Season 3 Review: “Warrior” is many wonderful things, including a showcase of Asian-American talent on both sides of the camera and a history lesson about institutionalized hate crimes in America. But what makes the entire package work is its emphasis on pulp. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Even with a few too many subplots, a dynamite ending strips all this away to make the journey a striking one. At the same time as Warrior Season 3 keeps you entertained, there are plenty of moments where it takes a pause to reflect on all the tumult and the toll it has taken on the characters.

Season 1 Review: This is the right time and place for Lee’s vision to come to thrilling life, even if he’s not around to star in it. Warrior is a blast. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Topmost, Warrior is a good time, satisfying anyone who appreciates intricate fight choreography that emphasizes the physicality of its actors. ... At the same time, the show grants the same level of agency and ferocious, dangerous nature to its women as it does the men. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Warrior has its charms and much like a Chinese “Peaky Blinders” or “Gangs of New York,” it’s best when it leans into mankind’s reaction to corruption and injustice. Read full review

Excellent show by the director from Banshee. Non-stop action, bold storytelling, fabulous actors and really stylish. You won't go wrong with this one!

I am so glad I took a chance on watching this show. I love everything about it. The action sequences are visceral and raw. The intertwining story plots randomly all mesh together throughout a few instances of a season, and it is beyond rewarding. I pray that we get a season 3 at some point.I am so glad I took a chance on watching this show. I love everything about it. The action sequences are visceral and raw.

Besides being incredibly well written, acted and directed, it touches on the current affairs of immigration, xenophobia and prejudice in a story told more than a century ago. Andrew koji is that perfect blend of tough and kind, the kind of protagonist we forgot ever existed, but to see him act and fight is ass off in this joyride through the San Francisco Chinese exodus show us that great TV can be created without fanfare or pageantry. Based loosely on Bruce Lee's stories, Andrew Koji is just the tip of a cast of excellent, intense, riveting performers who bring this fantastic show to life. Bravo to Andrew Tropper and a stellar group of Stunt artists trained by the equally incredible Brett Chan. Not to be missed and a series that every creator should watch to learn just how great drama is created.… Expand

It revolves around a Chinese martial arts prodigy (Andew Koji) who immigrates to San Francisco during the Tong Wars of the late 1800s. In addition to his fierce encounters with the warring factions, there are stories involving other members of the Chinese community, the white ruling class and the Irish immigrants who are angered by the loss of jobs to the cheaper-paid immigrants. On top of this are some of the best martial arts fights ever on screen. They're not especially clean or pretty, but scrappy and rough. This series was created by Jonathan Tropper , who also did the equally scrappy Banshee and The Adam Project. Even though the action forms the fulcrum of each episode, the characters are strongly developed and the plot continually develops in interesting and often sensationalistic directions. Season 3 recently dropped on Max.… Expand
