the main character, unlike the American version.

And I also caught myself thinking that this series reminded me of the series "Scorpio". It's their atmosphere. In general, I'm waiting for new episodes. 😋

Wow, this is a completely unusual series, it keeps you in suspense.

During all this time, it became unclear to me why it was necessary to act as a hero and attack those who planted bombs. They had put everyone in danger, and if she had blown it up? Despite the fact that this "smartest cop" did not even realize that there were no explosives there, he simply put everyone in danger.… It's very strange, they had conditions, there was no goal to kill anyone, the goal was to find the real culprit.

That's how you can understand Morgan that she was in danger with her daughter, but when she approached the criminal, thanks to whom her daughter was able to get out, I didn't understand what kind of hit-and-run was. On the contrary, this girl protected her daughter and did not want to harm or hurt her.

A typical move of a TV series about the police is to take a child to work and be taken hostage.
Although I love such episodes, I still don't understand the point of such justice, well, their commander was released, despite the fact that he hadn't even been tried yet and it was possible to hire a detective to refute the charges, and now he will be so happy that his girlfriend and friend will be imprisoned for years.
I thought the whole episode that the invader would turn out to be a drug addict, he was twitching too much, as if he was having withdrawal symptoms.
