At first, it might appear that Amazon Prime Video's Expats is another high-end mystery miniseries starring Nicole Kidman, along the lines of Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Undoing. While much of Expats does fit the mold of Kidman's recent TV work, the six-episode series isn't really about the crime at the center of its plot. Kidman's Margaret is determined to find her missing son, but Expats is far less interested in solutions or answers, and anyone looking for a thriller full of clues and suspects will be disappointed. Based on the bestselling novel The Expatriates by Janice Y.K. Lee, Expats is more of a luxurious soap opera than a crime drama, and its meandering focus is one reason it ends up being a disappointment.
