I was sucked in at episode 1. Plenty of characters to like but dislike at the same time, and many characters to just love. I especially got a kick out of the Mahjong playing Aunties. I now want to find The #1 Seafood Restaurant and all the other restaurants in the show. Over the top and fun situational action in addition to well coriographed fight scenes. Some unexpected character twists kept me emotionally engaged for the entire season. Final episode ties up the specific issue in the season but set up for many season 2 possibilities. PLEASE SAY THERE WILL BE A SEASON 2, (and include my favorite Mahjong Aunties).
The order of shots made sense and the story could be followed, even with flashbacks. Moon shots were incredible. Felt like I was on the Moon. Landscape and background both looked real/authentic (in my untrained astronomical opinion). The actor interactions were smooth and believable. I have seen the film two times so I have the benefit of watching the details of the shots in telling the story. The script had conversations that would be expected and things that were not and made me think what would be my experience on the Moon. I've contemplate what I would have on the bench with me if I was on the Moon. (The dog was the perfect choice for the film, who can't love that dog.) Thank you to Toy and everyone who worked on the film for an enjoyable watch!
