Last Madame

The acting and dialogue is wooden and very forced. That's as good as a rating as I could honestly give it.

I have it about 15 mins but gave up disappointed and subsequently removed it from my Netflix watch list.

Great to watch a series which is unpredictable, entertaining and intriguing. Thoroughly enjoyed this series.

This needs to be updated: there are 12 episodes. And it's a beautiful story.

Every time I was expecting the climax of Fung Lan's story, I felt I was constantly interrupted by Chi Ling's story. The idea of how Fung Lan's bravery transformed Chi Ling is actually brilliant, but I feel like the techniques can be different for the story to be more enjoyable.

It's like trying to sleep peacefully but yet the alarm keeps snoozing every 5 minutes...

The message about women going against the grain and not bowing down to life or men is what deeply touched my heart about this show. Costumes/makeup, lighting, and sound production is great. Although some characters are stiff in their acting and speech, actress/actors like Joanne Peh (as Fung Lan), Constance Lau, and Lina Ng really kept the overall acting up to standard.

I loved the premise and unlike some of the reviews, found the juxtaposition of both storylines compelling where we get both the "old" story and the modern day plot. It gave the show some tension and interesting subplots that carried its own weight. Characters were also fleshed out well and you can understand and empathise with the motivations of the leads. Joanne Peh is AMAZING, her best role ever, and the rest of the cast were convincing and very solid and did well - for the most part. However, the main female lead (Fiona Fussi) for the modern day storyline was absolutely awful. It was painful to watch her, sadly. I wish they casted better. Pretty sure she only got the role for her looks because she really cannot act. This could have been a perfect 10 show, if not for her awful acting. I hope to never see her on screen again.
