As a lifelong lover of Asian cinema and TV, and the cultures in general, I find this to be yet another fantastic example of a slow-burning Chinese drama. It has everything I want from such a vehicle... well developed characters that occupy a fascinating environment, interesting cultural elements and historical themes, intriguing traditional mysticism, all bound up in a truly compelling narrative. Oh and zombies! My one slight criticism is with the subtitles, they go by so fast that I often have to rewatch a scene so as to make sure that I can follow all of the action onscreen. But I guess that's maybe more of a flaw in me than in the production itself. I watched season one on Netflix in only two sittings and I'm extremely pleased to say that I've just begun to watch season two on Amazon Prime and I expect to get through it in a similarly short amount of time. I just cannot recommend this fabulous show enough. 9\10.
