Review
This show reminds me a little bit of Circle: Two Worlds Connected, however, Black Knight didn’t do so well.
The production quality and special effects were good, I cannot fault it at that. The actors did a good job too.
The show wasn’t written well though and it was tough going at first. I would say things started to come together after the 4th episode and the last episode was the best. I was expecting more, a little bit more context to the show. It felt as though they rushed to put it in a 6 episode format but left the action and the story out. It appears Netflix-created South Korean content is very much like this, I do better with non-Netlfix shows, maybe it’s just a coincidence.
It can be enjoyable if viewers lower their expectations and want entertainment where thinking is not required.
I give it a generous 2/5.
Where To Watch
As far as I’m aware this can only be watched on Netflix.
