After a Taiwanese gangster is shot, his assassin son (Justin Chien) travels to LA to protect his mother (Michell Yeoh) and brother (Sam Song Li). Thus begins the combo of martial arts action, family bonding and dark humor. The fight scenes are well staged, although they get repetitive. The family connection gives the series its dramatic depth. The humor (which diminishes in later eps) is primarily thanks to Yeoh’s character. Actually, it’s Yeoh’s tough slyness and vulnerability that makes this show worth watching. As with so many current series, this could have benefited from trimming to keep the pace up. Even so, there are enjoyable brawls and adequate character interaction to make it moderately entertaining.
