The City and the City (2018)
Generic plot irrelevant to amazing concept

Just like Ul Qoma and Besczel, the plot and the concept don't mix.
The wife's story, dead girl, and cult leader working with evil corporation could have happened without the entire segregation concept. They could've linked the wife's story back to breaching or unification, but nope she just wanted to die.
There was so much to work with after the first 2 seasons but the ending was seriously underwhelming. Have not read the book but I heard China Mieville's works all have rather mundane endings.
Watching this movie is akin to eating McDonald's in a museum; generic substance in a sophisticated environment.
