Expats (2023–2024)
1/10
I don't understand what I just watched

What is the point of this show? Beyond it being about expats in Hong Kong? .

The acting from Nicole Kidman was atrocious; standing aloof and going from quiet and gloomy to frantic in the next moment and staring intently into the distance is not what I would call good acting. It like she couldn't quite make up her mind on how to approach her character.

To be perfectly honest, I felt no connection to any of the characters - they showed little to no emotional maturity or depth.

From the women who gossip and want to see the downfall of another woman, to the robotic relationship Kidman has with her children and husband, it made it a tough and awkward watch.

You also have the typical bloke who decides to cheat on his wife because he cannot accept getting old.

Honestly, this episode was in desperate need of passion and energy - whether it be from anger or love; it needed something to wake up from the coma like state of the pacing.
