Here it is the sequel to the film Warrior that I'm waiting for. I wonder if this second movie is as good or not as good as this second warrior film ...
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a movie but a series :) The first season was really good, I quite enjoyed it even though I'm not into martial arts.
DeleteThis was recommended to me by others as well and I keep on meaning to watch it.. but the kiddies never fall asleep early enough for me to watch a show alone!
ReplyDeleteI don't like gritty and martial arts series, but I really did like this one as it had well rounded episodes, nice digressive episodes and well built characters, it kinda lures you in :) It also helped that I worship Tom Weston Jones and Kieran Bew too :)
DeleteWe don't have Cinemax in this house, but we did decide we are going to cancel Hulu and try HBO in its place. I'll probably have to torrent this one once it gets a few more seasons under its belt.
ReplyDeleteHBO is the one I never watch, at least their American programmes, but HBO here on cable is good as it offers rather fresh movies and some of the biggest shows, but it is pay per view channel so we never had it while I had TV.
