Warrior Series Review
Warrior is a typical martial arts drama that highlights the fight between the oppressed and the elite. The protagonist is strong and it will be only a matter of time that he takes up the cause of his masses. But the series also brings a complex story where politics and family loyalties will be tested as the Ah Sahm and his sister stand at odds.
Interspersed with Chinese martial arts sequences, the series should be delightful to watch if love action dramas. Cinemax’s Strike Back was all military, in contrast this one takes the traditional martial arts movies route and gives you the feel of those 80s movies.
