I saw a some clip of this show on Netflix with Jon jones and decided to give it a watch I was intrigued by the cameos made in the show . However in the beginning the plot seem basic , and very predictable. Winning over the coach / boss trust of a local mma fighting gym to give him a shot a bigger fights against pros . Throughout the show there were some twist and turns that I appreciated to give it more spontaneity and unpredictability which I liked . The cinematography was amazing however the dialogue and overall acting form the characters felt bland and lack true emotion and depth . I wished they would've added more realism and depth to the characters like the protagonist mother the lives of side characters instead of just having the center focus of Taylor . Only 5 episodes was surprising I watched in one sitting expecting another episode as the last episode left a lot of unanswered questions and this show could've easily been 10 episodes . I wonder if there is going to be a second episode of this show or is this it because if it only has 5 episodes that would truly be underwhelming. Show could be better but I see the vision and understand the characters that were prorated . The fights looks realistic and especially the last fight felt like i was watching an actual main card fight from ufc ppv .

I saw the first episode of this with open mind . I knew who the penguin was but from playing earlier LEGO games when I was a child teen with my younger brothers . The iconic umbrella , purple suit , car and waddle is what immediately caught my eye in the first few scenes of the episode . It was amazingly written . The actor portraying penguin did a fantastic job with the Italian accent , the waddle , and was overall very convincing except for the face cosmetics and makeup that was noticeable to some viewers that could tell his face was enhanced to look like that for the role . Great performance.
