Kate Beckinsale, having shed the vampire fangs, now, proving once again that she really is a multi-faceted daywalker to be reckoned with, leads an all-star cast, including the 11th Doctors wife, (before he simultaneously re- generated and transitioned), and his badness, Sardo Numpsa himself, apparently having never obtained the knife, but very possibly the fountain of youth, as well as a multi- cultural cast of redshirts and assorted ne'er-do-wells, while this time rescuing slightly darker Golden Child who is a she playing a she, rather than a she playing a he....... but I'm just being silly...

Actually this was REALLY good, in spite of suffering from a touch of savior complex as the morally upright anglos swoop in to save the natives from the morally bankrupt anglos, who are pillaging the country with the help of some other morally ambiguous natives, and expatriates who, at one time may have been righteous, but were corrupted by their greed and lack of vision. That's the ONLY reason it wasn't "Totally Ninja"

It is told in a present / flash back / flash forward style that can be a bit disconcerting, but actually is used to set up the plot twists, after you've already seen the plot twists, which then explains the consequences of the plot twists, and then there are the force ghosts, or, perhaps rather, "conscience" ghosts, which, you wont realize at times ARE ghosts, until after the fact.

The tension and drama while smoldering and building, is still palpable at times, and, did I mention the WTF plot twists????

Room is left at the conclusion, which while it tied up many of the loose ends, still left a smidgen of room for a Season 2, which I would love to see a continuation of the main characters stories ad well as some back fill to round things out. Worth a binge watch if you get the chance. Jeff Bezos doing big things with this billions once again.
