Expats, set in 2014 Hong Kong, revolves around three American women – Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Sarayu Blue), and Mercy (Ji-Young Yoo) – whose lives intertwine following a sudden family tragedy. The series delves into themes of privilege, exploring the complexities that arise when the line between victimhood and culpability becomes blurred.
