One of the Best Crime Dramas I’ve Seen in a While

This is probably one of the best crime TV shows I’ve seen in a long time. The plot isn’t 100% perfect, but it’s still really good and engaging. The camera work is unique, and the acting is amazing. There are a lot of veteran actors, and I was floored by how good they are, so smooth, so down-to-earth and natural.

If you’ve watched Breaking Bad, this show gives off a very similar vibe, and they definitely borrow quite a few elements from it. That said, this is actually based on the real-life drug lord Liu Zhaohua, who manufactured something like 30 tonnes of meth. Qin Hao's done an amazing job portraying him.

The ending wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but it feels like the right one considering the overall tone of the show. 10/10 would definitely rewatch this again.
