Detention (Chinese: 返校; pinyin: Fǎnxiào) is a Taiwanese supernatural horror drama television series, created for Netflix in collaboration with Public Television Service, based on the video game of the same name developed by Red Candle Games. It premiered on 5 December 2020.[1][2]

Based on the game set in the period of martial law known as the White Terror in Taiwan, Detention entwines the suffocating political situations under martial law and heart-stopping legends of local deities, portraying a labyrinth of unspeakable oppressions.

Transfer student Yunxiang Liu (Lingwei Lee) enters a forbidden area of the school grounds, where she encounters the ghost of Ray-Xin Fang (Ning Han).
