TVB's Hong Kong dramas have been dormant for more than 20 years.

Why do you say that?

Twenty years ago, TVB’s forte was police and gangster dramas.

Whenever TVB produces a police and gangster drama, it will definitely be a masterpiece.

In recent years, TVB's police and gangster dramas are far less popular and well-received than they were in the past.

Apart from the lack of young actors, the audience is too familiar with the routine.

According to my experience of watching TVB dramas, there are only two types of TVB police dramas:

One is represented by "Armed Reaction", which focuses on the process of police collecting evidence and pursuing suspects.

The other type is represented by "Forensic Files", which focuses on the unraveling process of police investigation, interrogation, and forensics.

However, this year is likely to see a "rebound" in Hong Kong-produced police and gangster dramas.

Because TVB finally decided to take out its best police drama for many years - "Forensic Heroes 6".

After many years,"Forensic Heroes 6: The Survivor's Redemption" meets the audience with a brand new look.

Why is it brand new?

Because from the actors to the production team, almost everything has been replaced.

As we all know,The veteran cast of "Forensic Heroes" includes Bobby Au-yeung, Yoyo Mung and Lam Man Lung.

Until 2020, "Forensic Heroes 4" was replaced byRaymond Wong, Selena Li, Patrick Tam.

Unexpectedly, the TV premiere set a new viewership record and broke TVB's viewership record.

By the 5th part, it was changed toBosco Wong, Yuan Weihao and Cai Jie.

However, "Forensic Heroes 5" did not receive much response.

Therefore, the production team of "Forensic Heroes 6" was directly changed, with the director replaced by Zhong Shukai and the screenwriter replaced by Huang Guohui.

So, the newCan "Forensic Heroes" return to its glory days?

Highlight 1: Mystery

The story of "Forensic Heroes 6" continues from the previous season and still revolves around the protagonist group.

Yu Xingbai (played by Bosco Wong), a senior chemist in the Forensic Department, Jing Haoran (played by Benjamin Yuen), a senior inspector in the Serious Crime Unit, and Fan Peiqing (played by Cai Jie), a senior doctor in the Forensic Department.

In the trailer, three bizarre mysteries are presented right at the beginning.

First.

The victim was found head down with feet up, and after investigation it was found that it seemed to be related to some ritual.

the second.

Late one night, a masked man was chasing a young woman.

As a result, Fan Peiqing found out through investigation that he actually got two times of death, but a person can only die once.

The third.

In the alley in the early morning, there was a man with needles all over his back.

The three cases were connected by an invisible hand and led to a bigger situation.

Highlight 2: Suspense

The whole story currently seems to have two suspenses.

The first suspense is the disappearance of Yu Xingbai’s wife.

In the trailer, Yu Xingbai's wife disappeared mysteriously and no clues were found after searching everywhere.

Here, there are two guesses.

One, his wife was killed by the serial killer;

Another thing is that his wife was abducted by a man in black with a black hat. The man had a grudge against Yu Xingbai and had tried to assassinate him in person.

The second suspense is that Fan Peiqing was imprisoned for "murder".

In the trailer, Fan Peiqing was accused of murder, which was really unexpected.

However, Fan Peiqing lost her memory and could not remember the whole incident.

However, there is a key clue, that is, a person she once loved suddenly appeared in front of her.

Therefore, once these two suspenses were laid, the anticipation level for the entire drama immediately increased.

Point 3: Scale

The scale of the entire drama comes from two aspects.

On the one hand, it is the scale of the case itself. From the process of committing the crime to the collection of evidence from the deceased, it feels extremely real.

It’s hard to imagine that TVB really dares to shoot this time.

On the other hand, it is an analysis of the darkness of human nature.

In the trailer, the lines are extremely obscure, revealing all kinds of strange people.

Some people are keen on a certain ritual, some people have strange "sexual fetishes"...

All I can say is that from the trailer alone, it feels like the old days.

In my opinion, there are three reasons why "Forensic Heroes" was able to be filmed into the sixth season.

First, the dramatic conflict is obvious.

After watching one episode, I can’t help but want to watch the second episode. The plot often surprises the audience.

The second is the well-rounded character design.

The plots of Hong Kong dramas are generally driven forward by full, three-dimensional characters, and the stories behind them are revealed through complex relationships between the characters.

The third is the delicate emotional portrayal of Hong Kong dramas.

In Hong Kong dramas, you can not only see the atmosphere of everyday life, but also the delicate emotions between the characters.

This is the charm of Hong Kong dramas!

In general, if "Forensic Heroes 6" is really as suggested in the trailer, then these three highlights alone have the potential to detonate the ratings.

How will the trio unravel the mystery step by step, using science to uncover the facts and find the truth amidst the perilous mysteries?

And how, when faced with life and death, can they stay true to themselves and complete the redemption of themselves and others?

All answers will be revealed in this season!
