The TVI Take
Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin's adaptation of an unproduced Bruce Lee writing concept. 1870s San Francisco Chinatown, the Tong wars, the Chinese Exclusion Act backdrop.
Andrew Koji anchors the lead. The action choreography is among the most-rigorous on television. Cinemax dissolved its scripted slate after Season 2; HBO Max picked the show up for Season 3, then purged it in the 2023 cleanout. Two-platform cancellation of a critically-celebrated work.
