Futmalls

So far, season one is free from woke commie feminism etc. So, that always gets an extra star for that alone. It's a terrible name for the show (in English, at least), it's the words Future + Malls put together. Future Shop would have been a better name, but prob. Lost in translation. It's a bit of a sci-fi show grounded in the reality of the current day. I give them kudos for keeping everything grounded and not going off into X-Files territory. This may be the first tv show I've seen from Taiwan. I thought it was prob. From HK, but I was wrong. I look forward to more.

I just finished the first season of Futmalls. I really enjoyed it. It's well produced and directed, and the acting is of high quality. The different stories and characters all intertwine to form an overarching storyline. The "No Chance to Grow Up" storyline had me in tears and was very well done. The first season ends with a surprise twist and cliffhanger.

Really hoping there will be a season 2.

Buying products from the future is an interesting plot device. This series, made in Taiwan, navigates well the cause-and-effect paradoxes of time travel. It is very well made and easy to watch, once you get used to a Chinese-language scenes set in a modern, thriving democracy. I liked how the detective plotline deals with the challenges of making sense of time travel. Impressive!

Found this series on Netflix. After reading the plot synopsis of people buying items from the future on a ghostly website, I was intrigued. It did not disappoint! The story flows well from episode to episode and the characters are fleshed out well! The series can be broken up into three different sections, but the way how all characters are integrated throughout the entire season. If you enjoy "Black Mirror" Sci-Fi tech caution, you'll probably enjoy this series also. It ends on a cliffhanger, so I hope another season will happen soon!

I am totally impressed by the maturity of Asian made movies/series. Gone are the constant supply of RomCom, the KungFu, the Blood and Gore, the extremes. I binged on two of the top most series I have ever seen, It's okay to not be okay and now this Futmalls. Both extremely well done, a treat to watch and leaves me at the edge of my seat, wanting more... The story angles, the direction, the acting, the photography, all exquisite. Both left me in tears, my wife asked what? i said eye drops and showed her the dropper. Futmalls second story is really heartjerking. I gave it a ten because there isn't an eleven. It's that good. Go see it in Netflix. Start an account if you've not. You'll be making the best decision in your life. Second best decision, to watch It's okay....be okay and this futmalls. Enjoy. You can thank me later.
