Excellent series. Graat acting. English subtitles is the better option. Towards the end of the series we see a religious dimension revealed in the plot, how poor/good life choices affect those around us. It holds it together till the last two episodes when Chinese military characters appear out of nowhere. By that stage it's too late to disengage, Im on the rollercoaster ride.
If found myself making a list for throughout the series:
1. Build a bunker in the middle of nowhere with underground hidden car access
2. Stock bunker with food, fuel etc
3. No affairs, don't need the additional drama
