I liked the first episode, if they develop the characters a bit it could be something to look forward to.. But as with most martial art movies they miss the point somewhat. The style they use in this show is baqua, an internal martial art form(like taiji, ching-y, aikido). But accept for some nice moves by the main actor most choreography is really clumsy, let alone internal... A lot of talk about the theory but it doesn't show.. (the straight line - clash thing was nice, since baqua is about going around in circles, and changing them all the time) If somebody ever wants to make a good television show or movie about internal martial arts, please cast actors who know how to do it. And that is not easy, even most of the Hongkong actors don't know how to do the real stuff. Even the suppose to be master in the show shows really awful flabby taiji. But whatever, it's nice entertainment..
