As Expats, this isn't the reason you visit the mainland.

Clarke has been trying every possible avenue to hold his family together.

I presume this is the American production's patriarchal influences on the writers?

Or possibly availability of others for filming during the pandemic? It provides the opportunity for both Sarayu Blue and Brian Tee to show their talents.

Truth is I'm relieved to see another one of the male characters show some vulnerability.

Every female that has a watched this so far must be empathetic towards Hilary also. I think her character required some depth, Im not sure a xenophobic mother helped Hilary's character's mother's personality, could've gone to the cutting room floor.

Margaret has been falling apart, Just enough to see if our theory about the persons behind Gus's trauma is correct.

I'm ready to know one way or the other. It's important to see characters written for actresses who once upon a time were only referred to as "of a certain age", talent certainly doesn't wane with experience or age. Are the other viewers ready to add a new counterpoint? I mean besides Dave's wanting to be an alcholic father.
