It's a show about the life of foreigners in Hong Kong - but has aired everywhere except the city itself.

    So does this mean it is good? I saw a trailer randomly and was wondering what ideology it was smuggling in the narrative.

      Watched the first episode, was not good. Too miserable, with nothing really going on. Feels a lot like the show thinks it's very important but is unfortunately nothing of the sort. Nicole Kidman's Cantonese was so bad that my partner (fluent Cantonese speaker) had no idea what she was saying. I think this is kind of the point, but the show feels extremely disconnected from Hong Kong proper, basically could have been set anywhere.
