I absolutely loved Into the Badlands, so when I heard about this new show, I was excited! Was thinking it was going to be just as epic as Into the Badlands. Man, was I wrong!! Thoroughly disappointing show!! I had to force myself to sit thru each episode because I wanted to watch just the martial art fight scenes. Mind you only a handful of them were solid (the ones with Lewis Tan and Iko Uwais). Why wasn't Mark Dacascos given more fight screen time?? And Lewis Tan should've been cast as the lead. Sorry Iko, but your acting needs drastic improvement...monotone, deadpan, dropped lines, etc. The acting overall was terrible! The sad thing is you have veteran actors on this show like Byron Mann, Tommy Flanagan, Mark Dacascos, and Summer Glau. I'll blame the director and writers for these actor's out-of-the-norm subpar performances. I am thoroughly perplexed as to how this show is 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even The Iron Fist was way more tolerable to watch than this show!
