In the captivating Prime Video limited series 'Expats,' creator LuLu Wang takes viewers on a journey through the lives of three American women living in Hong Kong. Adapted from Janice Y.K. Lee's novel 'The Expatriates,' this series delves deep into the complexities of grief and pain, shedding light on the circumstances that test compassion and forgiveness.
Unlike Wang's previous acclaimed film 'The Farewell,' which balanced humor and melancholy, 'Expats' focuses solemnly and poignantly on the struggles of its characters. Through a slow-burning narrative spanning a year, we become intimately acquainted with Margaret, Hilary, and Mercy - three women whose lives are irreversibly altered.
