New Zealand television has a knack for doing more with less, and The New Legends of Monkey is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, and in the US on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The New Legends of Monkey follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Follow a teenage girl and a trio of fallen gods on a perilous journey as they attempt to bring an end to a demonic reign of chaos and restore balance to their world. Inspired by the 16th Century Chinese fable “Journey to the West.” Chai Hansen and Luciane Buchanan lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2018–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. The New Legends of Monkey respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
