The best Muay Thai story since A Prayer Before Dawn!

[Andrew426 · 8/10 · 10 June 2023]

Hurts like Hell is a real gem. The show is a miniseries about Muay Thai and gambling, and the seedy underbelly that corrupts the sport. Featuring real life interviews spliced in-between, HLH is almost as much of a documentary as it is a drama! Not since I watched 2018s A Prayer Before Dawn has there been a real Muay Thai itch to scratch on the small screen, and this show does just that! It's a slow start, but episode 3 is a straight masterpiece, and could have been a movie in and of itself.

I would say the only negative to this series would be the decent yet subdued fight choreography. Though still very well choreographed, unfortunately thats the problem - you can just tell. There is a lack of urgency in the fights, compared to APBDs brutal, barely scripted brawls, but they are still very good for what it is worth. Ironically the best fights are in ep3 with the child fights.

If your a fan of Muay Thai this is an absolute must watch, and the novelty about this show is that you can practically watch it in any episode order you want.

This Is A Super Good NETFLIX Original Series (Limited Series)

[seagamepum · 10/10 · 14 July 2022]

Original Thai series from Netflix that runs like a semi-series, semi-documentary. It fits the story and the characters are connected to the story and Jigsaw connects all 4 Episode to make them connect. The actors are really good at acting. It's raw, brutal, crazy, and extremely dramatic. It reveals the dark world of Thai boxing very well. Plus, it also gives us ideas, viewers, too.
