Wu Assasins

[Drunk Monk]

ep 3 loses a little speed but it does deliver the first cat fight, and it's very satisfying.  This ep sets up the first big fight - a cliffhanger which makes me understand why they only sent my the first three eps.  It also introduces Eugene. Yep, there's a namesake character, but he's a minor character.  At least he's not mocked like Eugene characters often are.

So to summarize before Netflix drops the whole load next Thursday:
Great fights
Iko rocks
Decent characters although a bit hackneyed (tongs, chefs, drug addicts, typical Chinatown stereotypes)
Beautiful SF
Great fights

One more comment - it's accurate without pandering. Not only do they get the 5 elements right (unlike say Avatar the Last Airbender) there are constant casual nods to Asian culture that are spot on that those who know will catch and those who don't will miss.  Sunzi and Guan Gong are referenced in passing - appropriately but without dwelling on it. And Iko's character is half Chinese half Indonesian, where most shows like this would play him off as Chinese.  He's actually completely Indonesian and hardly looks Chinese, but the script covers that.  

I really hope this is well received.  Y'all know what I'm binging next weekend.
