The Victims' Game

Watching the first 10 minutes of 1st episode, I knew I've struck gold.

What's so different about it? It relies on shots angle, facial expressions and ambiance to induce the atmosphere. None of those annoying background music.

My God, the story, the camera shots, the scenes, the acting are all top notch.

And what makes this series so lovely is that it depicts normal people with real life problems. None of those over-the-top, bigger than life, over dramatic characters seen in other movies. If only more TV series were made like this.

This is an amazing series. Great acting. Good story line. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. One of the great things is what comes at the end of each episode. You have to watch the credits and then there is a short preview of what is coming next. However, after you get through all of that, they have a deeper look into the series. Very fascinating and informative. It helps explain how they came up with the concept, what they use to help make it so real, etc. I highly recommend watching this series and then making sure you watch the information after the credits.

The plot is well written on both the detective aspect and the emotional side. As the story unveils, audience can preceive the mental development of the main characters. The drama spent a reasonable amount of scene to shape the personalities, allowing us to connect with them. Not to mention Chang's excellent performance on portrating a grown up with Asperger's syndrome.

Everything are well balanced. Worth subscribing for Netflix just because of this!

This is more than a Police Drama or a whodunit. The emotions run high with the protagonist having Asperger's. The only problem is the length. They should have edited it to finish in 6 Episodes. I expected a typical serial killer show, was disappointed after 3 eps. But the show really touches your emotional chords in last 2 eps. It's really deep.. Not exhilarating but satisfying..

Season 1 is an extremely captivating mystery packed crime shies that carries a heavy punch in subject matter.

Show did a great job in mixing experienced-long-time actor/actress to rarely seen newcomers. Never at any point did I felt any of the acting was over dramatic or fake. It all felt so natural.

The story is well knit and full of mystery. Kept me engaged from the first minute. Each character has their own back story and each 'evidence' is slowly revealed to the audience with delicacy.

Hats off to the art team with all the details put into all the paperwork, photos, bodies and props. This show does rely heavily on these elements, so worth nothing.

EDIT: I recommend just season 1 as it is great. Season 2 is filled with coincidences, stupid concepts and dragged out scenes just to fill time. Hai-yin's importance diminishes and Xiao Meng's character is now over the top. Would not recommend season 2 unless you're really bored.

Both seasons not for the weak of heart. There are some graphic scenes and does deal with the matter of death heavily. If you enjoy mystery and crime solving with a twist--as well as can handle heavier subject matter--give season 1 shot.
