I was expecting a fun and cheesy show about martial arts, perhaps pandering to its target demographic. But nope. This has turned out to be technically superb, with solid performances all round, especially from the leads. The writing is also stellar. It deals with difficult subjects such as racism and politics without being sanctimonious and manages to humanize both the "good" and "bad" guys with a thin line between them. Despite an experimental setting rarely seen previously in the entertainment business, they are not afraid to experiment even further. The latest episode for instance was a bottle episode set entirely in a saloon in Nevada, with a group of strangers bonding together to face-off against cowboys and bandits, reminiscent of Tarantino or Sergio Leone. The combat choreography is stunning as expected. The music is memorable.
It is a unique, stylish and visceral depiction of the cultural melting pot that was late 19th century US. More than anything it is a charming love letter to martial arts based on Bruce Lee's own writings. It is one of the best new shows of 2019. Sadly it is flying under the radar. I pray we see it return for future seasons.
