again begging @Trakt to do something about these before-release reviews.

this has 95% critics rating and 100% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it's 30% here on Trakt?

Completely agree with you, I've been complaining about this. Seen the first episodes and I really liked it.

@klovarr sadly I have a feeling I know why people are doing that. I just watched the first episode and it's awesome!

@klovarr Why? You know it's meaningless, just stop checking the ratings here.

@balazs955 Exactly. This site doesn't provide fair or accurate rating or commenting. It heavily favors people who write positive comments or reviews.

@klovarr we hide ratings before an item is released. Once it's released and starts getting normal ratings, the early ratings have very little effect on the overall percentage. There is a VIP forum thread where someone gives examples of this. This should be considered a support issue and not be left as a comment.

Well that was fun. It's not the greatest show I've seen this month but it was enjoyable enough to binge watch.

The first few episodes were great, the middle ones were just okay, and then the last two were fantastic. I think they wrapped the season up nicely and gave that extra end bit it's second season opportunity. I'm a fan of Chinese dramas and this opened exactly like one but it was definitely like a marvel movie than a Chinese drama.

I think they did a good job at showing what it's like to be a kid in highschool and just wanting to fit in. how friendships can shift and you can be lost for no reason at all.

loved: the jokes, the characters, the music, acting was good, the overall themes of self acceptance and identity.

didn't like: kind of dragged on, the ending was not that surprising tbh, sometimes it felt so obvious, and stereotypical but that's also sort of the point. hated the romance. (and I love romance like love it but oof). also veryyyy westernized so uhhhh yeah.

rewatch value: 7/10

This could’ve made a truly amazing limited series. I felt like there was such great circularity and like tying together of things in the last episode. The weaving of beyond repair was powerful imo

I found this to be a fun lighthearted reinterpretation of chinese stories they do alot of homages to kungfu movies which is great definitely a safe way to get the family into kungfu films or shows

The first episode was great and I'm looking forward to watching the remaining. If you are interested in watching, judge for yourself. You can't always trust the ratings on this site.

Loving it so far. Some scenes transported me to the 90's Kung Fu stories.

Well I'm a sucker for this type to shows, so I'm biased, but the cast is awesome and the story is captivating, if you have the time give this show a watch.

Not a bad show - a little slow at times. But overall well done. The action scenes are fun to watch.
The reason I had to downgrade the show is because of a personal issue. I absolutely loathe reading movies and TV shows. There is no reason, none, that they couldn't do all the dialogue in English.

A season 2 could be interesting . . . if it ever comes.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Really amazing! If you're interested and enjoy watching kugfu and martial art type fight you're surely gonna enjoy it. It brilliantlly uses sub plot in the storyline. Sometimes, it's dumb but mostly it's deep.

A Chinese propaganda show. It's fucking America, make the show in English and stop forcing us to read sub titles. Disney has been taken over by Chinese just like everything else. If Disney was fair they would've made Ms. Marvel fully in Indian language or any of the Spanish shows entirely in Spanish.

American Born Chinese are highly raciest against LGBT+ and this show continues the stereotype. Plus the show makes anyone who is not Chinese into a bumbling idiots thus being raciest against everyone else.

@whos_ur_buddha WTF, are you blabbing about? How did it LGBT, even if did and even if represented Chinese stereotypes it was for comedy. How can you expect something serious from a comedy show.

Why bother placing comments. This piss of shit site removes user comments that go against all the hyper sensitive users who break down crying as soon as they read something that isn't full of rainbows and sunshine. Case in point, my next comment will be removed by the site.

This site was one of the best, even better than IMDB, but over the past 2 years trust is completely lost due to comments being one side.
