The chemistry among the main characters was quite intense, and fun to follow. But that was about it.

There are people who are skilled in reading others' face. I know some of them. Even I can, to some extent, read people's mind from facial expressions. After all, we DO express our thoughts with them. And we can safely say there are commonalities, but the rest very much depends on each person, each situation, which was, on some occasions, featured in the episodes too. The foundation of the entire drama is that recognizing people's mind by his/her facial expression is universal enough to call it "science". And it is this very bottomline that the drama itself fails to convince.

Even with the fact that the whole story is based on actual person's activity (Mr. Ekman and co.), after the third episode of series one, I am telling myself, "My mom would have read that! What is Lightman so complacent about?" Yeah, I ain't calling him Dr. Ekman!

The story would have been far more entertaining if Lightman was doing this face-reading as a side business. It sadly deserves cancellation after the third series.

I wish I didn't see this one till the end. The narrative just won't add up. Hard to relate with anyone in the film, and couldn't care less whatever happens to them. The only reward is that there was a nice look at Jen Hong for a few sec. All I remember in the end is that most of the main characters were yelling at somebody or something at one point.

This has very little to do with the biblical 'Noah' that we know of. Of course there are disputes as to how the narrative should be read (whether as historical fact or myth). Even those who do not take it as historical event, they would at least attempt to read out the intent of the narrative. For those who know the Noah narrative proper, the film leaves no point, and for those who are not familiar with the original story, this is just confusing. Either way, there is no point of religious edification, nor is there any point of entertainment. This film has not only spoiled the narrative itself, but more so the message which this story has conveyed for centuries. And since this narrative belongs to what we generally accept as "religious", we can safely call this a blasphemy in its own right. Best left in the basement to rot.
