Maggie Cheung Counters Netizen’s Comments Netizens discussed Forensic Heroes 3 animatedly online, comparing Wayne Lai with Bobby Au Yeung (歐陽震華), who was featured in the first two installments of the same series. Netizens complained that actors holding the tablet PCs in the series was an eyesore. Reading the criticisms, Maggie Cheung (張可頤) posted on her blog, “Using a tablet PC for work, why was there such a big response? After thinking for a long time, I am still perplexed. How is the tablet PC different than hand held devices? This is now the world’s most common thing; is everyone still stuck in the Stone Age? Or searching for series from the 1980s?” Comparing Ratings for Recently Aired Series in the 9:30 PM Slot: The Other Truth <真相> (aired June 27, 2011) premiere peaked at 31 points Lives of Omission < 潛行狙擊> (aired August 1, 2011) premiere peaked at 30 points Men With No Shadows <不速之約> (aired September 12, 2011) premiere peaked at 23 points Forensic Heroes 3 <法證先鋒III> (aired October 10, 2011) premiere peaked at 35 points Creds: Ming Pao/Dramasian
Agree...Bobby and ah. Sheh were much better in the last one. I think Wayne is not that fit to modern...he better of with acient series..
Ahahahah Men with no shadows fits nowhere in that list. Forensic Heroes 1+2 fans might just see how good or bad 3 is. So we'll have to look at weekly avg.
the premiere wasnt even THAT good....Many have watch it, but not all liked it. Like LAughing said, PTs doesnt really mean anything....
A lot of people are expecting a lot form FH3, many fans watched that premiere, so rating should be high but will it stay that way cause it really wasn't that great.
HK viewers have always like this genre of drama that's why the ratings are so high. But I found the first two cases quite boring and I feel everyone is trying to 'chok' in most scenes.
