Expats explores grief, privilege, and displacement: The new drama series, created by Lulu Wang, three American women — Margaret, Hilary, and Mercy — navigates loss, privilege, and emotional upheaval in the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong.

Margaret (Nicole Kidman), is a landscape architect dealing with a tragic incident that shatters her family's picture perfect image. As Margaret unravels, her friend Hilary (Sarayu Blue), struggles to maintain the facade of her seemingly perfect life, while Mercy (Ji-young Yoo), confronts her own sense of displacement and guilt in a foreign land.

The series has faced criticism for its handling of Hong Kong’s political turmoil, including pro-democracy protests, but it offers a nuanced glimpse into the lives of those caught in the crossfire of social upheaval.

Despite its occasional missteps, the storyline remains a compelling and thought-provoking narrative, earning it the accolade of Time’s pick for “ the first must-see show of 2024.”
