We are asked to suspend our belief in the first 20 minutes...
We are supposed to feel empathy for the British protagonist and go with him on this journey, but I couldn't help but think, "You idiot!" He's crying like crazy, as he should, and asking, "How am I going to go on without her?" But then we learn he was only married to her for 3 yrs, and it seems the majority during each year, she spends it in HK. So we learn he has pretty much managed without her. This fact diminishes the earlier sad scene in which he asked, "How am I going to go on without her?" In another scene, he talks about how he never understood why she liked it in HK so much, but now he knows, and he laments about how it seems everybody knows but him. Duh!!! It's also 2018/2019 and he's traveling without his smartphone charger. Everywhere he goes, he asks, "You don't happen to have a charger for one of these little thingies do you?" Like it's a cool nifty tech he just found out about. It's a phone dude. Already, you're frustrated with this protagonist, and you give up. Maybe a good show if I give it a chance, but I just don't feel it.
