Here is a first Trailer... But this says nothing about being a series? Are we sure this isn't a feature?

Did some digging. Yes this is a series. "Ten 45-minute episodes will be available on Netflix starting August 8th"

Its just funny, normally for Netflix trailers it says something like "All Episodes yada yada" which is why I was confused.

@tridon @bloodsnake007 You guys check this out yet!?

Netflix really haven't marketed this series very well. If I didn't follow Iko on Instagram I probably wouldn't know it existed.

Netflix is really bad at that sometimes. If it isn't one of their BIG shows like Stranger Things, you never see marketing for it.
I just hope that when it comes around release time they have this as the featured show when you first log in.

trailer is really good. will watch this show.

Has anyone else watched this? As much as I love Iko, I got 2 episodes in and had to stop watching. One of the most disappointing series I've watched this year, also the CGI is some of the worst I've seen a long time.

 

[tha_lunatic]

well, I enjoyed this show. sure, the CGI was bad in most scenes but the fight scenes were good.
another weak point is that they didnt use the full story potential ...they could do so much more stuff here.

Seen this, it's was so/so, fight scenes pretty nicely choreographed and the story was ok but some of the acting in certain scenes fell short but overall pretty good. I liked it and a second season deserves my attention once released.
