The trailer looked good, as was the choreography, but the plot as well as the visual effects, not so much!

Plus, what will season 2 mean; the wu assassin will now find worthy hosts of the wu elements?

Excellent stereotype. Asian means you can do martial arts. Not much has changed. So I assume this is not bad writing, but a way to fix the racist stereotype by making the main character ignorant in the Chinese ways as a white male from Mid West. And, of course, the bad white guy is Russian, the archetypal US adversary. And the American born are fearless police ready to uphold the just law. Now add super powers. Yet the super powers still let them fight like in _Ong Bak_ or _The Raid_ and nothing like in the older Wu Xia movies.

And the best part: going to some second rate college to get drunk and become a writer for a NetFlix series is hard work, while becoming a chef or a fighter only take 15 minutes a day.

So watch it for the beatings and never mind the cook can't afford a food truck while paying for a huge flat all by himself in the cheapest town in America: San Francisco.

You've reached the end.
