Review of Mainland

Expats: Mainland (2024)
Season 1, Episode 4
8/10
Tension and pacing is spot on for this one
9 February 2024
I have watched and reviewed all 3 episodes so far. Episodes 1 was good, 2 & 3 were very average, but wow, episode 4 really knocks it out of the park. It is relentless and unforgiving. It reveals another side to all the characters that you honestly didn't expect. Not much happens action wise, but there is a much bigger payoff.

The sense of claustrophobia is created very well and the camera work and lighting really serves the story. Nicole Kidman and Brian Tee are great in this one. I enjoyed the storytelling between Hilary and her mother.

And of course the wonderful extras bring a sense of reality to the story.
