Reviews

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
nthomas16 It's fun, and entertaining. Monkey is lovable, funny, and a powerful warrior. I enjoy the interactions with the gods and the monk with Monkey. Three powerful gods and a monk out to save the world from demons. I have watched the show six times. I truly, hope Netflix renews for Season 2.
baseballmomofboys Does anyone know when new season will be out? But do love the show.
allapolonais Fairy tale with very much alive personages. Actors are gorgeous in every sense. That first demon somehow made me remember "vampires" from late SG-1. Stylish!) Whole situation with gods and demons living among mortals is really intriguing, concerning not just this legend. As we all know, foreigners in every part of the world at one epoch or another were deemed as demons or witches, etc, especially when they behaved in unusual way. So it was pretty much expected to see whites in roles of demons. Btw Sandy, Master and bunch of other gods are played by white actors. So, just let it go. About accents and nationalities. Yeaah, why not, lets put only englishmen into Shakespearean plays, only spanish actors into Lorka's staff. It's gonna be bit tricky with vulcans, but no problem with cast for "Bamby", isn't it? Anyway, watched all 10 episodes at once (oh, should've done it 1 per day at least) and strongly hope for 6 more seasons by the number of left scrolls.
roseconsumption At first I was like -_- Then I was like XD Finally, when the first season ended, I was like ;_;Basically, it starts really stupid and you wonder if this is what you signed up for. But then, as the story and characters unfold, and you get in tune with this show's camp tone, it becomes entirely charming. I don't have the original to compare it to, so that may help my enjoyment. Sounds like they changed a lot from the "old" legends, so I suggest going into this series as if it were a totally different franchise. If you don't take it seriously, you can instead enjoy the silly characters, great set design, awesome costumes, and the marvelously multi-racial cast. This show includes actors of all colors and nationalities without it feeling weird, forced, or pandering, which is an incredible achievement. Can't wait for the new season.
