I don't know where to start. This was possibly the weirdest piece of TV I've seen in a long time with the sort of narrative and storyline which would have been better compressed in a movie.
There's a bizarre story of a brothal; another substory of a Chinese Triad and businesswomen and another story of an underworld lawyer who somehow knows everyone and another story of mythology underworld beasts and oh a gang war is thrown in for good measure!
It's way over-complicated! The brothel is super-weird and the main character is thrust into the limelight super-early and is forced to conceive a baby on behalf of the mama. Which is also confusing as there's no interaction for her going into a clinic and any other process.
Miu; the protagonist is a super fighter chick yet constantly lets other people overrule here..again this makes absolutely 0 sense. Why would she stay in a brothel when the girls needed help and she could have helped them all very easily??
The sub-plots create dark twists into alternate universes with really annoying omnious sounds to create "atmosphere". Then it goes into 'Fight Club' mode and then Miu is seen working in the underworld after an arrangment with her lawyer..!!??!!!
Then the underworld gang war happens with the drug cartels so Miu takes full-advantage and somehow doesn't die??!!?! It's also the oddest gang war as it's only 5 v 2 and it lasts as soon as it's start yet this is enough to remit a whole episode??!!!??
There's a huge emphasis on character-development but even that can't save it from a conceptual mess. The style is there but the substance is not. It is slick and great in parts but far far too long. I love that it's a female protagonist hero and somehow it's called 'Copenhagen Cowboy'? I've watced the show and baby; there's no Cowboy!! Metaphorically it just is so stupid and weird.
A strange weird mind-bender indeed.
