First rule of Fight Club according to Blackout – Suspended Lives: never plug in the power. The fundamental point of this second appointment was, moreover, the current. Attacking it means losing it, not attacking it means knocking out the last survivors who are struggling between life and death, attached to a machine that the good villain of the new Rai Uno fiction has reinvented: a car battery. After the intervention via Skype de The Money Heist we thought we’d seen them all, but Blackout is amply proving to us that there is no end to experimental medicine. This second episode has thus seen the loss of control on the part of the characters who, relentlessly, have given each other good fights, recalling the good old cult Fight Club. As proof of this, it is enough to remember that even Mimmo Cesaroni (alias Riccardo) has lost his head by fighting with Lorenzo, the spoiled boy with whom his Anita continues to spend her days.
The point that most binds the various Rai Uno Fictions is not only the presence of Lino Guanciale (#where did you put Lino this time?), but also the absolutely inconsiderate use of the police. Again their presence is as useful as ours in a dietitian’s office on December 23rd
Here we need to intervene, here we need to do research and understand. <
In fact, the Hulk has just arrived in Trentinobut don’t worry. He runs discreetly, disguised as Giovanni Lo Bianco, the serial killer who is trying to kill the doctor with whom he is developing an ambiguous relationship that seems to herald the beginning of more than an attempt on his life. Business is business though and in order to hide the evidence, the good San Giovanni will move a car with his strength alone, then making it slide on a ravine. He is the only one in the entire hotel who walks around with a screaming face I am the criminal, the only one present when the doctor – poisoned by a substance – had confessed her allergy. Yet no one pays attention to it, enough to place all possible trust in him. Even the only carabiniere in the place washes his hands of it: so, in the end, what will ever happen after an avalanche? We’ll explain it to you.
The situation in the hotel drastically worsens, but the sole representative of the armed forces cannot keep up with all this. The right move to make would be call Don Matteo, replace the bike with a new sled, and let him lead the investigation. Otherwise, here, it doesn’t come out anymore.
This second appointment shows once again how exactly Giovanni is the author of everything (except of the avalanche: Hulk yes, but God of nature not yet) but the attention of the characters is now all on a Nordic bourgeois who continues to get into fights with people. His impatience in sharing this tragedy with them is never hidden, and this in the end manages to give comparison bonfires that Temptation Island can only dream of. The only way they can get by until the next day is to hope that he decides to call a private jet to get him out of there, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t take them to safety with him: better another avalanche than another day with the villain par excellence.
Blackout – Vite Sospese has officially entered the heart of its story. The pebbles have been thrown and, even if the characters are using them to throw them at each other in the forehead, the plot is now ready to put a lot of meat on the fire. Even the food pantries are starting to run out, so let’s hope they don’t eat this one too. What terrifies us deep down is knowing that this group of deranged people will still have to spend a lot of time together: if they are already reduced to this by the second date, how will we find them again on February 6th?
If Lino had been here (#where did you put Lino) things would have turned out differently. He would fall in love with someone and love would reign supreme. But in this case Lino isn’t there, and we have to see Fight Club come to life while the characters, lost in their thoughts, wonder where Don Matteo has gone, and why Wednesday and the Hulk have arrived in his place.
