Anyone watching Wu Assassins ?

Recommend me more films to watch (martial Arts/Sci Fi) ?

Altered Carbon is superb, watched through it twice.

thank you, added

Was just about to mention Altered Carbon, absolutely outstanding show imo.

The Umbrella Academy is worth a watch, it's based on a comic book but it's pretty quirky/different compared to the Marvel/DC stuff that's popular at the moment.

Into the Badlands was an outstanding martial arts show with sci-fi themes, three seasons before it (unfortunately) ended. (I think it's on Netflix)

I personally found Umbrella Academy to be really disappointing, I wanted to like it and stuck with it to the end of the first season but I doubt I'll bother with season 2, none of the characters were particularly likeable and the storyline took forever to get off the ground.

Travelers is a great Canadian-made sci-fi series, it ran for three seasons. Godless is good too if you like Western stuff. Mindhunter was great, season 2 came out a few weeks ago which I've still to catch up on. And Stranger Things, of course.

Amazon Prime for that one. Really enjoyed S1 but can't get past the first few episodes of S2

The first few episodes of Season 2 were a bit iffy to be honest, I found that the latter half and season 3 were much better.

I was genuinely gutted when it was finished, was hoping Netflix or Amazon would save it but I doubt that'll happen at this point.

I'll go back to it at some point then, i'd kind of written it off but will take your word on the improvement

I found that when Nick Frost's character became more fleshed out that I enjoyed things a lot more, honestly thought he was the best one in the show by the third season.

I think that's about where I quit, something with him and a car I recall?

Yeah, it becomes a bit convoluted for a time where everyone is going off in different directions. I think the show lost it's way for a bit unfortunately, which is possibly why it ended up being cancelled despite those issues ultimately being resolved and the show getting back to form in my opinion.

Nick Frost (Bajie) and The Widow were the best characters
