Black Sash

I saw the pilot episode by chance and i thought it was pretty good, the plot is decent and i would definately recommend it because in my opinion there are not that many good shows to watch on sunday nights ne ways. So check it out if not for the plot at least the actors are all really good looking.

Black Sash is a decent martial arts show with Romeo Must Die's Russel Wong. The series is like The Karate Kid with more kids thrown in. None of the kids really seem be skilled in martial arts but they all act decently. Ray J even does a good job as one of Wong's most skilled students. Extra cool points go to Missy Peregrym and Sarah Carter for being hotties on the show.

This is actually one of the better shows I have found lately. Russell Wong <Romeo must Die, Vanishing Son I-IV> is the lead in this series. Playing Tom Chang, Wong is a former police detective who is framed and arrested for drug trafficking. Serving his sentence, he leaves the police department and ends up teaching martial arts to students. The shows martial art scenes are great. Especially good, is that the show is primarily shot in Vancouver, Canada. Mako <An Eye for an Eye, Bulletproof Monk> is Master Li, the owner of the martial arts dojo where Wong's character teaches his martial arts. The show is great, but unfortunately, it has been cancelled.

Really, i read many ppl say the show sucked, but i'm in a different opinion. I think the show had a good background history, and i was really wanting to see more after the 6th episode. I really liked that the characters were shown as human beings. And not supernatural power ppl. The teens could defend themself, but also to a limit. I've seen a bit over 5 seasons og Charmed, 5 of Angel, 2 of alias. I got really bored of Alias. People say that Alias was a better show, but i really can't get that. I read about the guy saying Black Sash was only a bunch of pritty ppl. So what about Alias? The only reason i saw that was because Jennifer Garner is hot. Then also i found the history a bit fun in the beginning. Then i got tired of seeing Jennifers face, so then i don't see alias no more. I say that black sash is a good show, and i didn't get tired of it. (even though it was only 6 eps. I got tired of alias after 4 eps, but kept watching, may be it would get better, but it never did). Black sash is a sure 10 from me, alias get 6. Only because Jennifer Garner is easy on the eyes...

Sunday nights I sat and watched Angel, and noticed a new show coming on afterwards at 9. Without anything else better to do, and absolutely no expectations, I watched the entire pilot of Black Sash. Each character was represented completely, but you could tell they were rushing to detail each character in the 45-minute segment. Other than that, I was hooked. Each character has some sort of physical/emotional struggle, and their martial arts training ties in with each episode, it's uniquely blended to put on a great episode. The actors do a great job, Russell Wong is great as the mentor, and his grandfather also hands him advice. Good show, sad it got cancelled. Watch for re-runs. Oh, and yes, the actors are all good-looking. That helps.
