Absolutely no subscriptions, not worth it at all. I just finished watching a few months ago "In the Name of the People", Chinese thriller about anti-corruption. Now I'm watching "The Knockout" which is in the same vein, but it hasn't gripped me strongly like the former did.
99.9% of western media is soooo bad.
Yeah western media sucks. It's not just that I dislike the messaging, it's just bad. A billion dollar production can't go five minutes without an over-produced CGI explosion. Subtlety is no long allowed. Every conversation needs to be a screaming match or a fight or a fuck. Every trope is driven by trope or absurdism.
Anyway, do you have the folder for "In the Name of the People"? If you do, can I have the magnet?
Yeah I totally agree. The level of tropes and anti-proletarian themes of so much western media is annoying.
INP is available to stream on youtube with both english and mandarin subtitles, that's where I watched it.
thanks. I didn't even try youtube
