Season 1 Review:
If anything, the fifth episode feels like Expats apologizing for being another series about the inner lives of the wealthy. It touches on the political backdrop of Hong Kong, but does so in the vaguest of ways, with none of the assured over-emphasis visited upon its other themes. Despite having entirely too much time on its hands, Expats only tentatively steps outside of its bubble.

Season 1 Review:
A viewer may be inclined to blame the relentless tone of misery on the script, and there's plenty in it to earn blame. But the actors are an unpleasant group to hang out with, having apparently been directed by Ms. Wang to give everything from a Chinese crackdown to a crack in a ceiling (a metaphor for Hong Kong's collapsing independence, one presumes) the same emotional weight. When everything is treated as a tragedy, everything becomes trivial, which is not a bad description of "Expats."
