Til Death Do Us Part

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

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.

The first episode got me interested, i thought they are trying a spin-off of "Russian Doll" seriers, but that was only an episode. Was it satisfying? NO. Did it lead to a conclusion? Still NO.

Each episode has a different theme and the ending is open, it's up to us what we understand of it.

I just wanted to end this series, happy that episode 10 was the last one. No episode is connected to another, it's like a series of random, unexplained events.

If you watched and liked episode 1, stop there, it gets worse, a lot worse. The worst episode is the IG one.

I give it 2/10 stars for the first episode.

Good stories, good acting, great cinematography. A slow sensual dark burn. Perfect for a rainy day and just losing yourself in this imaginary world. Tai series are generwell done. I look forward to more of them.

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.
