This is literally the first post I have seen about this show.

I checked it out. It is kind of a cool concept but I just couldn't get into it.

Yeah I put this show is more of just having a VERY loud echo-chamber and well targeted "niche" group. The people who like this show heavily fall into they won't shut up about it but the reality is the show was really not all that much watched and from what I have seen had some fairly high immediate drop offs.

It is pretty much a show that corners of twitter and some forms will just be quite dedicated to and miss how truly small it is in the bigger picture.

looked it up and was disappointed it wasn't a Buddhist nun doing Kung Fu like you occasionally see in Shaolin movies

It starts off quite weak, honestly, but does get a lot better towards the end of season 1, and then really quite good for season 2. Buuuut yeah, I can see why people would just kinda go 'meh' and walk away after a few episodes, because it really doesn't start that strong.

Hmm, that is interesting to know, I will revisit it.

I quit on episode 4 or 5 the first time around, too.

Yeah agreed S1 was very meh to me, I stuck it out bc it was released during pandemic and I had nothing but time.

S2 got no promotion but I wanted to follow up, overall it got way better (minus the lack of continuity from finale for a hot minute.)

Better action sequences, pacing, storylines - very enjoyable (and binge-able) watch

I def think it deserves another season after S2.

Only in regards to the greater discussion of "Netflix doesn't cancel successful shows." Being part of the discussion isn't the same thing as being the discussion.
