I highly recommend "In the Name of the People" (人民的名义) from 2017 as the gold-standard drama about corruption in Party officialdom. Imo that series goes still much farther than "In the Name of Justice" (which I'm loving) -- to the extent that naive China-observers would be shocked at how explicitly such matters are dealt with on-screen.

A question for those who've watched "The Heir": would you say a patient 9-y.o. can sit through this drama, let's say one episode every other day, accompanied by a parent? The child is fascinated by craftsmanship of all kinds and responds well to humor and plotting (just not too murderous). But would this drama be too slow-paced and require more emotional maturity? Thanks for your thoughts!

Can someone who's watched this tell me how much violence/bloodshed it contains? I'd like to introduce my 7-y.o. kid to the world of wuxia dramas, and this show seems more about strategy and emotions than battle gore per se. My kid doesn't like violent images. Anything nightmarish in it?
