The Warrior fandom on here is small, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to post this here and hopefully, it’ll catch someone else's attention and get them to watch the show too. We really need another season 🥺

Warrior (2019)

Thrilled to hear that Warrior, one of my favorite shows in recent years, has been picked up by Netflix after having been cancelled by Max in December.

Based on Bruce Lee’s original treatment for a TV show that may or may not have eventually become Kung Fu (depends on who you ask), Warrior is set in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the violent Tong Wars and the Anti-Asian movement of the late 1870s. Following newly arrived immigrant Ah Sahm (played by the excellent Andrew Koji), searching for his lost older sister, Warrior quickly becomes entrenched in the gang warfare, political machinations, ethnic violence, and bigotry of 19th century San Francisco.

With a fantastic supporting cast—notably Olivia Cheng as brothel madam Ah Toy; Jason Tobin as Young Jun, son of the Hop Wei Tong leader; Dianne Doan as the Lady Macbeth-ian Mai Ling; and Hoon Lee as conflicted black market trader Wang Chao—Warrior really should be talked about by more people.

For example, while the show is mostly performed in English, the show’s creators have opted to have the actors shift their accents to denote what language they’re speaking. It’s an ingenious solution to the to-subtitle-or-not-to-subtitle problem and shows the care and subtlety with which they are presenting the story while also leaning into and showcasing the actors’ skill.

With three seasons moving to Netflix beginning in February, with a possibility of more if it performs well, I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Though incredibly violent, with its thrilling martial arts sequences, complex characters and settings—some loosely based on actual people and historical events—and presenting a little explored era and culture, Warrior is truly worthy of another shot.

And not for nothing, but it also has a pretty kick ass theme song.
