HONG KONG, CHINA: Inspired by the 2016 novel 'The Expatriates' by Janice YK Lee, the 'Expat' made its streaming debut on January 26. The show explores the challenges faced by three women as they battle their own inner demons.

The series shows the difficulties endured by expatriates to integrate into a foreign culture. The series also addresses aspects related to family secrets and the realities of being an expat.

A user on X wrote, "The reason I watched this show is Nicole Kidman . #Expats." Gushing about Kidman, users complimented the show and termed it a fantastic watch. "First 2 episodes of expats was so good. save me, nicole kidman... save me," wrote an X user.

"Nicole Kidman is wonderful as Margaret woo in expats," said another X user.



 

Additionally, Lulu Wang's efforts to convey the complexity of a gripping drama are being acknowledged on the Internet.

Voicing the same viewpoints, an X user wrote, "Anchored by titanic performances from Nicole Kidman and Sarayu Blue, Lulu Wang's Expats is a smart and mature drama that is so intensely character focused that, at times, it feels overwhelming. I highly recommend it. #PrimeVideo #Expats."

Another internet user termed the series, magnificent for its brilliant camera work and rated it four and a half out of five stars to the show. 

"Lulu Wang's EXPATS is a spellbinding tale of people experiencing trauma and sharing it. Wang majestically uses her camera skills to show the unknown horrors of human lives. Nicole Kidman and Ji-young Yoo are great, Sarayu Blue is extraordinary. Magnificent! &1/2," shared the user.



 

Will there be a second season for the 'Expats?'

With good reception and positive reception for the first two episodes, viewers are wondering if the show will return for a second season. Currently, the production company has not made an official announcement regarding the show's second season.

However, it would be fascinating to watch how Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Mercy (Ji-young Yoo), and Hillary (Sarayu Blue) handle their personal lives.

The second season might delve further into Margaret's comeback to her profession as a landscape architect, where she can live as herself, free from all external obligations.

Mercy, on the other hand, could simply let go of her guilt and move on with her life. It would also be intriguing to see Hillary separate from her adulterous spouse and move on.

Overall, a second season of the show has the potential to capture the essence of forgiveness, independence, and moving on.

'Expats' Episodes 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Prime Video
