kimik Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 What a fantastic ending episode for Season 3. You could see most of it coming, but it was still gratifying to watch how they tied up the plot lines and laid new ones for Season 4. This is one of my favourite shows from a pure mindless entertainment perspective. You just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. ganni and Bosco685 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was nicely executed, and pulled together a solid cast to an intense story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm about 9 episodes in to season 1 and finding the need to have a battle to the death in every episode a little tiresome. Does the series pick up? Worth continuing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) The series picks up. They still have fights, but the character and plot development grows nicely over time. Is it Emmy/Oscar worthy? Definitely not. It is a fun take on a martial arts show that is set in an interesting time period in San Fran. The "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" episodes are fun.

Bosco685 Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Now moving to Netflix because HBO Max cancelled it Warrior Cancelled by Max, Will Stream on Netflix in 2024 Quote Max will not pick up Warrior for a fourth season, according to reports. Netflix, however, has picked up non-exclusive streaming rights to the series, and depending on performance, could plausibly save the show. In any case, it will bring a whole new audience to the three existing seasons of the show, which is based on a concept and treatment by Hollywood and martial arts legend Bruce Lee. It's hard to know what the odds of a pickup are -- and obviously "make Netflix save it!" has been the rallying cry for fandoms for about 15 years -- but it's possible. Still, the task might be daunting, because the cast have been released from their existing contracts. This isn't the first cancellation for Warrior; it started in 2019, and ran for two seasons at Cinemax before that network backed out of the original programming market altogether, as noted by Deadline. Max picked up the show for a third season in 2021, and it finally aired this summer, with the final episode dropping in mid-August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Quote With its jaw-dropping action sequences and shocking twists and turns, it’s not surprising that Warrior has captured viewers’ attention since its arrival on Netflix last month. In the weeks since, the drama shot onto the Top 10 lists in as many as 38 countries, including the US. The series, which is based on the writings of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee, begins with a Chinese immigrant’s arrival in 19th-century San Francisco, where he becomes an enforcer for a powerful local crime organization and gets entrenched in the rivalries among competing Chinatown gangs. But as Warrior widens its scope, it introduces audiences to a complicated array of characters from many parts of the bustling city — people from all kinds of backgrounds and with diverse beliefs and motives. The ever-shifting alliances and relationships in San Francisco and beyond keep everyone on their toes — including viewers. It really is a saga with something for almost everyone. Whether you’re giving the series a rewatch or starting fresh, there’s much to enjoy over the course of its three vivid seasons. Keep reading for more details on all things Warrior, including intel from the cast and creative team. When the show’s creative team first pitched the drama around Hollywood, creator Jonathan Tropper compared Warrior, which chronicles political machinations, star-crossed romances, and gang battles, to Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York. Though Tropper researched the combustible history of America in the 1870s and 1880s while formulating the show’s first season, he tells Tudum that it also resembles Game of Thrones. “Obviously, that’s done on a much larger scale, but Warrior is still about political jockeying, warring families, and a large cast of characters inhabiting different worlds, all fighting for their piece of the pie,” he says. Inventive, world-class action has always been part of the appeal of the show, which counts Fast & Furious saga director Justin Lin as one of its executive producers. Cast member Kieran Bew recalls a Season 2 sequence in which cops raid the headquarters of one of the Chinatown gangs, or tongs: The scene required more than 100 stunt performers, actors, and crew members to hit a complicated series of synchronized marks. Director Loni Peristere and the ensemble cast attempted the intricate sequence more than a dozen times — including “one perfect take,” Bew says. “Everyone works incredibly hard.” That includes Andrew Koji, who plays Chinese immigrant Ah Sahm. Warrior begins by depicting his eventful arrival in San Francisco, but the show quickly broadens out to include a range of characters who want help from the formidable fighter — or who want to eliminate him from the game board. But Ah Sahm has his own agenda, one that frequently lands him in hot water with various power players. And as Koji notes, “He’s always confronted by this tension between his morality and his career as a gangster.” Though executive producer Shannon Lee is proud of the cast and crew’s efforts to make Warrior propulsive and (literally) hard-hitting, she emphasizes that the martial arts showcases are just one of the show’s attractions. Lee, whose father is Bruce Lee, points out parallels to Peaky Blinders, another stylish urban tale of resourceful strivers clashing generations ago. But depending on who she’s talking to, she’ll also call out that Warrior has plenty of love stories, epic adventures, and Wild West brawls. And it’s not a comedy per se, but its characters do make their share of wry observations. “Quippy lines of dialogue” are scattered through most episodes, Lee says. “It’s funny!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Yeah. It is a shame. This was one of my favorite streaming shows. Hopefully there is enough demand that Netflix decides to start it up again, but I would also expect that the actors/actresses have all moved on to other projects by now.

While I was searching for information on a new season, one of the articles talked about this.......that even if it did get the green light, a new season would take a while because they would have to wait for everyone to fullfill their current obligations first. As good as that show was, I'm surprised it didn't get renewed for another season. And, poor Chao....they've turned him into the Schrodinger's cat of the series.
