HKTV is finally coming on November 19!
With everything that is happening in Hong Kong right now, HKTV finally launching is definitely great news. As a bit of background, the free-to-air TV market in Hong Kong is pretty much a monopoly (TVB). In recent years, the other channel (ATV) which had some decent programming in the past (like the 90s) doesn’t even…

Line Walker Episodes 16 to 20 thoughts
One step forward, two steps back. That’s kinda what I felt after the fourth week. It wasn’t bad per se, not much happened in episodes 16 and 17 but I guess we have to take a breather after the action packed previous week. The main issue is we now have several impending developments that I’m…

Line Walker Episodes 11 to 15 thoughts
EXCITEMENT!!!! If I was a bit apprehensive about Line Walker being ‘just another TVB series featuring cops, undercover cops, dirty cops, triads’, then the third week completely blew my expectations out of the water. It is fast paced, no draggy plots and keeps you on your toes. Of course it’s not perfect, but if it…

Line Walker Episodes 6 to 10 thoughts
How about we start with a game? This was the question posed to the audience (HK residents can use the TVBfun app to send in their answers) So the question is – Help Cheuk Sir to find the five undercovers! 1. Bau Seed (Raymond Lam) – Confirmed to be an undercover. But I…

Line Walker Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts
I think I’m starting to learn that if I keep expectations low, I’ll enjoy a series more.

Upcoming TVB series Line Walker: An interview with the producer
This article from TVB Weekly was from a few months ago (April I think) but I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now! Given that Line Walker (使徒行者) will be premiering on 25 August, I figured it’s about time to dig this up again. 🙂 I guess the only reason I’m…

Ruse of Engagement – Carson and Yip Ting moments
I still have a half (or maybe even less) written post about Ruse of Engagement but I just thought I’d take a moment to remember this ship. A ship that was never meant to sail. Actually, I don’t know whether the writers intended to at least give them something more because RoE was filmed in…

Ruse of Engagement Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts
(I’m a bit behind on this series and I know I won’t be able to catch up until next month. So I don’t want to see any SPOILERS please!!!! Although I think I saw one just by doing a simple Google search. WTH!) In the last couple of years I haven’t watched that many…
