This series blew my mind: it is outstanding. I'm amazed at how film- makers can put such complicated things in a movie series: well- developed plot, cinematic effects, acting...
Nevertheless, the series exploits an indispensable aspect of life which much aroused my interest: trust. Being a defence attorney, Keating has to be sceptical, even towards her husband. So does Wes, Collins, Laurel and maybe all other characters. It is, in fact, true that plentiful secrets exist and most of the time are hidden from the eyes of people who would cause inconvenience if the truth is unravelled. This brings us back to the most rudimentary question: how can the "id" govern our minds and thus bodies? Sexual and ambition desires ought to be attributed to the dishonesty running throughout the movie, or rather not telling the truth in order to preserve one's social life and career. Of course, predictably, when it is shed light on, collateral damage ensues
There's this quote from the last episode that much struck me: "But it's what the two of us need to choose to believe. With everything that's happened, it's the version of the truth that makes the most sense and will let us move on." It's strange that while I'm looking for this quote to put it here, I found out that no one else, at least on the Internet, picks it up. Personally, I believe it encapsulates all the essence and key factors of the whole series, hence proves indeed powerful. It scares me how it also holds true in reality. Are we all just running away from our frights and believing in whatever that could help us go on with life?
Besides excellent scripting, I did enjoy how the music enhances the scenes. "Run me out" perfectly gives last moments of the last episode an appropriate sense to end the first season and let the following ensue.
