O Ringue

Aaawww loved it! It was nice, his parents-OMG! What was that? This wasn't about the undadog at all. Like with a fatha, a motha, a best friend @ niko n' a coach who didn't want to coach him or believe in him. He just kept hearin the same thing ova and ova at how he wasn't good enough just constantly placin limitations upon his life and none of them thought highly of him. I was so happy he found happiness the day he did when he did. I was even happier it was SINCERE happiness. Taylor despite his odds had a pretty discent head on his shoulders. The things his mom said to him were just i don't even have words for. She had the nerve to even tell him how she was embrassed of him can you imagine? The mother was worser than the dad. It makes you wonder what makes a female be as that toward her own child when the fatha doesn't seem to have beat on her or even had abandoned her. She was just BEYOND one in a million. EVEN after got betrayed by her he still stood up in thought his dad his mom. He was sucha sweet person non deservin of motha as that. I really liked the how the the club had real team men ship. How the coach spoke of him to his parents. I even saw how boss was lookin at niko in a questionable way. He even warned taylor when he got big if niko didn't he'd see the change in their relationship. Boss/coached showed him that he did believed in him and alined him with the people that even in his absence helpled taylor get outta his rut. It was a clean show, not alot of violence, sex scene or bad words. Its a show you can watch with your kids.

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'm a big fan of MMA and enjoyed the cameo roles of some big names.

The fight scenes were realistic and the underlying storyline offered another perspective to the plot.

My only criticism being the impact of the fights from a makeup viewpoint...

Enjoyed it so much, I binged watched from start to finish.

I'm at the point that my review is too short, so I'll try to pad it out.

The underlying storyline, with no spoilers offers another perspective as to why folk take up MMA, boxing and other high intensity sports.

Sorry, I need another 80 characters to make the cut. I suppose it stops poor reviews.

" La Cage " it's like a new creed version but adapted on TV Show from France and it make weird to watch this type of content in other country than USA and it's pretty good cause it bring something else, very different but for me the TV show was too short and too unnatural a little bit !!!

For me it's too bad that the tv show during only 5 episodes I was the feeling that things happened too fast into the story, that's cool cause you don't feel boring or annoying at all and this is a very good point cause it's very the issue from screenwriters but there no matter with that but for 3 additional episodes will be great in order to know a bit more about the past of the main protagonist, explore more his family's trouble and some things else ... like this you feel more compassion for the character and the story and 8 or 9 episodes will be great to have a better story it's too bad !!!

But for me the script it's very good l, don't feel boring at all but if things could be happened more slowly it will be better unfortunately !!!!

The directing from Frank Gastambide was great like we used to see with his projects all credit on him never disappointed from him !!!

The acting was good but sometimes I felt some moment unnatural I don't know for why but that's I was feeling unfortunately!!!!

But the soundtrack, the shoots and twist was very great I think so that all MMA fan spent a good time cause it was very nice show even if for me, take more times about the story without go too fast will be great !!!

The quality of lights playing and CGI during fights was great too !!!

This is the type of show that will ruin Netflix. Its very foreseeable, very unrealistic and sometimes even very cringe worthy. I wouldnt recommend this show anyone except maybe MMA fans and French people (since it's a French production). The only positive thing are the MMA cameos. But other than that I hate the unrealistic storytelling, like it's the type of show where before every fight the main character suddenly gets confronted with some random problem and has to go somewhere before the fight which would never happen in real life. Or someone tells him something depressing right before the fight so the fight gets a little more interesting which it really needs because the fights are incredibly boring and unrealistic. Like, when the main character starts punching the opponent suddenly drops his defense for no reason at all. And this doesn't happen once but a lot of times, it really ruins the show for me. I can't really explain it, it's like watching a race with RC cars, a 3D Anime, a vegan burger, coffee with too much sugar, a controller with stick drift, you can watch it but you won't enjoy it, except if youre used to trash tv. 5/10 at most. Stop creating unrealistic, childish movies/tv shows you're ruining entertainment.
