    I would give nine starts out of ten!

    Def one of the best serials and I literally registered my freaking IMDb account just for reviewing this fascinating serials. It presented delicate plots which conducted by 15-year-old kids and every frame of the serials indicated dedicated work provided by the director. I would say this is one of the best serials of the 2020! I mean, just watch it, or you would never know what you are missing!!

    The best series of the 2020

    What amazed me most is not how fascinating the assassinations occurred but how the real life of China of 15 years ago was vividly presented in the series and how the life of 1 self-abased teacher, 2 eye-half-shut parents and 3 sensitive kids accidentally mix together and obscures the boundary between good and evil.

    Blow me away

    Initially, the show seemed to me like Stranger Things. Then, as things became intense, I felt like watching Breaking Bad. In the end, realizing how the ending could be interpreted two ways, it made me think of Fight Club. I haven't binge watch a show for a couple years now, until this one. Really enjoy this.

    A masterpiece of Chinese suspense drama that hasn't been seen for a long time

    The plot is closely linked with each other. The opening song, the ending song and the interlude are all carefully designed, and the plot bedding and details are full of meaning. All the actors performed very well. Since then, I have a psychological shadow on the protagonist Zhang Dongsheng.

    Preposterous plot which grew progressively worse

    Nevertheless as a student of Chinese I persevered to the end, 12 sessions. Lots of technical flaws, and an unbelievable plot. Acting of the three central characters, teenagers/children pretty convincing in frankly silly situations.

    Cinematography and settings are pretty good, but the succession of deaths and murders and lack of involvement of the police were too much of a stretch of the imagination. Yet I enjoyed some of the family relationship portrayals, and the grey mean streets and quarters and dockyards.

    The series was notably lacking in smiles and humour and similarly grey in setting and tone, but a special commendation goes to the actor who portrayed Pupu, a professional performance for one so young.

    Definitely not recommended unless you are a Chinese language study freak (as I am)
