Los hermanos Sun

This show borrows from the themes any fan of 90s Jackie Chan movies or even Chinese movies from Hong Kong- a little funny, tongue in cheek, violent emotional romance. Well written and choreographed, I enjoyed all the references and carefully signposted references to living life- Asian. From demanding parents, to cut throat women who use both brain and brawn to get what they want, to sons trying to find their way through societal expectations and stereotypes... All delivered in humourous witty dialogues. Very entertaining and ofcourse it requires some suspension of belief in it's story line and thank God that's the case. Who needs reality in a world such as ours!

The Brothers Sun was better than I thought it would be. The story is about an eldest son of a Taiwanese triad who returns home to Los Angeles after his father is shot. He returns to protect his mother and brother, who has no idea that the family is in the gangster business. It really is a fun watch with a talented cast who all do a great job pulling you into their world. It seems that Michelle Yeoh can do absolutely no wrong. Everything she's in these days is pure gold. This is her first role since winning an Oscar for best actress in Everything Everywhere All at Once and I think she's even better in this. I would like to see another season of this.

I started watching this mainly because Michelle Yeoh was in it. I've only watched 2 episodes so far and she's not been in it much however it has been a blast!

Great fighting sequences, good acting and surprisingly funny. The 2nd episode caught me off guard with it's funny and unique fighting sequences.

The chemistry between the 2 main actors is promising and hopefully gets to grow throughout the series.

The story is ok so far, a little hard to follow but I'm sure it will be explained better the more episodes I watch.

Will update my review once I've finished the series but from what I've seen so far, this is a surprise hit for me.

Update: this is a great series with great twists, action, acting and comedy throughout (all be it stereotypical, it works most of the time) Here's hoping for a season 2!

I hate when they mix comedy with action. It is very rarely done great. But this is actually not that bad on occasion, when it's not done by the comedy-plants. Like when the action guy cleans up the action woman's appartment, or when Michelle Yeoh does a "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" scene.

I found it brave of Netflix in this age of diversity to only have Asian actors. I would have thought Hollywood would insist on a diverse cast.

The story is pleasantly simple. When I watch a streaming show, I want to be entertained. When I want to use my brain, I read a book.

Easy to understand story, great action and fight choreography. Occasionally great humor - better than most comedy shows these days anyway.

What's not to like. This is, for now, the best show on Netflix this year.

6.5 There's so many positives from this show. Michelle is class as always. Action scenes are dope, seen someone kicking off about them, they really missed out on some quality 80s movies.

Score is pretty slick too and there is some funny bits.

Now the really silly things are the brother Bruce, like for real NO ONE behaves that way.

Not sure if it was due to the strike why the story is so up and down. If Bruce didn't suck so much and some of the story being so predictable a much higher rating would be justified, I'd love to see more in the future but really dial back the lamé characters cause in this world they just ruin what could be epic.
