User Reviews

I just finished the first episode

I give it a 7 because I cannot go any higher until I know more.

Whether or not I can go back and give it an 8 depends on how well they glue things together in subsequent episodes.

Are they making more episodes ? I have it on Netflix. Usually you get a whole season or more. This is odd, having only one episode so far.

That being said, I think this is pretty captivating so far.

I saw one reviewer so far gave it a rather negative review. I simply disagree.

The locations are intriguing, the filming style is intriguing, and the story I think has started off with great potential.

It kept my attention in spite of being a foreign film with subtitles and not a lot of cool kung fu moves :) ... although there is violence.

Yes I want to know what happens next and who, really, are the good guys and bad guys. So far we have some usual suspects, but, are we really sure ?
