A martial arts expert arrives from China in 19th-century San Francisco, where he joins a powerful crime family and confronts rival Chinatown gangs.
Starring:Andrew Koji, Olivia Cheng, Jason Tobin

The Martial Arts period drama based on the Teachings of Bruce Lee originally premiered on April 5, 2019, on Cinemax. It is based on an original concept and treatment by Bruce Lee, and is executive-produced by his daughter, Shannon Lee, and film director Justin Lin. Jonathan Tropper, known for the Cinemax original series Banshee, another favorite of mine is the showrunner.
Set during the Tong Wars in late 1870s San Francisco, the crime series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China in search of his sister, only to be sold to one of the most powerful tongs in Chinatown.
Perry stars as Father-Jun in Warrior, Mr Moua in The Harvest, Mr. Chin in Boogie, Ping Wu in The Knick. He’s also been in roles in John Wick 2, The Equalizer TV series, and more. He also has an upcoming sci-fi series 3 Body Problem coming soon to Netflix.

Warrior’s excellent third season left fans hungering for more. The martial arts drama based on Bruce Lee’s writing successfully made the move from Cinemax to Max, let’s hope it can once again find a new audience in its new home.
The series featured a phenomenal cast, outstanding and brilliant fight choreography, extravagant costume design, a great soundtrack especially for fans of hip hop and fantastic storytelling!
