Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Avatar: The Last Airbender, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: 5 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 11 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-Y7: scary moments. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Centuries ago, the beloved Chinese Monkey King used his magical staff to capture and trap the evil Demon Bull King deep inside a mountain. Flash-forward to modern-day China, when fate leads MK (aka Monkie Kid), a young noodle shop delivery boy, to find the long-lost staff. Soon, MK and his best friends find themselves entangled in adventures packed full of action, mystery, imagination and magic.
