"Nicole Kidman's 'Expats' Banned in Hong Kong Despite Filming Location"

TL;DR Summary
Nicole Kidman's new series "Expats," set in Hong Kong, is unavailable for viewers in the city, raising concerns about censorship amid tightening controls on political speech and civil liberties. The show, based on a book by a Hong Kong-born American writer and directed by a China-born American director, includes references to sensitive political events. This comes as the city's government plans to enact a local version of the 2020 National Security Law, and follows previous instances of content removal, sparking speculation about government involvement or self-censorship by companies.
