Black Knight

The acting is alright, not incredible, but better than most Netflix films these days. In the action scenes and emotional scenes they were quite bad. Though in some other scenes it was nice. I give the acting a solid 7.5/10.

The action and fighting scenes were really unrealistic and very bad, sure some of 'em were great, and Really drew me in, but others just made me roll my eyes and laugh. The stupidity of some of these characters and the unrealism was embarrassing to watch. The action: 6/10.

The cinematography and cgi is very well done, it makes it really feel like a dystopian show, (unlike others) with the amount of blood and dirt in some scenes really made it feel realistic. 9/10

Storyline; the storyline is nice. Not too basic but also quite basic. The main character being stronger than everyone for almost no reason, while also getting random people to line up to fight with him? It's been done too many times. But I'll take it with the ubiquity of the show and some (not many) of the characters. 7.5/10.

Even the battle of winterfell had better lighting than this show. And when it's not shot indoors in near total blackness, it's outside with that yellow 'Mexico' filter we've seen in Breaking Bad and Narcos.

I couldn't even go past the first episode as I was struggling to see what the hell was happening.

It feels like a low budget action flick that had great hopes and yet it was disappointing.

If you're planning on watching this, don't do it over daytime.

PS. Like some other user mentioned - the face masks are filer masks not oxygen masks so they don't work unless you suspend your disbelief.

This was not what I expected. First of all, the world building was weak and although I knew it was a dystopian setting, it felt like a combination of different things that just didn't work. The plot was barely there too and even then there were plot holes scattered around. The characters felt one dimensional as well and I feel so bad saying this because I really like Kim Woo Bin but this drama didn't do him much good in terms of showing off his acting skills. The fight scenes were pretty good though and the CGI wasn't bad but it wasn't the best of course. Overall, this is a drama that suffers from poor writing and it's unfortunate because it does have the potential to be a good and memorable show. Instead, it just falls flat.

The Korean sci-fi series set in a post-apocalyptic world falls short in many aspects. Every element in the series feels blatantly fake and the overall quality seems to be lacking, almost resembling a low-budget production. The storyline, derived from a shallow cartoon, lacks depth, and the dialogue feels unnatural. Additionally, it attempts to imitate Western series, lacking originality and proper execution. Moreover, the constant insertion of comedic elements contradicts the realistic tone of the post-apocalyptic world. The only positive aspect is the short length of the series, with only 6 episodes. For those who enjoy Korean dramas and are looking for something slightly different, it might be worth watching, but it's advisable not to expect too much.

I disagree with reviewers here that the series is average at best. There's a lot to like here given there are only 6 episodes. The biggest negative is the casting of a kid (5-7) where a more adult character would have been more believable. However, the main character of "5-8" is enjoyable to watch. Some excellent acting, and some average, but overall, I keep coming back. The villain could have been more fleshed out, but again, 6 episodes. The best part of this series is the lack of politically correct characters that we apparently MUST include in every American-made show. It's such a relief not to be dragged through the morass of every single demographic that exists. I also like the premise of the show. Graphics are actually pretty good and so I have been entertained. I'll be back for more Korean shows.
