Kuih is also a Malay word for rice cakes.

Sadly I couldn’t make it past the second episode of horizon tower I really struggle to find a more narcissistic nauseating actor than angelababy. Fargo the movie was excellent but Fargo the tv series is exceptional. Light on series the only one I would say don’t start with is crimson river. I would have happily skipped it had I known better.

Indeed True Detective flopped after S1. Fargo every season was mind blowing I am I am inconsolable it didn’t continue. Not so dark but my favorite female detective was The Closer. Lucy Liu never did it for me because she is the side kick even though I was a big fan of elementary. What I have seen of this genre in China is very promising....

I like him too and also more than Benedict whom I always felt was overhyped. The BBC version though is special to me because of Watson . But my personal favorite although not that faithful to Arthur Conan Doyle’s original is Robert Downey Jr’s version and I also love the Jude Law/Watson pairing the most.

Is anyone even still watching this???

I actually liked it a lot more than the BBC version.

This doesn't qualify as a mystery/investigative drama but who cares? Ifs so much fun anyway!

As for the motive it is clear now that they were all three children who were orphaned or whose lives were altered by the poisoning at the chemical factory. They are all working together but there is some kind of competition between the two men for the girl. She is not nearly as innocent as she looks and may even be the mastermind. [Shivers!!!] Excellent so far!!!

I suspect time is not really altered it wil turn out to just be some really strong deja vu and.or strong premonition/ policeman instincts??

Is this good?

This princess costume looks really Indian.

This dude is going to play a very complex and possibly grey character in The Promise of Changan. I can't wait I think he is a good actor but this role here is written as a character that just exists to love the FL unconditionally which is typical fantasy xianxia ML. I think he is good enough to do much more interesting roles that don't just involve spitting blood all the time...

Not to mention no one really wants or needs to see the actors' white heads...

Even though they dragged it out too long, I was ok with him being mean to her for once...

Yeah I will probably watch it after Sisyphus finishes this week.

Yeah I think this is a new genre for China its actually very good because the gore and violence is limited so the focus is more on story. Even Murder in Horizon Tower I am gonna have to suck up my Angelababy dislike and watch it bc I hear its so good. I have skimmed the netflix ones, I think they are all gratuitous violence that is a big yawn. The only Western ones I like in this genre have been Fargo and some (not all) the True Detective seasons.

Light on series, 12 episode crime thrillers. The Bad Kids were part of it. Yes sorta like Blackmirror. I love that stuff...

Youku released everything earlier today but I got hooked on Sisyphus I won’t start the rest until tomorrow..

Yeah that seems very popular at the moment... Crimson River, Go Ahead... iQiyi has been using AI to identify tropes that appeal to viewers... and it shows...

I know... her vocabulary is really limited.
