The New York Times blogs<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Someone named Anna Sophie Loewenberg, a onetime editor at Beijing Scene<\/a>, has managed to flounce her way into China and join its social ranks as a Mandarin-fluent, boy-crazy and only slightly alienated Beijinger. (She’s from a Shanghai Jewish family.) Or at least she makes it look that way in “Sexy Beijing<\/a>,” an online series, on a broadband channel of the same name<\/a>, in which she plays the intrepid expat Su Fei, someone like Carrie Bradshaw and perhaps like herself.<\/p>\n

She’s terrific in the role, and she keeps making episodes—I’m impressed by their sheer number—that recently captured the attention of PBS<\/a> and The Atlantic Monthly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But don’t let the mainstream attention put you off. These things are funny. Loewenberg is quick and has a light touch, and the things Chinese people tell her are quietly astounding.<\/p>\n

Try to watch just one.<\/p>\n
