As an Asian I was really excited to see this all Asian cast and really wanted to like this series. The pilot episode started out well building tension but then it just goes downhill from there. None of the characters have the motivation it should have, they're all over the place, the arcs feels disjointed, and I really wish they didn't make the protagonist Bruce so dumb because he ended up being really unlikeable.
This series had so much potential. Hong Kong and Taiwan have done similar series/movies so the blueprint is there so I don't understand how they mess up this bad.
Plots doesn't make sense too. Are we supposed to root for the DA and Charles getting together or are we supposed to root against them? Why does the mom hate the dad? Why did the dad not financially support his wife and son all these years in America but when he got hurt they were immediately on his mind and send his oldest son. He clearly cares about them, knows where they are so why the inconsistency?
And the reason they had to leave Taiwan, the whole rolodex plot is so absurd. If the wife is that ambitious she wouldn't raise such a useless son, she wouldn't be the one who cares enough to want to take him away. The triad leaders barely had any security, the house was unguarded, no security systems, nothing is making sense. It feels like I'm watching a series created by children.
I did enjoy the violence and the humor. Charles & his mom did most of the heavy lifting, the supporting cast really could improve. Off the top of my head I can think of 10 Asian actors who can more convincingly play the various triad bosses.
So much potential wasted.
