Synopsis
Five anthology episodes about Taiwanese parents pushed to dystopian extremes by their kids' education.
What makes On Children worth watching
Black Mirror-tinted Taiwanese anthology.
On Children represents a strong example of taiwan drama from the 2018 production cycle. Taiwanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Drama and Sci-Fi elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Various. It originally aired on PTS, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
