- TriviaSingapore gained independence in 1961 and all vice including brothels and gambling became illegal and was closed down...this is supposed to be 1964. Singapore joined Malaysia in 1963 and became fully independent in 1965. Vice was not cleared up overnight!
- GoofsMandarin wasn't very commonly used for day to day conversation in Singapore during the 1960s. Regional dialects like Hokkien (Min Nan) were way more common, even amongst expatriates that spoke local languages.
Featured review
As a Singaporean, coming across an English drama series that defines an era of change is hard to come by both in terms of depth and originality. My review may seem biased as i've only watched an episode (half an episode to be honest) but unlike those slapstick nonsensical series which have plague local airwaves with their superficial story lines and amateurish acting, this is something entirely different. It is a mind boggling piece of art that has long been overdue. I personally love its historical references of my home country and the appearances a local cast of actors makes it that little more intrinsic. The settings and environments bring a sense of nostalgia with props and costumes of that era. I would recommended it to anyone.
