Anyone started this yet? Just popped up on my feed last night and looks like an absolute blast (and Michele Yeoh is a national treasure even if she's not American).

I'm two down and so dig it.

Watched ep 1 last night and this might be my new favorite show. They had me at the very first scene and the action sequences across the board are SO good.

OMG. If the rest of the episodes are as good as the first two I'm going to predict this will be the best series of the year.

That Jurassic Park moment was hilarious. The humor in this show is great and the casting is perfect.

Ok finished the whole season. This series is so good. A couple things that bothered me in the end, but everything else totally makes up for it. The writing is just so good.

Watch it and give it a shot.

We are 3 episodes in and have loved every second. Such a fantastic freaking show thus far.

Glad y'all started this thread! Watched ep 1&2 and love it

Really great series…lot of fun.

Halfway through and still loving this. Blood Boots is my favorite character by far

Binged this last night. Great show, and I look forward to season 2! I did think that the last episode seemed a bit rushed, but that's just me.

Just finished this last night. All in all, it was fine, and I don't regret the time spent on it, but I won't be recommending it it. I really liked it until the final few episodes.

The actress who plays the prosecutor/detective is bad. I found myself not looking forward to scenes she was in.
When the police/FBI/DEA (and whoever else) were watching the bugged phone on the TV, why did they not have someone staking out the house and see that he left? They staked out the celebrity/actors house, but they were all just sitting in a room wondering why the phone wasn't moving. Dumb
Why did the Triads not have security outside the restaurant? All of their body guards were standing behind them, but not one person outside. The police and Boxers just walked right in. Dumb
They hold the one brother for discharging a firearm in the street. Not the murder that happened 30 seconds before that. Not the murder of a dozen police officers in the restaurant. Shooting in the street. Dumb
I liked the fight scenes, and yes it was ridiculous that they all stab each other while gunfire is everywhere in the room. I kind of rolled my eyes at that, but I still liked the fighting.

I wasn't expecting the show to be realistic or believable, and I didn't need it to be for me to really enjoy it, but the final two episodes just seemed so rushed, and they did so many things that were just ridiculous and/or dumb. It kind of soured a show that I was really enjoying up until then.

Overall it's definitely worth the watch. It's funny and entertaining with some good action sequences. I did think it could have been just as good if not better in about 6 episodes… there were some filler scenes thrown in there. I also thought there were times when the show couldn't decide what kind of show it wanted to be. That's not to mention most of the police stuff being silly and unbelievable.

It's a solid story and a good one to watch, especially if you're running low on content when football ends.

The issues you describe in the last few episodes are some of the things that bothered me in the end as well. I thought it was a bit lazy writing and somewhat in contrast to the very good writing from earlier in the season. But the season overall was great to me and made up for those shortcomings with the ending. For me the style of humor throughout combined with the action I found really enjoyable.

I think with the ending...they fell back on their kung fu roots and just said screw the writing, we're here for the action.

And now I hear not renewed - what is the criteria?

Heard good things about this show but didn't start it because I saw S2 was a no-go. Is it still worth watching or does it end with a cliffhanger we will never see resolved?

I just finished S1 of House of Ninjas and I need a new series on Netflix and wanted to give this a try. Too bad about it not being renewed, but I will still give it a go.

Also feel like Ninjas will meet a similar fate seems like Netflix does this more often than not.

Really bummed at this news. Was looking forward to Season 2 for sure.

Actually enjoyed this series. Just finished it. Bummer it isnt being renewed
