Warrior is a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a martial arts prodigy who emigrates 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). Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, this CINEMAX drama series is based on writings of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, and created and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper ("Banshee") Justin Lin.

Cinemax has done it again, they don't do it often, but the wait paid off! It's been a few years since Banshee and I really wanted a series in this spirit. The pilot treated me to perfect choreography of numerous fights (really like Bruce Lee), and I am thrilled that the creators managed to maintain the set pace, and in the following weeks, there was something to watch on HBO GO (thank you).. A must-watch for fans of semi-Asian production and old-school filmmaking... It is an incredible hidden gem from the station's own production Cinemax, which has already been canceled. I have to emphasize one thing. It's total carnage! I don't think I've seen anything like it in any show. A huge discovery of the second season for me is Celine Buckens, whose beauty amazed me in every episode, and I will be very happy to catch her in another series that I decide to watch. The finale, a very nice epilogue.. most likely of the whole series, fortunately I had the space to deal with this knowledge already from the first episode, but hope dies last... Update 2024: RIP Cinemax and I am glad that at least the third season was made, but something tells me that the creators should have more ideas for the fourth season. This time, I didn't devour Warrior like a raspberry, but it still has the most luxurious fights on VoD, and I only regret the absence of a few of my favorite characters. A great loss for the series and this original cable network. |S1: 5/5 | S2: 5/5 | S3: 4/5 |

Movies aren't doing so well this year, but 2019 definitely belongs to series! After Chernobyl and Deadly Class, this is another affair that will fulfill fans' wet dreams. Jonathan Tropper, responsible for Banshee, now brings us to the second half of the 19th century in San Francisco's Chinatown, where the wars of three Chinese Tong gangs are going on. Inspired by Bruce Lee, the main character comes to San Francisco from China to find his sister, but is forced to join a local gang in order to survive. Perfect in almost every way, the series is very much driven by great characters. Two well-known martial arts stars, Joe Taslim from The Raid and The Night Comes for Us, and Dustin Nguyen from the Vietnamese gem The Rebel appear in the rival gang. There's also a group of Irishmen, led by Irish mobster Dean S. Jagger. The corrupt police, politicians and brothel moms are also cool. Action-wise, the series is flawless. First of all, it is very brutal and blood is not spared and the fights have dynamic and effective choreography. Episode 5 is a nice Western detour with shootout in a saloon that would be the envy of many a Western. Great period atmosphere, great soundtrack, decent plot and twists, great characters that the viewer will like and plenty of action. 100% This like a series version of The Raid!
