Netflix Mid-Boy's Hour Episode 1 Review
🎬 The shock of the first scene
Netflix Me Boy's Timeat the end of the movie. Early on, U.S. Special Forces break down the door of a family's home, enter, and arrest a suspect at gunpoint.
The suspect, however, was a very young boy.
Special forces are called in to capture the boy... what's his crime?
Bombings? Mass drug trafficking? Kidnappers in captivity?
And yet, bizarrely, it was just ‘murder. A simple murder with a weapon.
The idea of the UK's most powerful special forces being sent in to capture a kid with no guns didn't make sense to me. I just thought, ‘There must be a reason for this.
🎥 Immersive in one take
Another feature of this drama is the Nearly one-takefor the most part. Only when a place changes significantly is it edited, most of the time it is shown as is.
It made it feel real and immersive.
You'll also often see ad-libbing. This is where the actors pick up where they left off and continue with a mocking line. For example, a detective bursts out laughing during a conversation with a lawyer, and when he finishes, he says “Don't get too excited, it looks sloppy”The moment felt like a real sneer, not just a mistake. It was details like that that made the drama more real.
🔐 Social media passwords and social abbreviations
Episodes 1-3 introduce the idea that social media, specifically Instagram, has a password in the color of the heart.
- ❤️ Red: Common love
- 💛 Yellow: asks if you're interested
- 💜 Purple: Sexual arousal
That's what the cop's son says, and I wondered if there really is such a thing, so I asked AI Ittipi.
Ittipi said.
👉 “There is no such thing as a color code, and if there is, it's only used in a very small community.”
There are some real-life ciphers out there, like the ‘incel’ terminology from the show, or the way men and women's genitals are represented by vegetables. But they've become so widespread on the internet that they're no longer ‘password’rather than Memefor the first time.
After all, the value of a password is What others don't knowbut if it spreads out, it loses its power. In that sense, the message this setting sends is a bit funny.
I thought to myself.
“Why bother with a password when you can just be honest?”
In fact, there's nothing to be afraid of. You just have to be a little blunt about it, and in that moment, the password loses its power.
As if As was the fate of the asa that caught his eye That is.
And I realized again.
I am. I'm popular. Not just in the sense of being popular,
A transparent person who can be candid and directwhich means.
In short, a transparent businessman.
💡 Cops and boys, generational differences
In the movie, the police use Boy's FriendHowever, as soon as his friend sees the police, he impulsively runs away. When he is finally caught, the police are furious and exclaim: "I'm not going to let him get away with this.
“FUCK, are you kidding me? A man is dead! Are you out of your mind?”
With that one word, the boy's friend blows it all off in an instant, and as I watched, I thought to myself.
“Oh, he's just a weakling.”
Someone with a truly malicious plan would have held out until the end, but seeing it fall apart so easily made me realize something else.
Real strength comes from mental health.
It's not just about being sneaky and lying, it's about having a strong heart to see it through.
And the Evilis a WeakRealization that it's too much.
🌱 Wrapping Up
At first, I was scared and confused, but eventually I was able to laugh it off. The ‘password’ story in the drama was just a little prank that people made up. So it wasn't scary anymore. Instead, it made me reflect on myself.
Boy's Timemay have the veneer of a crime thriller, but underneath it's a Social disadvantage, generational differences, and the message of ‘mental toughness.was hiding.
We can't wait to see what episodes 4 and 5 have in store for us.
