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!

I wasn't sure what to expect going into The Brothers Sun but it has everything you want in a good action comedy. Plenty of action, laughs, drama, etc. Outside of Michelle Yeoh, it's made up of a cast of mostly unknowns that are not familiar in America. That should change after this series. Most of them should move on to bigger things here after their job in this. This is just a beautifully acted and written show. I was hooked from the first episode to the last. I was so hooked that I ended up binging all eight episodes as fast as possible. This show knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn't stray and add needless filler just to get to 8 episodes. It's addicting from start to finish. I would not be surprised in the least if this show ends up winning some awards. It's that good.

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.

After a series of mediocre shows, Netflix nailed it with this one. I was one of the few that enjoyed Cowboy Bebop and was disappointed that Netflix caved into fan boy pressure and dumped it. Cowboy Bebop was flawed but it was a high energy, fun sci-fi romp. I've only watched 2 episodes but I'm a big fan. Don't even get me started when they dumped Sense8. Michelle Yeoh elevates everything just by being in it and so far, so good. The supporting cast is solid, the fight scenes are fun and the goofiness factor is spot on. It's a great show to get lost in and not overthink. I hope they renew for a second season. If Netflix produces more original series like this, I'm in it for the long haul!

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.
