Jumped the Shark with Bogus Politics

Absolutely nothing relating to Kung Fu happens in this episode. It is all about the BLM riots, looters, and victims of police.

As somebody pointed out Chemical Engineering is not an Associates Degree (two years) that is taught in community colleges. I was surprised that they did not say that the skate-boarding victim was a neuro-surgeon from the Dougie Houser Medical School. The need to make the story even more ridiculous than it was is normal for the CW network.

Kung Fu girl's parents get their Harmony Dumplings restaurant vandalized, and the response is to go outside and hand out water bottles. It would have been a better story if her parents got robbed by the rioters. After the parents claim the community is shutting down all the stores, Kung Fu girl's Dad sends her over to buy more water bottles at the Chinatown market. A little consistency would be nice.

Finally, when the police come into the Harmony Dumplings restaurant, which is now harboring rioters and a fugitive, Kung Fu girl shames the police into leaving. Really classy way to support her community, and also totally unrealistic.

I tried to give this garbage a chance, but it jumped the shark with this political activism episode. Not even one minute was spent on the Kung Fu storyline regarding the mythical weapons, or anything related to Kung Fu.
