      Audience Reviews for Wu Assassins: Season 1

      • Jun 22, 2023
        Iko Uwais was remarkable as always, I wish more effort was put into making sure blood was in the right places during fight scenes or that the transitions were not too awkward. The storyline was a hit or miss, but my dad enjoyed the show and I wanted to know what's going to happen next (plus the martial arts part was pretty good) so I guess it was pretty ok.
      • May 09, 2023
        The main character had zero persona, the camera shook around so much during action scenes that it can make you feel dizzy, and it had an ending that made no sense whatsoever. Then, the last few seconds feels like a Hail Mary pass in hopes of being picked up for a second season. It was entertaining but there's no way I would sit through another season. Well, maybe but only because of Katheryn Winnick.
      • Apr 29, 2023
        So many plot holes, like what on earth happened with 97% of the sub plots, how did Kai get out of the forest and back to the real world probably being one of the biggest ones.
      • Oct 03, 2022
        The writing is a bit stiff, but the scenes are well staged, the action fantastic and the cinematography well shot. A lot of fun!
      • Sep 04, 2022
        Really enjoyed this series. Despite the actors being somewhat inexperienced, the story, writing, and effects were great, and the cast grew into their roles very well. Nearly on a par with Shang-Chi
      • Jul 23, 2022
        Some cool moves but characters were thin and narrative shifts were jarring at times. The final episode in particular lacked sense or heft. One to watch if you're struggling for anything better or love smart martial arts more than a smart plot.
      • Apr 20, 2022
        I'm surprised by the reviews: with plot holes, clichés characters with very little development, a non sense ending and a lead who has one expression on his face the whole serie, the serie is barely entertaining...
      • Mar 08, 2022
        Stunning soundtrack. Good choreography throughout, perhaps too choreographed. You can almost imagine seeing some of the fights as dance routines at a Backstreet Boys concert. Uneven acting. Lawrence Kao is a scene stealer, though. Overall a fun show.
      • Feb 24, 2022
        It kind of a hidden gem. Not a bad movie just wish I would know about it back when first came out. I am glad there not lip service, they are actually speaking. The action was great. The acting not bad better then I could ever do lol. But over all Good movie. I say check it out. Worth the time. It's better then lot other Netflix shows. Where the dub in English speaking actors and never lines up with what there saying.
      • Oct 24, 2021
        I find martial arts stuff and Chinese fantasy/legend interesting enough, but it's not a philia for me. I do like Kathryn Winnick (from Vikings), so that keeps me interested. It's okay. I'll likely watch the next installment of the series.
