What are people saying about Expats?

Director Lulu Wang – who gifted us The Farewell in 2019 – has shared that her series plays against cultural stereotypes, instead gifting us something far more nuanced and astute.

“I always wanted to explore the intersectionality of class and race and gender, and I think that often in America, we talk about these things in a separated way,” she tells The Guardian.

“Hong Kong is so great, because it’s this intersection of very different walks of life, and you get to see all of the nuances. And I just wanted not to vilify anybody, but really just take the audience through a journey on which you might sympathise with someone and then they’ll do something that you disagree with, or you might hate them, but then come around to loving them. We’re at this moment in time where everything is so polarised, people are either heroes to be worshipped or they’re cancelled, so I wanted to show that these characters are all human and that everyone, regardless of their circumstance, is fighting their own battle, which in their world is a huge one.”
