Very well done series without a character I did not like! All extremely well acted with an excellent script. Remaining hopeful for a season 2 !

It starts with a good story especially after watching caliber actors Daniel Wu and Michelle Yeoh in it then as it progresses, the story starts to swing into chaos where puberty bad actors, overblown martial art SFX and absurd legendary fantasy storytelling were all jumbled together into this mixed cheesy and ugly bad taste movie. I moved away after eps. 2 to watching a better martial art movie-the Warrior on Max.

Its a shame there will be not be a season 2 because the show left on a cliff hanger. I did enjoy the freshness of the Chinese Gods in California and the show had a good central character who is likeable and also very realistic teenager with a realistic family. Worth a watch.
