Trivia
While the series is set in Hong Kong, and Production spent several months shooting there, due to Nicole Kidman's reluctance to return to Hong Kong and follow Quarantine procedure, a large amount of re-shoots took place in Los Angeles, as can be confirmed by the number of LA based Asian American actors playing supporting roles.

Expats...more like Exhausted

This episode had a lot of interesting threads but ultimately it just circled back to the same ugly conclusions we've known all along...the rich wives are incredibly self-absorbed, selfish and rude and will discard people that are no longer 'useful' to them, the rich kids are super whiny and annoying and Mercy is just one hella messed up, manipulative character. This episode is marketed as being focused mainly on the 'helpers' but it's not solely focused on them and still taints their value to society in terms of their 'usefulness'.

Also, way too much singing which got aggravating fast. They try to match the lyric to the action like 'oh look?! See what we did there?!'
