Expats, on Amazon Prime, is a six-episode miniseries that gains intensity as it progresses. Magnificently shot, with framing and chromaticism that contribute to the emotional climate. Sober soundtrack with some highlights of recognizable hits and memorable covers. Believable and well-acted characters (overcoming surgeries).

Set in a multiethnic and multicultural Hong Kong, as dynamic as it is oppressive.

With a few characters it is possible to show the entire social spectrum and their respective problems. With a few events a solid and exciting story is built that ends up linking them with a common denominator: children. Those who are lost, those who do not have, those who have, those who arrive undesired.

And because they are inseparable from them, it also portrays the parents. Motherhood and fatherhood are painted from a few basic colors whose mixtures generate infinite nuances.

There are no judgments or sentences, only facts, attitudes and decisions of the characters that leave any evaluation to our discretion.

The ascending race of emotion of the chapters lands in a masterful sixth episode, with an extraordinary montage, which cannot wait after the magnificent fifth.
