Bringing this over from the birdsite after realizing people here in the Canada/US did not know the production history of this TV show set in a photoshopped Hong Kong.
In case you were wondering if you wanted to watch a show about three "expatriates" (aka privileged immigrants usually from the West) in Asia, none of whom speak the local language... 🙈
