This is a mostly spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes of Wu Assassins, which premiered August 8 on Netflix.
Starring renowned martial artist and movie star Iko Uwais (The Raid films, The Night Comes for Us), Vikings' Katheryn Winnick, and Sons of Anarchy's Tommy Flanagan, Netflix's curiously brutal Wu Assassins is almost what would happen if someone rebooted John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China without the Jack Burton character. Or the smirky B-movie charm.
When the fists and feet fly -- and the thrown knives get caught and the fired bullets get dodged -- Wu Assassins is the fierce and formidable fighting series that Marvel's Iron Fist should have been. The skirmishes slyly lean into the supernatural, allowing a food truck chef (Uwais) to become infused with the might of a thousand warrior monks so that he can protect San Francisco's Chinatown from evil elemental warlords. But when the paint dries and all we're left with is the human drama, the series sags and the story sometimes strains to keep us invested.
