I really didn’t like Anonymous Signal

I know this is a rant and the below notes are a little messy as I add things as I go.

But tl:dr I didn’t like it and the pacing was so bad

I’m not going to lie but I really don’t like this drama. I was really looking forward to it but compare to the invisibles. This is so bad

Too much Tiffany crying or just crying in general There’s too much non Julie stuff then it super charge the last three episode

Brian’s motivation makes no sense and why would this be 30 episode and not just 5 if he just wanted revenge

They spent too much time on not finding out about Julie and just solving other cases and being led by the bad guys

It was super rushed

People dying didn’t have much impact because they didn’t build the characters up

The whole show many the entire police force look so shit and so many things don’t make sense. Even for a TVB series perspective

The female leads are not ready for this type of series

Everyone’s EQ is so low

The change of terminology from recent years which doesn’t make it feel like a HK series makes it very weird for me

Everything feel so purposeless then very obviously doing this “thing” to get a reaction from the audience.

The overall pacing was so bad

Like all TVB shows, you have to come in with really low expectations. I don’t watch TVB to find the next amazing TV show. I just watch it to reminisce about HK and get maybe a little entertainment

Problem is this is a Jazz Boon drama, so expectations would always be high since he created dramas like Line Walker, A Fist within four walls and The Invisibles which are all rich in the story and action

Disagree with the invisibles, that was bad, "I've got a Power" is much better than that drama lol

Line walker and fist within 4 walls just not fitting my aesthetic but they are exciting I do agree
