There's no grit to the series. All the shows are very polished. They don't have a lived-in feel to them

I need more easter eggs.
...and better fight scenes ...and better story line ...and better performances I wonder how long it'll run. I'm still seeing fairly positive review and it's getting viewers. The sympathy vote?

e3 wow, this show just keeps getting worse. it's so painfully cw, almost like a bad parody. the dialog is so stilted. the end montage with some trendy song so cloyingly cliche.
but the reviews are still good. it's that stopasianhate sympathy vote. i just heard there were some incidents here - some grafitti and some urine dousing. goddammit. i feel the urge to call out the emperor's new clothes on this show.

I figured you bailed on this show since you didn't review it yesterday. My desire to see another episode wanes.

I’ve been watching it online which becomes available on Thursday.
I’ll see it through. It gives me something to complain about (as if I don’t have enough already).

I saw the first half hour of the third episode and decided I was done.

Ya know, I'm sitting on this grenade to absorb all the shrapnel with my ass just so you don't have to. And you watch it anyway. You're just letting my ass go to waste?
Honestly, I think I was done at the trailer. But I feel obligated. I keep thinking I need to Emperor's New Clothes Nicky for Den of Geek, but it's so delicate right now, plus one of the writers is a friend (although not a close one, more of an associate). Besides I have plenty of other things to write about now so why be so neg, right?

E4 has the most fights so far. One in the dark which was lame and a full out KungFu duel, which was also lame.
The CW soap aspect is getting even more cliche. Nicky’s jacket is even more Caine like and it looks out of place. This suckage continues.

E5 was the BLM/StopAsianHate Ep. It’s bookended by the dumb 8 weapon quest but the bulk of it is about a black kid being killed by the police and the protest following it. It’s still painfully CW, and there’s a tiny part of me that wants to say that it was pandering to the issue, but at the same time, it was good to see it represented, even if it was in that beautiful people CW way.
There’s an opening flirt fight that’s really weak. Nicki has no Kung Fu. I might forgive that if that actress had some acting chops, but she’s as cardboard as any CW actor. It’s the show’s weakest link. Tzi is playing a caricature of his kindly father typecast. I’m finding no character that I can relate to except maybe the villainess. And she wasn’t in this Ep.

E6 still bad.
A hackneyed heist plot. Painfully predictable right down to the dialog. The villainess has a bigger appearance and I do like her but that’s about it. 2 fights. Both weak and the final one was a cat fight but all the heavy lifting was clearly stuntmen in wigs and drag. I hate this show. And I can’t stop watching it.

When I saw the synopsis that said "Character X makes Character Y give up Kung Fu for a week" I knew I made the right decision to stop watching.

Now my experience is ruined. E5 was acceptable because it addressed the political climate that the success of this show is so heavily hinged upon right now. And the villainess is okay. But oh man... the Kung Fu sux. How can they not get that part right?
