So a couple of requests asked me to give a list of my favorite Chinese shows & movies, I tried. I'm not including 正剧, but only recent ones that possibly have English subtitles. So it's a very partial list, please don't come @ me with "you missed this" 😅 Douban score included. https://twitter.com/mrkelvinchow/status/1303357860546396161
First off is my absolute favorite 琅琊榜. Some have compared it to the Count of Monte Cristo, because it's also a story of revenge. Grand plot with dozens of characters without losing attention to the subtle emotions and clues. Also the best OST. 豆瓣 9.3

Next up: 白夜追凶 Day & Night. Available on Netflix. A cop show, where two men, the top detective & his twin brother who happens to be a wanted criminal, switch on and off during day & night. There are definitely times when I got too scared when I watched it on my own. 😬 豆瓣9.0

An older but all-time classic: 潜伏 Lurk from 2009. A meticulous Communist spy made it into the upper echelon of the KMT while trying to conceal his identity. Many would regard this as their favorite show. It's certainly one of the smartest. Not sure about English subs... 豆瓣9.3

2 spin-offs of 琅琊榜 Nirvana in Fire: 伪装者 the Master in Disguise came out along with 琅琊榜, and they used the same cast. I personally never made it past episode 10, because I can't stand one actress, but people really love this spy thriller set in ROC Shanghai. 豆瓣8.5

琅琊榜II之风起长林 Nirvana in Fire 2 follows the story of the younger generation in the original. It's not on par with the original, but the final 1/3 was fantastic, and it doesn't have the predictable "main character energy" many shows suffer from. Available on YouTube. 豆瓣8.5
