Michael Idato Sydney Morning Herald 08/23/2018
The series gently bends your expectations and plays with some modern (and seemingly outmoded) ideas of gender and power. Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen IndieWire 05/14/2018

Because The New Legends of Monkey looks slick and is fun, it should be a draw for families who want an entertaining co-viewing experience. Go to Full Review David Sexton London Evening Standard 05/10/2018
This remake loses some of that show's ludicrous appeal but should please children of all ages seeking a fix of the Far East. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 08/23/2018
Watching the series felt like watching a live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but one that was actually watchable. Go to Full Review Craig Lines Den of Geek 05/03/2018
It's neither as psychotronic nor as deep as the original but it is flat-out great entertainment with its heart in the right place, an eccentric streak of humor and some cracking action. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 05/02/2018

Calvin O @Caltus 11/24/2024 To be honest this was fun watching, especially season 2 , but when will season 3 be launched, coz it seems there is season 3 to come. WAITING!!!. See more Stephan Oberauner W @Steve0900 04/25/2023 Die Serie animiert einen nach 3 Episoden schon wieder zum Ausschalten. Das CGI ist anscheinend aus den 70iger Jahren die Schauspieler sind grottenschlecht die Kämpfe sind billigst und schlecht dargestellt. Man versucht hier sogar mit Dragonball Wipes Zuseher zu gewinnen, die Kostüme sind einfach nur billig genau wie die ganze Serie. Wer eine Geschichte des Affenkönigs ansehen will, dem empfehle Ich „The Forbidden Kingdom" Das dürfte eure Entäuschung ein wenig lindern. Lg See more 02/15/2022 Give Asian actors a chance. You don't need all whites for a remake of a Chinese flix. See more 12/02/2021 Xena Warrior princess and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had a had a stillborn baby, smashed its face with a tire iron, and sent it to acting summer camp on the lake. This horrible show is the play parents are forced to pretend to enjoy on the last day of camp. Truly garbage. See more s m 10/17/2021 100% Critic Score haha ... this show is ridiculous, coming from a woke Netflix, it's odd how they have chosen to effectively cut the Chinese source from the reboot, and in so doing turn an original all Asian cast into and almost all white cast, including an unusual amount of Northern Yorkshire Brits lol. Roll in the normal gender swap, (Sandy, not the Boy priest that was actually played by female actresses in the original as well) over the top forced humour...which the original got much better.. and just awful, wooden acting ...how this show has been nominated for awards is truly beyond me See more 09/25/2021 Not a single Asian let alone Chinese in an adaptation. Whitewashing is real. See more Read all reviews
