We’re used to TV series that begin with murder, but rarely does one come along with as shocking an opening two minutes as
The Bad Kids. It’s a great day for a walk, and that’s exactly what Zhang Dongsheng (Qin Hao) is out doing with his in-laws. They climb to a lookout high atop a rocky outcrop; Zhang takes out a camera to get a shot of the older couple as they sit on a large rock. He moves in close, seemingly to position them better for the camera – then suddenly someone pushes them to their deaths. Roll opening credits.
