Strangers (I) (2018)
3/10
Well I made it to the end

I really wanted to like this. Beautiful backdrop, intriguing plot line, world class casting especially with regards to the Asian characters. Speaking of which were treated more like extras in a British soap, stupid, unemotional gladly taking orders from the English in Hong Kong of all places. Not sure what annoyed me more David the lecturer ordering a local police officer around the place (turn here, stop there, do this) constantly shouting stomping his foot or the ridiculous superiorty or the British over the the Locals. Entirely unemotional flat characters who lacked empathy and emotion for the death of loved ones but were so happy to help out this man from nowhere who lands and takes over. Could have been made in 4 episodes, even ten it would have been boring, I just kept watching waiting for something to happen as though I was missing something this great cast must have seen when they signed up in the first place
