Proof of Steel 6 is terrible, even Huynh Tong Trach can't save it

At the e.nd of 2023, the news that actor Huynh Tong Trach would replace the old face Au Duong Chan Hoa to take on the main role in the crime series Forensic Heroes 6 caught the attention of the audience.

From the moment the project started filming, information surrounding the film's content and cast became a h.ot topic of discussion on social media. Many fans even surrounded the set, excited to meet the 43-year-old male idol.

Returning in Forensic Heroes 6, Bosco Wong continues to work with his investigative team to uncover the truth behind difficult cases. After the controversy over the quality of recent episodes, viewers expect Forensic Heroes season 6 to take a new step forward, bringing back the once classic TVB brand in a spectacular way.

But in reality, after its release, the series received heavy criticism and many viewers turned their backs on it.

According to 163, the movie Forensic Heroes 6 has more than 3 million pre-orders to watch, partly thanks to the reputation of the previous movies, but also because of people who love Wong Tsung-tse.

However, when it aired, the quality of the film did not meet requirements, not attractive enough to arouse interest in watching, many viewers said they stopped watching the film from episode 3-4.

On Douban, viewers commented that this was an extremely bad work and called on TVB to stop copying previous successful films.

Currently, Forensic Heroes has been shown for half a year, but the media, viewership, and discussion indexes of the series are not high. Audiences believe that the new season has damaged the Forensic Heroes brand, which is of high quality and loved by millions of viewers. Many people call on TVB not to "milk" the old sub-brands but to let them become classic series.

Reason for disappointment

There are many reasons for the h.umiliating failure of Forensic Heroes 6.

First, the difference in color compared to the previous parts makes the audience feel unfamiliar. The previous Forensic Science often focused on complex cases and forensic science. The story created attraction thanks to logical reasoning and scientific evidence. However, with the latest part, the cases appeared sparsely, boring, and not attractive enough. Instead, the film focused more on building emotions and relationships of the characters. The emotional scenes appeared quite often, unreasonable when placed in the plot with the main detective and criminal colors.

It was this confusing change that made Forensic Heroes fans feel dissatisfied. Many opinions said that part 6 felt like a drama series with many life details, while what they needed was a tense, suspenseful atmosphere.

Next, the film's cast did not create sympathy with viewers. Although it retained some of the main roles from part 5, such as those of Wong Tsung-tse or Yuen Wai-hao, Forensic Heroes 6 still made viewers feel unfamiliar when introducing many new characters. On the positive side, this can help the series bring a new and diverse experience. On the other hand, it also directly affects the coherence and depth of the characters in the story.

Not to mention, the performance of the cast was not highly appreciated. The members of the crime-solving team were commented to have not created a connection, lacking juggling and supporting each other well. Meanwhile, in the central position of the work, Huynh Tong Trach in the role of Tu Tinh Bach showed little attraction. The character was placed in old-fashioned love motifs. And at work, Tu Tinh Bach in the role of a forensic expert with investigative experience often had redundant lines, unrelated to the crime-solving journey, causing frustration.

Forensic Heroes is a famous TVB series that made the names of actors such as Bobby Au-yeung and Melinda Mong Ka-wai, Lam Man-lung, Cheng Ka-ying, Charmaine Sheh, Lee Yiu-cheung, Tsui Tzu-san, Ng Cheuk-hee, and Cheung Kai-yi. The first three parts were released in 2006, 2008, and 2011, and were praised for their thrilling content and tight script, creating a feeling of suspense when watching. The acting of the cast was also consistent. Thanks to that, Forensic Heroes became a popular film brand in Asia.
