Entre o Desejo e a Morte

I was really impressed by the series. Reminds me of "Black Mirror", each episode stands on its own and you don't know what to expect going into each one. Taiwan cinema has really improved since the 90s. The quality rivals that of award-winning independent films.

It's like they borrowed pieces of plots from various horror movies, put them in a blender, and threw them at the screen. The episodes are poorly done and very boring.

They tried too hard to make something special (ok ok it is ART) but the result was flat, obscure, and boring.

Loved it, a Sci fi anthology Where each episode stands alone. In the Netflix explanation it says " watch in any order" thanks for the permission, that's what sold me... Enjoy the ride. I'm hoping for another season. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more if this directors works.

This Taiwanese series consists of seven unrelated stories. Each involves death. Some have supernatural elements and others are more down to earth. To describe just one; a man is killed in a car crash and finds himself back to a time earlier in the evening. He tries to do things differently but although details have changed he dies again at the same place and time. Time keeps looping and he tries to figure out what happened... he isn't the only person involved in the loop.

I rather enjoyed this series. There is a fine atmosphere in each episode; each has a fairly distinctive look. The stories provide some interesting turns; some less expected than others. While each episode features death they have different tones; some are spooky, others are tragic and one even has a feel good ending of sorts. Just don't expect everything to be explained. Overall an intriguing series that I'd recommend for those looking for something a little different.

These comments are based on watching the series in Mandarin with English subtitles.
