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.

I loved the original Japanese series and so was really looking forward to this, it doesn't disappoint! It is full of the humour of the original brought up to date. I suspect that the bad reviews come from people who are expecting yet another Marvel/DC style action show. Think Pirates of the Caribbean, and you're closer to the mark.

The series is great and can be watched with your family for fun and action!! Those who rated this low need to realize people enjoy a funny action series which are no longer produced on mainstream tv, instead we are bombarded by gory cop shows or hospital shows or "reality tv series". Those who complain about this series would have complained about Gilligans Island, the Brady Bunch, Get Smart, Brisco County Jr and other fun action series. Netflix lets have a season 2!!!!

Right off the bat, this show reminded me in a lot of ways of Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules. Kind of the same type of vibe and tone, that's not a bad thing, but it makes the episodes kind of blend together. You can almost watch it in the background and not pay full attention to what is going on and still follow what's happening. Overall I enjoyed it. It's very easy viewing. The episodes are very short and it's entertaining. Truthfully, this is just the kind of show I've been searching for. Something I can throw on to kill 25min, that isn't too heavy on drama or seriousness. If you're a fan of either of those shows, this might just scratch that itch. I can't wait for Season 2.
