Lackluster, basic, and boring
Reading the other reviews, it seems to me that the show's main redeeming feature is the fact that it is based on a beloved old video game. The positive reviews seem more inspired by nostalgia than the actual show. Being unfamiliar with Tekken the video game myself, I can say that if you are not looking at the show through nostalgia colored glasses it is not worth your time.
It honestly seems like something a fan could have created in their spare time instead of being an actual Netflix production. The story feels rushed, superficial, and is not captivating at all. The voice acting is amateuristic, and again, very superficial, with many characters having an almost robotic, monotonous delivery. All the characters are also extremely two dimensional, I feel no attachment to any of them due to how little they were actually developed. Even the graphics, although not terrible, were just kind of weird with the triangle lighting effect used on the head of every character. The show also continuously uses flashbacks (despite the fact that there's only 6 episodes of ~20 minutes) that seem to serve no meaningful purpose for either the viewer or the story. It almost seems like they were included just to fill the episodes due to the fact that the show's writers are apparently incapable of storytelling.
In conclusion, if you're not a Tekken fan looking to enjoy some nostalgia, I don't recommend this show.
