TV Series '' Expats '' is a melodrama that promises a lot, but delivers few.

The story is lost between intriguing shots, and artistic supremancy, as the series tries hard to hide its flaws behind its cinematography. And even though there were some interesting elements in the three women stories, they were never developed and the series ends up being boring, pretentious, and lukewarm.

The performances were, on the other hand, enjoyable, but not that excellent. At least, the supporting cast did a great job with theirs and they aided the series a lot.

Finally, the series didn't ultilize Hong Kong, its setting, that well.
