The fear of living dishonestly, it appears, has made it easier than ever to justify sacrificing others on the altar of our own self-actualization. Part millennial social comedy, part psychedelic horror, and all wildly entertaining, A Touch of Jen is a sly, unflinching examination of the hidden drives that lurk just outside the frame of our carefully curated selves. But society sees Lo only as a criminal, and everywhere he goes, his ability to start anew is thwarted. If it’s now widely believed that life spent tethered to a smartphone is inherently suspect, performative, or false, the physicality of our devices is comparatively underdiscussed.

Remy’s failure to consummate things with Jen is the cherry on top of a disastrous weekend, but he and Alicia content themselves with the fact that she can never really be rid of them, no matter how hard she tries. Jade Fox’s experience challenges not only the villainous portrayal of her, but also the honor of Li Mu Bai’s quest for vengeance. With Shu Lien’s entreaty hanging over her, Jen reunites with Lo one last time and tearfully makes love to him, before leaving behind her comb. As he wallpapers his underground warren with cash, mocking and invalidating the currency, he registers a surrealistic but engrossing protest against divisive social norms.

This outré suggestion is indicative of the novel’s tone, which is both darker and more ironic than other entries in the genre. Alongside Wedding Season, Extraordinary was on the first slate of UK productions to be commissioned by Disney+ under the Star brand, as announced in April 2021.For all she achieved working within the society, Shu Lien becomes ambivalent about whether it was worth the steep cost. Emma Moran developed Extraordinary while completing her Master of Arts in Screenwriting at the University of Manchester, from which she graduated in 2020.

More nuanced and emotionally engaging is Demon’s fierce attachment to his home ground, a place where he is known and supported, tested to the breaking point as the opiate epidemic engulfs it. As the film ends and the landscape of granite peaks slowly fades to black, it’s hard not to feel like Jen has finally found peace. To learn from the mistakes of the prior generation, Jen should pursue her love for Lo, if not continue her training at Wudan, or so it would seem. The intensity of these lines is representative of the singlemindedness with which she pursues closeness to Mizuko, a mission greased by Rupert’s summary dumping of Mizuko and the fact that Alice has already “dissected the pictorial equivalent of her DNA”; knowing all of Mizuko’s tastes in advance, she can pass them off as her own. It premiered on the Disney+ Star platform internationally, Star+ in Latin America and Hulu in the United States, on 25 January 2023.Touch spent a few weeks prior sorting her set-up from her Berlin studio and gathering the tools she needed to complete the record. This is Ingrid, who, we learn in the opening sequence, has recently lost her mother and has a history of forming attachments over social media unhealthy enough to land her in a psychiatric hospital. It reminded her of her great grandparent’s story, and the house they built in the 30s that was her sanctuary as a child. Operating on the fringes, Jade Fox resorts to underhanded fighting techniques such as the use of poison and traps.
