Flying Tiger III (2021)

Perfect ending to the 飞虎 trilogy

The first season was great with certain inconsistencies, the less said of the second season the better. Somehow, the third season in my opinion was the best of the bunch, extremely shocking for HK drama standards.

So, how did they make it better?

We start with the plot:
The story can be split into 2 parts, Argunbia and DH2. I felt that both parts were extremely well written and executed, and both the parts started and ended on a high note. I could not expect better fight scenes too. Usually for a 飞虎 show it is meant to be a all action, guns a-blazing plot. However, this drama managed to mix in emotional scenes and character development, improving from the first season.

To add on, although the main point of the story is on the special taskforce S Team, there are still some 飞虎队 elements inside, improving on the horrific second season. Honestly, this season was the perfect ending with a blend of both prequels.

Acting:
I felt that Michael Miu acted amazingly not as a Police officer, but as a sort of criminal/police hybrid, a little bit like his 雷霆扫毒 character 向荣. I always loved Bosco's dramas but his performance in this one was peak, especially in the last episode and his duel against Oscar Leung (who I think also did quite well). Can't say the same for Ron Ng though as his role is quite generic.

Not just the main cast were good. There were many smart choices for casting as well. The choice that they made to get Moses Chan as a cameo to be replaced by 展sir Joe Ma as well as casting a veteran actor Roger Kwok as 杜文彬 was incredible.

Songs:
I love GEM but that song is no 飞虎 song. It is better than the Karen Mok one in season 2 though. Much better.

Rewatch:
It made my heart palpitate the entire time. Definitely worth a rewatch!

That wraps up my 飞虎 reviews. Overall I really hope that they do decide to make a 4th season as long as they have a proper theme song.
