Soo many. Just as stunned.

Don’t read too much into it. I think Wang was just trying to show how lightly connected all of the characters were to each other.

I am irritated by it too

@@BetterThanRingo Yeah, after writing this comment, I found an article explaining what you just said based on the director’s perspective, it was a bit underwhelming to find out, it didn’t mean anything more

Can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN to me what was up with the crossed mops outside Margaret’s rented apartment? The camera would always stop at this scene making it feel REALLY important

1) Puri didn’t make the contest because Hillary was too hungover from coping with the death of her marriage to remember it. Puri sacrifices her dreams for her obligations. Part of the theme of that specific episode 2) it doesn’t matter who took Gus, and it would’ve made a trite story to focus on that 3) Flora Chan’s character served as an example of women in her culture coming close to leaving their toxic surroundings only to instead learn to cover up the issue as much as possible and deal with the consequences of inaction (represented by the hole in her ceiling) And 4) the show was primarily about dealing with the consequences of your own actions, exemplified by the opening monologue about people who do things that causes irreparable harm to others as an accident. However, all of those “accidents” were made through bad decision making. Margaret should’ve had Essie come to the market instead of Mercy. Hillary should’ve told her father off and left David sooner. Mercy shouldn’t have been okay with having unprotected sex with a married man. In the end they have all had their moment of realization and learn to take more responsibility for themselves

I couldn’t agree more!! So many unresolved stories….

@@betsyhenry5260 no meaning, just to show how small was their surroundings since the mom of the boy who happened to be friend with Charly worked there...

LIFE IS UNRESOLVED. Why are you humans so willfully dense.

I don't live in HK anymore but I grew up there until teen years. What was inaccurate in your opinion? I was annoyed they sprinkled in the HK protests like it was some romanticized pixie dust, none of the main characters even cared about it except just the occasional "oh the traffic was so bad because of the protests". Almost like a disrespectful slap in the face and it should have been left out completely. And how annoyed I was when they lived in the Hong Kong "peak" side, while the "night market" was in Mong Kok (Kowloon side). One will have to make plans to travel there, minimum half an hour without traffic, yet they make it seem like it was just downstairs as the mom was making accusations of several of their neighbors taking Gus, when in reality that would not be remotely possible unless they were Jeffrey Dahmer level of a stalker. Eye roll.

@@cenerie1. the protest started on a clear day, not a rainny day. 2. They dont arrest protesters in the first day, most of the arrest was done few months later, 3. No one will replace a Filipino mate with an amerian born korean with a degree from Columbia..... The economic just dont work. 4. And that korean gal will hv a job in 2013, the economic back then was pretty good. 5. China was bad, but not like locking up white ppl in a room when they ask HK police to send white ppl to china to see dead body bad. 6. Stealing a white child in a night market is just not happening in HK...

@@dragongaming12478 I didn't pick up that it was the mom's intention to replace her filipino maid with the Korean girl. I just thought she would be hired as an occasional babysitter when they go out. That would indeed be ridiculous. I assume with the filippino maid, there are complicated insurance and contracts and paperwork protecting both parties. How could you just arbitrarily replace someone with a stranger you met at an event. I do question if anyone would treat their filipino maid so well, letting them wear their night gowns, putting make up on them, and drinking with them? Liking them so much to go through hoops to bring them to the States, and probably have to pay 20x more than what HK people pay for their foreign hired help? And the application go through so quickly with the INS??? I guess I don't know any rich gweilo expats in HK, and only saw the stories of how the (upper middle class) employers abuse their hired help. I do wonder how realistic is that. I do want to say I was very impressed how do they recreate all those CROWDED restaurants / street / occupy central / protest scenes during the time of heightened COVID fear. It was no joke in HK back then, yet they managed to get all those scenes in, and no one wore a mask. I know they allow them pass because of Nicole Kidman but this is quite something. And they allow them to recreate the protest scenes when it is so politically sensitive now? I wonder if it was recreated in Hollywood. That was pretty amazing how do they even pull all of that off.

@@dragongaming12478 "6. Stealing a white child in a night market is just not happening in HK..." See exactly that was my main complaint against this show is that the plot was make believe. Someone would have noticed Gus wandering all by himself and raised a missing child alert or something.

I didn’t, I feel very unfulfilled by it, I have more questions now than in the first few episodes
