Hysterically Preposterous

[superpal-87272 · 4/10 · 6 May 2021]

"Season 1" was farcical in the worst way with some decent acting working overtime to rescue an unoriginal premise and a plot full of holes. "Season 2" managed to prove that the show COULD get worse and lost nearly all of the already limited charm/appeal of the first season. You don't even need to speak Russian, Mandarin, or English to know that even simple line delivery was stilted and terrible. I feel bad speaking so negatively about people's work and efforts, but they've already been paid and the show was just awful!

Don't waste 3 hours of your precious life.

This series is unspeakable. Nothing makes sense. More than 100 shots in the center of Sydney and nobody, nobody seem to realize what is happening there. The script, the action scenes, the crazy situations without any temporal connection and the creepiest performances are an ugly combo. Chen-Lung Lan, who perform the main character, is one of the worst actors that I had the misfortune to find in my life. Even If you have nothing, nothing to do, don't watch this movie.

Preposterous plot saved by good acting

Kudos to the film-makers and actors here who did a great job in their respective roles despite the preposterous premise.

Painful to watch

Cringy is the best way to describe this show. Besides the recycled premise and cliche action scenes (chase villains through a carnival fun house anyone?), the dialogue is verbatim pulled from American popcorn action flicks. Translated into Chinese, it sounds like the characters are reciting lines from a book. No one speaks like that in Chinese, no one. If you are into cheesy action flicks and don't need the plot to be believable or even good, this could satisfy a few hours. Native speakers should avoid it as it is just painful to watch.

A waste of time

[hernan-47379 · 2/10 · 20 August 2018]

I agree with the others guys that wrote here, the scenes are really inverosimiles, and the main actor is really annoying, is extremely slow for each action that he realizes, even the idea is something stupid. I don't recomend this tv serie. You should watch only if you have a lot of free time, and nothing else to do.

BEST SHOW EVER
