I don't understand why people have such bad reviews of such an awesome show.
After so long I have seen a show that has literally made me laugh.
Truly deserves much better ratings. People shouldn't compare it to the movies as the show is good enough to stand up for itself.
Justin Hires character was really funny, goofy and enjoyable to watch. Reminding me of the good old days of comedy.
Jon Foo also played a good role making him fit in as quite the best cop duo in a TV show. BTW his action scenes are AWESOME!!
Definitely going to watch more!
DO NOT LET THE REVIEWS STOP YOU.
BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.

Jonathan Lee (Jon Foo) is a no-nonsense kung fu fighting cop from Hong Kong. His sister Kim is eager to prove herself to him. She gets an assignment and assumed killed by a Chinese gang while guarding a transport to LA. Jonathan is partnered with fast-talking irreverent LAPD detective James Carter (Justin Hires) on the case. Kim reveals that she was actually part of the gang. Jonathan and James continue the team. Didi Diaz (Aimee Garcia) is a fellow detective. Gerald Page (Page Kennedy) is James' low-life criminal informant and cousin. Their boss Captain Lindsay Cole (Wendie Malick) discovers that Kim is actually working undercover to bring down the gang.
This show has 13 episodes and canceled after 7 although the writing was on the wall before the pilot aired. Copying from a movie has not been a terribly successful strategy. Justin Hires is a functional fast-talking black guy. He's essentially a lesser but workable copy. Jon Foo is a few step down. He is stiff and Jackie Chan is not stiff. That keeps the chemistry lackluster. Over time, they are able to build up to a functional TV police procedural with some minor chemistry. However, it runs out of time before it could find its feet.

It's not on par with it's Movie predecessors, but for a TV show, it was not that bad. It's very surprising that the show is now Canceled while shows with much less attraction are still going on. The dynamic between the two lead actors were good, jokes sometimes missed to hit but when it hit, it was hilarious. I've watched all the episodes, and I'm glad that I did. They should come back with better writing and humor and less cliché. Sometimes the outcome got too predictable and the comedy was dry. But overall it was pretty enjoyable for my taste. No one can replace Jackie Chan but I didn't think Jon Foo was doing a bad job. The action was good for a TV budget. Justin Hires was doing good too. Felt refreshing compared to Chris Tucker's high pitch voice, still, irreplaceable. I really hope they come back better, stronger and funnier.
They say that right now we are living in a golden age of television, with high quality shows like "Game of Thrones" freely available. However, you wouldn't know that just from THIS particular television series. Now, I was never a big fan of the three "Rush Hour" movies despite them having Jackie Chan as one of the stars. But any of them is much better than this show. From what I saw of the show, it has a weird 1980s-1990s vibe, from the production values to the simple- minded writing. And while I normally applaud when an American TV show casts an Asian in a prominent role (which doesn't happen very often), actor Jon Foo has none of the charisma Jackie Chan had. Also, his martial arts scenes are TERRIBLY choreographed, edited, and directed, which make me suspect Foo does not know martial arts at all. As for his co-star, I will admit that Justin Hires is not as annoying as Chris Tucker... but he is annoying all the same, and comes across more often as not as a stereotype. (As a matter of fact, Foo's humorless acting does the same for him as well.) I find it really hard to believe a show with such poor quality in its pilot alone got picked up by a network... though I won't be all that surprised if I soon hear that the show got cancelled.
The first episode wasn't the best start to this show. I gave it a second chance.
Been looking for a good buddy cop TV series. ... so I am grasping at anything.
It has become a procedural show after the first episode.
Acting isn't the best of things ... script is average. Comedy aspect is typical... Hope it gets better, the more I watch the more it grows on me.
Hope the actors come into their own instead of trying to become the next Chris Tucker / Jackie Chan.
I shall keep watching it.
