A Amazon Prime show starring John Simm. Yah, who? I'd never heard of him before this.
Anyway, John Simm plays Jonah, a British professor who has a wife that spends a lot of time in Hong Kong on business. Then she dies in a car accident. So he goes to Hong Kong for the final arrangements and gets to meet her husband of twenty years. And her daughter. Oops, helluva a way to find out your wife has been leading a double life. And that car accident wasn't so much of an accident. Intrigue ensues.
The story is interesting but slow. The pace is somewhat offset by being set in Hong Kong so you get to be a bit of TV tourist. When you finally get shown what all is going on it is underwhelming. Not as bad as 'The Widow' (which was awful) but the chain of events seem improbable given the conclusion. If even one of the characters involved had said, "This is a bad idea so why should I even bother?" then the nefarious plot would have ground to a halt.
In the end, the show is kind of boring due to bad pacing and a highly improbable plot. Watch it if you got time to kill but otherwise it doesn't stand out.

Someone is really trying to kill time until Game of Thrones comes back.
