Led by Nicole Kidman and directed by Lulu Wang, EXPATS is a gripping, elevated, evocative and hopeful exploration of relationships, friendships, and the human condition – as told through interwoven perspectives of an insular bubble of expats and the domestic workers who support their lavish lives. Set in the vibrant and varied Hong Kong, audiences will be visually and emotionally immersed in the compelling story and complex characters, whose disparate lives dramatically collide. The first two episodes will premiere on Prime Video January 26 with the remaining episodes released weekly.
SYNOPSIS: Set against the vibrant and tumultuous tapestry of 2014 Hong Kong, Expats centers on three American women—Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Sarayu Blue), and Mercy (Ji-young Yoo)—whose lives intersect after a sudden family tragedy. The series interrogates privilege and explores what happens when the line between victimhood and culpability becomes blurred. Brian Tee plays Margaret’s husband Clarke and Jack Huston plays Hilary’s husband David.

Movie Reviews
Mix Tape (TV miniseries) – Brings a warm nostalgia when recording songs onto a cassette tape was used to express your feelings.
From award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter Lucy Gaffy and 13 bestselling crime novels and screenwriter Jo Spain comes a romance drama television miniseries Mix Tape – adapted from a novel of the same name by Jane Sanderson.
The premise of the story takes place in Sheffield (the northern part of England) during 1989 where two teenagers, Alison and Daniel, fall in love. In a time before internet, social media, and cell phones, Daniel records music onto a cassette tape that reflect his feelings, thoughts, which he gives to Alison.
In present time, Daniel and Alison have moved on, both with successful careers and created their separate lives. Daniel appears to be caught in a moment and feels disillusioned with his current marriage. Daniel is tempted to reach out to Alison. Instead of calling or sending her a text, he decides to send her a song from their past that represents the feelings they shared as teenagers.

The Gen-Xers will reminisce those youthful years about early relationships when they hear those 80s songs played in Mix Tape. The first couple of episodes is truly nostalgic for those that grew up in that era and it will provide an opportunity for the newer generation to learn and bestow value to the pioneers of alternative/indie rock – maybe even give them a glimpse of understanding their parents or relatives. The series will also have you thinking the possibilities of “what if” you were to reconnect with your high school sweetheart.
The series stars Teresa Palmer (notable for her work in Warm Bodies) who does a wonderful job bringing out the sweet tender imaginative aspects of Alison. Palmer is paired with Jim Sturgess (known for his work in 21), which he makes a great sentimentalist for his character Daniel who longs for that “loving feeling” of the past. These two actors have fantastic on-screen chemistry, expressing the characters feelings and the ability to connect with the viewers. I am looking forward to the reset of the episodes and curious on the series finale and the songs they select from their teenage years.
Lucy Gaffy and Jo Spain absolutely complement each other with collaborating on the Mix Tape miniseries. It was exciting to see that it won the 2025 SXSW Film Festival 2025 Audience Award in the TV Spotlight category. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!
