Excellent Women (2026)

Awesome show! I hope more people will give it a chance!

I really liked this show, and I hope more people will give it a chance. Almost everything was good - the story, acting, music, production, editing. There is mystery, suspense and plot twists. It left me guessing all the way to the end.

The first couple of episodes were confusing, but I was hooked by the conclusion of Episode 2. The show is about a group of women who come together to solve crimes: Wu Yue, a psychic; Yao Zhidi, the only woman in a misogynistic police department; Yang Moli, forensic medical examiner; Qiu Ya, daughter of a wealthy family who dreams of being a newspaper reporter; and Wei Qing, a sketch artist.

The show centers on unusual crimes weaving together two themes: one about a serial killer and the other about a secret immortality cult. The first episode is about a rickshaw driver whose late night passenger mysteriously dies. When the driver comes back with help, the dead passenger has aged 20 or 30 years.

The only drawback and what kept me from rating this an overall 10 is that the English subtitles were occasionally confusing. Most of the time I could figure out what was going on. The most common problem was that it got the pronouns mixed up. Like someone might be explaining a crime that they witnessed. and they would say, "He did this and that," but the translation would read "I did this and that." Also, when the characters talked about complex things, the subtitles would get confusing. Luckily, both the English and Chinese subtitles are displayed simultaneously, so when the dialogue got confusing, I used my translation app to read the Chinese subtitles. If you can live with this issue, the show is really worth watching.
