Irmãos Sun

I started watching this mainly because Michelle Yeoh was in it. I've only watched 2 episodes so far and she's not been in it much however it has been a blast!

Great fighting sequences, good acting and surprisingly funny. The 2nd episode caught me off guard with it's funny and unique fighting sequences.

The chemistry between the 2 main actors is promising and hopefully gets to grow throughout the series.

The story is ok so far, a little hard to follow but I'm sure it will be explained better the more episodes I watch.

Will update my review once I've finished the series but from what I've seen so far, this is a surprise hit for me.

Update: this is a great series with great twists, action, acting and comedy throughout (all be it stereotypical, it works most of the time) Here's hoping for a season 2!

6.5 There's so many positives from this show. Michelle is class as always. Action scenes are dope, seen someone kicking off about them, they really missed out on some quality 80s movies.

Score is pretty slick too and there is some funny bits.

Now the really silly things are the brother Bruce, like for real NO ONE behaves that way.

Not sure if it was due to the strike why the story is so up and down. If Bruce didn't suck so much and some of the story being so predictable a much higher rating would be justified, I'd love to see more in the future but really dial back the lamé characters cause in this world they just ruin what could be epic.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into The Brothers Sun but it has everything you want in a good action comedy. Plenty of action, laughs, drama, etc. Outside of Michelle Yeoh, it's made up of a cast of mostly unknowns that are not familiar in America. That should change after this series. Most of them should move on to bigger things here after their job in this. This is just a beautifully acted and written show. I was hooked from the first episode to the last. I was so hooked that I ended up binging all eight episodes as fast as possible. This show knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn't stray and add needless filler just to get to 8 episodes. It's addicting from start to finish. I would not be surprised in the least if this show ends up winning some awards. It's that good.

After a series of mediocre shows, Netflix nailed it with this one. I was one of the few that enjoyed Cowboy Bebop and was disappointed that Netflix caved into fan boy pressure and dumped it. Cowboy Bebop was flawed but it was a high energy, fun sci-fi romp. I've only watched 2 episodes but I'm a big fan. Don't even get me started when they dumped Sense8. Michelle Yeoh elevates everything just by being in it and so far, so good. The supporting cast is solid, the fight scenes are fun and the goofiness factor is spot on. It's a great show to get lost in and not overthink. I hope they renew for a second season. If Netflix produces more original series like this, I'm in it for the long haul!

The Brothers Sun is a Netflix series created by Barron Wu and Brad Falchuk who also was the person behind Glee and American Horror Story. This is a Shakespearean.style show filled with action fighting sequences much like Jackie Chan along with John Wick killing spree throughout the show. The script follows Charles Sun, a Taipei.gangster's son, who must travel to Los Angeles to protect his brother and his mother after his father is ruthlessly shot and left in a coma. Loved the comedic style of writing and the culinary journey in the San Gabriel area. The wonderful cast is lead by Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chief, Sam Song Li, and Johnny Kou. Overall great first season, wonderful funny script and it was great to see my old school grounds of Woodbury University. Definitely add this to your list.
