Yes, but it came across as Fiendish Oriental Hokum. There has to be a way to do Chinese gangs as terrifying and contemporary and still Chinese, but they didn't find it. Even Watson's remark about the audience being so small it must be art was off; I've been to traditional Chinese drama, and it drew a crowd of several hundred.

I thought Caitlin Moran's appreciation (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/tv-radio/article2673621.ece) in The Times was surprisingly on the ball (except she's clearly on the wrong track with Moriarty!)
