A quarter-life crisis causes a young Chinese-American woman, Nicky Chen, to drop out of college and go on a life-changing journey to an isolated monastery in China. But when she returns to find her hometown overrun with crime and corruption, Nicky uses her martial arts skills and Shaolin values to protect her community and bring criminals to justice -- all while searching for the assassin who killed her Shaolin mentor and is now targeting her.
Seems like all the shows are trying to be inclusive to the point that they don't tend to be realistic. I can get past the women beating men, they have been showing this in movies for years to a point. But Shaolin priest warriors are always male. The Shaolin allow women to study at their temples but women aren't allowed to be warriors. So if they wanted to show change that's one thing but to change the past to meet a narrative is just bad form. One woman studying in secret(as in Mulan) would be one thing but to just invent an entire monastery for women is over the top.
