Embarrassing Tripe.

Don’t call it or even related it to Kung Fu the series because if anything, it’s an embarrassment to it. Create something on your own instead of water down and cheapen a great show while trying to profit off it’s name.

This is like eating cheese popcorn vs steak and lobster. They’re using every rerun cliché, there’s nothing original here while wrapping it in demeaning Chinese culture.
From using the family traditions of Chinese families to the martial arts, it’s almost like they’re making a parody yet trying to be serious about it.
3 years training, really? I trained for many years in martial arts and at 3 years you’re a guppy.
And the gay brother, ex boyfriend who happens to be within law enforcement, a female lead, a family owned restaurant, the use of the community being ignorant traditionalists to the Chinese ‘Triads’….how lazy and offensive.

Olivia Liang, the main character is the only half decent thing about this show. Tzi Ma is reduced to a caricature of a Chinese father and too bad, he’s a terrific actor.
They not only tried to go ‘PC’ yet by reducing this to a joke they’ve embarrassed not only a once good series yet the Chinese culture.
What an utter embarrassment.
