In series one, Barbara from Blackpool realised her dream and became TV comedy star, Sophie Straw, the nation’s favourite. In series two, Sophie finds out that ‘having a voice’ doesn’t mean it will be heard and that fame is a fickle friend Fed up with being the comic muse in old school comedy shows, Sophie tries her hand at arthouse cinema hoping it will be more progressive – it isn’t! Undeterred, Sophie decides to create her own comedy show where she can tell authentic stories in all their messy and hilarious glory. She’s found her voice, and no one can stop her using it! She learns that the power is in the word. Funny Woman is produced by Potboiler and Rebel Park Productions, in association with Sky Studios. Executive produced by Nick Hornby, Gemma Arterton, Andrea Calderwood, Gail Egan, Jessica Parker and Jessica Malik.
第二季依然和第一季一样,剪辑手法、服饰、布景都非常好,我特别喜欢这种复古的氛围。
但是最大的问题还是剧情节奏,前面慢悠悠的,一到后面开始填坑了。
另外一个问题就是剧情太浮于表面了,芭芭拉在第二季给我的感觉不是一个活生生的人,像是一个符号,所有发生在她身上的事让我感觉不是因为她是芭芭拉才会发生,是因为她是主角所以把这样的话这样的故事放在她身上,我感觉不到她说那些很正确很有女性意识的话是她出自于内心,这些话让玛乔丽说都比她说有说服力。芭芭拉就像是被导演或者编剧借着她的口直白地传达不属于芭芭拉本身的思想的一个媒介。
总而言之,芭芭拉像是一个完成式,不需要成长的角色,所以剧情推动只能落脚在爱情和亲情上。
还有戴安娜这季完完全全就是一个工具人,要找亲妈?找戴安娜。灯碎了?找戴安娜。要报道新闻?找戴安娜。明明戴安娜的人设值得有个支线,还有玛乔丽的同工同酬活动不只能出现在有芭芭拉出现的时候才可以留下画面。nn我感觉创作者想兼顾的太多,结果节奏只能跟着芭芭拉和丹尼斯的爱情线来,显得剧情元素太多而且每一个都得不到深刻的诠释。n看样子是要拍第三季的,希望剧情能兼顾一切兼顾得更好一点,丰富一下芭芭拉的角色。
