Complaints

- SSSS: 32 complaints. Too many kissing and erotic scenes - morally offensive and not suitable to be shown on prime time hours; Displeased by the overuse of fur in the costumes; Plot is inconsistent with history; Too many English lines and the actors mispronounced the English words; Displeased by the colonial landscaping; Didn't like the 2HR premiere.
- Highs and Lows: 14 complaints. The story is illogical and damages HK police's reputation; Displeased that the gang rape scene was cut; Displeased that the series used the gang rape scene to promote better ratings.

Response

- Damian Lau denied the 'erotic' scenes in SSSS. "Write it however they want, it’s just their own wishful thoughts!" Regarding the daring intimate scenes with Tavia, first Tavia bites Damian's lip and then seduces him to sleep with her, but there wasn't a generation gap between them. Damian said: "Actually I've done kiss scenes before, it's really nothing. We communicated before the shoot. (Awkward?) Acting is a form of artwork. I don't see it is an erotic drama. Asking me this question, is just like asking a painter of their reaction to drawing nude women."
- SSSS producer (Chong Wai Kin): "The erotic scenes are suppose to convey the supremacy of men during that time period."
