    Hidden Gem with a Terrible Soundtrack
    Although the first several episodes were a bit cheesy, once you get into the meat of the story it's very intricate and engaging! I don't want to give it away but it's kind of like a superhero movie but with a better story and character development. Great martial arts action as well! Unfortunately for about 50% of the series the soundtrack is truly awful. You get some explicit rap music which doesn't match what's going on with the characters. In some scenes the music almost drowns out the dialog. Thankfully, The other 50% of the music fits nicely with what's going on. I would recommend giving this a try if you like good storytelling that will keep your interest throughout the 10 episodes.
