An excellent drama - Outstanding and Atmospheric

Excellent Drama in the same frame as 'Tales of the Unexpected', Eerie, Sinister, Ghostly, Uncanny, Suspenseful, Supernatural, and Unsettling ... Outstanding and Atmospheric.

It is not often that one sees such a great suspenseful murder mystery Chinese drama worthy of the title "Murder Mystery" in the same frame as Tales of the Unexpected, the British television series that aired between 1979 and 1988. Each episode told a story, often with sinister and wryly comedic undertones, with an unexpected twist ending. Every episode of series one, eight episodes of series two, and one episode of series three were based on short stories by Roald Dahl collected in the books Tales of the Unexpected. Who is the Murderer … The Murderer is Whom? Creepy, Fear and Unease, Bluffing Clues, Shuddering, Unexpected Twists??

it exceeds expectations by far, it is compelling, full of intrigue and zest, on the edge of the seat contemplating what next, bluffing clues, unexpected twists, suspicion, doubt, horror and more over …fear and unease for what might unfold next?! Thus goes without saying … this is an outstanding Murder Mystery, right from the outset, setting the scene … the distressing murders, the apprehension, the disbelief that draws the viewers in, to the fast pace that leaves the viewers grasping in discomfort. As the Master of Suspense Thriller Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) famously said “Always make the audience suffer as much as possible … There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it”. The actings are exceptional, convincingly believable, giving the extra edge that extraordinary natural talent brings is something that cannot be argued and is what makes great actors stand out … Very much looking forward to Season 2
