I would kike to be able to say I'm glad to see Warrior back on the screen for a third season but, well, I'm not. Here's why.

It was my understanding that this series was finished with season two. Season two rounded out the tale an clash between rival Tongs in the early days of San Francisco, nicely.

The third season effectively starts without any meaningful purpose and direction and it really shows.The struggle between the Tong's is resurrected, leaving a stale feeling of deja vu. A new character or two is drooped in, along with a sprinkling of sub plots in an attempt to liven things up. That said, its not really contributing anything compelling to a tale well trodden.

Adding not only to the sense of inertia but also irritation is the need to tout, the by now hoary chestnut, that is "the message". Alternate lifestyles, diversity and feminism are front and centre. Out of place revisionism, in a tale that supposed to be set over 100 years ago, filled with gritty, martial arts, action.

In summary, if you are going to resurrect a series you better have something meaningful to add to whats gone before. Warrior season three, hopes to cash in on its past success, without understanding what made the series work in previous seasons.

it was really good. It was a project that the late Bruce Lee wanted to do for so long, before his passing.

However, I am not pleased that it ended after 2 seasons, especially after where it left it! Which is why I gave it 3 and a half stars. Sorry.

Still, Warrior was a brutal and satisfying martial arts show, which would've compete against Game of Thrones. Or at least of few shows that have that potential.

Season 2 - Has taken this show to greater heights. I am absolutely-fing-liking the direction this has taken. 3 episodes in and I feel like the impressive s01e01 episode is now performing as a constant rather than ebbing and flowing at times during the first season. The first season had its up and downs but overall I still would rate it a 10 just for fun factor and martial arts like no other tv show. Season 2 though has taken all of this up a notch. I reiterate that there's nothing like this out there that I can think of in recent times. Budgets have shot up on the latest series... the fighting is ace. The setting continues to be really exciting and unusual. Characters are getting better developed. I mean I don't normally bother to comment to much on tv series unless they emote something from me. I had no idea until recently this whole tv show was based on an old Bruce Lee concept. But anyway, If you like martial arts movies, westerns, fighting, mafia, triads... you would be doing yourself a disservice by not at least giving this a go. Your mileage may vary but if you make it to season 2... it gets better. A lot better. I'm loving it. This is now on a par with Vikings (one of my all time favourites) for the scratch it itches. I just hope it keeps on staying solid throughout the season. It has brought me a lot of joy so far!

The marketing point for this series is that this work is "based on the writings of Bruce Lee." Well it certainly does indeed; the storylines and ideologies are from that of the 1970's, which are so out of touch with the 21st century audience. If one enjoys his type of corny and nonsensical scenarios from his films in the 70's, then this series is along the lines of those films. If one is looking at this series for the martial arts elements, then you'll be disappointed too. There's nothing special or memorable here with just a slight homage to his classic steps and moves--again more stuff from the 70's. Watch 'Into the Badlands' instead... their producers learned after the first season, much more artistic, dynamic and grandiose in the second season.

In this day and age when the n-word is sensitively removed from the lexicons in entertainment, media and society, then why is it still OK to repeatedly use the c-word which is equally vile, hurtful and offensive? Just teaching and perpetuating another generation of viewers that it is OK to continue to be hateful and insulting. This also just shows the lacking of creativeness and skillfulness in the writers' and directors' storytelling abilities--shame on them for being tone-deaf and taking the easy route. This is not a matter of being PC, but rather the fact that the show-runners are ignorant and irresponsible in producing such crap. Wake up folks; it is 2019 and no longer acceptable.
