I really appreciate his directing choices, it really feels like he’s meant to be a film director. Some might say “it’s just a wide angle shot” but they’re really cinematic, giving us an amazing visual storytelling, which is quite impressive for a procedural drama of that era (I may be biased tho).
Okay so for context I guessed RJ’s identity wrong, and I know there’s been DOZENS of posts about this already I just want to share my thoughts! I don’t really have a lot of people around me who’s obsessed about the show lol
SO
Knowing what I know now, and even though the writers didn’t know who he was til later seasons, I think it kind of makes sense??
Mainly because at the S3 finale - >!a totally unknown person who pops out of nowhere, with no backstory whatsoever, it’s technically the same approach they did with the real Red John.!<
My husband is also watching for the first time and after watching the Bosco episode he just said >!“what if Red John is a police? But not a high ranking one, that would be too obvious, but someone in the middle or lower. Just enough to hide in plain sight.”!<
ig what I can’t wrap around my head is how he was able to persuade people to have that immense loyalty.
Unless if I look at it the other way - >!that he was using the Blake Association’s resources and the members don’t know until the news breaks that the crime was for Red John???!<
Anyway, point of the post - ig im looking for your thoughts why he got people doing stuff for him, being devoted to him like that. 🙂
