Something to binge over Christmas?

The Three Heroes and Five Gallants (42 episodes, complete) 
五鼠闹东京

Lots of kungfu and banter, and Kevin Yan is good as the Imperial Cat. Based on an oral story later written down during the Qing dynasty.  I'm partial to it because I worked in the team, it was fun.
For some reason, Chinese subs can be seen in the background - great! 

 

Secret of the Three Kingdoms (54 episodes, complete)
三国机密之潜龙在渊

The Deer and the Cauldron  (50 episodes, complete)

The one I'll be watching because I just bought David Hawkes and John Mintford 4  3-volumes translation

 

Ever Night (60 episodes, in progress)
将夜
https://www.viki.com/tv/36178c-ever-night?q=eternal
This is one I'm working on, not quite sure what it is about because I came to the team late, but it has a cast of thousands, lots of adventures and lots of kungfu. Had good reviews.
