The series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances, and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown’s most powerful tongs (Chinese organized crime family).

Has anyone been watching this? I had it set to record and watch 4 episodes this weekend, I’m fucking hooked! So far it’s pretty damn good with some brutal fight scenes and excellent titties. Do recommend, hopefully the rest of the season is as good.

 

[Mook]

Fuck! Totally forgot about this. Looks like I need to cancel HBO and add Cinemax back to the rotation.

 

[Mook]

Starting now.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

I look forward to your thoughts

First episode down...I wont be continuing tonight as I'm wiped out BUT I will be diving right back in tomorrow. My thoughts:

It feels like a mix of a few different genres...asian kung fu, western, mob, cheesy chinese action flicks, cheesy action flicks in general....but thats what has me hooked. Its all genres I enjoy.

The writing is all over the place in regards to the dialogue...it ranges from cheesy to serious to typical. The acting also feels all over the place but I think that is the same for all series premiers.

The action is top fucking notch tho and that has me very excited. I'm all in on this. Cant wait to dive deeper.

Also, I love the music choices....it doesnt match the genre or time period but feels right at home. The title sequence is especially great.

love me a brothel LOL. Show is good, not sure it has longevity, but so far Im a watcher. as said, fight scenes are great, and the 2 -3 fucks a show dont hurt either LOL

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

I agree with all of that. It’s definitely all over the place, but as long as they keep the action scenes as good as they have been with the music and somewhat of a story I’ll be hooked.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Caught back up with this. Man episodes 5 and on have been amazing. I’m fully into this show.

 

[Mook]

I really need to get back to this... I didn't get far.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

It’s worth it, the characters are developing nicely and although predictable it still keeps you engaged.

 

[Mook]

The dialog is so bad in this Especially for the Chinese.

 

[Mook]

I'm gonna give this one more episode before I throw in the towel...I'm pretty bored with it when it focuses on the awful story and boring characters...the fighting is the only thing that saves it. Hopefully my mind gets changed.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

That makes me sad, I really enjoyed it lol.

Season 2, nice!

 

[VenomousDSG]

Never seen this, but the actual movie Warrior is one of the best movies you will ever see. Highly recommend watching that if you never have.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

So just binged season 2, ep 1-7. Started off slow but fuck did it get good. Episode 7 has some excellent fighting on a massive scale. Finale is next Friday.

Watched the first 3 episodes. Im hooked so far. Main dude is basically Asian Keanu Reeves But much more charismatic. And he can whoop some ass too. Fight scenes have been freaking excellent so far. Its a period show, which Im an absolute sucker for, but it does take liberties. The dialog and the way they talk to each other is definitely not "of the time period", and the music is modernized, but it works. The set and wardrobe are on point tho. I also like how they handle the language differences, like some scenes starting out in chinese with subtitles and then transitioning to english, kinda like how Vikings did it. Gonna stick with this and see where it goes. For a series executive produced by Justin Lin and based on stories by Bruce Lee, I fail to see how it can go wrong so far.
