Just in case you didn't know, being wealthy doesn't guarantee that you will be happy and doesn't protect you from personal tragedy. That is the long and drawn-out conclusion of this six-episode series.

Wealthy US expats live a seeming life of luxury in 2014 Hong Kong with live-in servants, personal drivers, fabulous apartments, extravagant parties, and unlimited funds. What could go wrong? Cheating spouses abound in a city where rich males are treated like princes and women are always available to satisfy them. Bitchy mothers pop up like mosquitos to aggravate the women and to pick at old wounds. Meanwhile the wealthy women feel unappreciated and trapped in their confined gender roles.

Unexpected tragedy strikes and a mother lashes out in anger. But the tragedy is never resolved, and the characters must learn to live with pain, guilt, and loneliness.

The saving grace of this series is the complex interaction between the rich expats and their imported servants from third world countries.
