Great show, could use a bit of happiness
I recently came back from Thailand, a country that impressed me a lot, so I decided to watch this series to revive a bit of my experience there.
While the portrait of Thailand was faithful (as far as I can judge from such a small time there), I just saw Thailand as a shinny, happy and peaceful place. In this series, there's just disgrace, disgrace and more disgrace. Couldn't someone at least be happy in this series? Why everybody had to be so hopelessly lost and miserable?
Don't get me wrong, I loved the series - it is a great show. But it was, at the same time, a 10- hour torture, because nothing gets better for anyone. I just wish a bit of the good sides of Thailand and of the Thai people were reflected in the show. Too much focus on "thais-just- want-to-rip-off-and-will-do-it-all-for-money" and "typical-depressed-scandinavian", and too less focus on the beauty, generosity and happy vibes of Thai people and on how healing it is to be in that paradise.
