Reborn has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in the US on Rakuten Viki, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 11 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Zhang Jingyi anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Start it on Rakuten Viki whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Reborn keeps coming up in conversation. At its heart, Reborn understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. In 2007, 16-year-old girl Qiao Qingyu and her family, tormented by rumors about her sister Qiao Beiyu's death, were forced to relocate from their small county town of Shunyun to the provincial capital of Huanzhou. In order to quickly restore their family's normal life, Qingyu, with the help of her classmate Ming Sheng, began searching for the true cause of her sister's death. The writing gets a boost from Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Yiran, who sell every scene they're in. It first aired in 2025. The plot mechanics of Reborn never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Reborn delivers. Viewers who responded to The Long Season will find a lot to like here too. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Watch Zhang Jingyi work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Reborn wrapped up in 2025, created by Qiang Yu — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
