Til Death Do Us Part

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.

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.

I was really impressed by the series. Reminds me of "Black Mirror", each episode stands on its own and you don't know what to expect going into each one. Taiwan cinema has really improved since the 90s. The quality rivals that of award-winning independent films.

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.
