The most underrated series out there that I got to know while looking at and reading some list of renewed shows! Can you imagine that?!
A blend of awesome 19th century SF screenplay & storylines, ultra-superb acting with deep intensity, amazing development, meticulous attention to details and a completely enthralling score makes this series like the GoT of the 19th century, with one exception and that is all its episodes are stellar. 20 shiny episodes for the pleasure of our eyes and music to our ears.
Every time I see Mai Ling, I'm mesmerized by the beauty, soft voice and ultra-charismatic aura of this woman. She's the show's female character so dear to my heart. Dianne Doan is hugely talented and the character of Mai ling fits her like a glove.
Warrior doesn't shy away from nothing, shows everything with deep pictures and caressing brutality and from those comes its force, shaking us like "des fétus de paille". We are nothing but straws going left and right by Warrior's gusts of wind.
That's how awesome this show is and I'm sure that its success will grow larger and larger until all relevant humans on earth are aware of it. I'm enthusiastic about it and believe in it.
If you are to bow to this show, "Bow Low"...

- (+) Amazing screenplay, storylines and plots, the size of ten skyscrapers and the shininess of diamonds.
- (+) Superb acting by who? Everybody!, especially shiny are Ah Sahm, Li Yong, Ah Toy, Mai Ling, Wang Chao, Young Jun, Bill O'Hara, Dylan Leary, Penelope Blake, Walter Buckley among others. Please know, I wanted to line-up the whole cast, so you get the real picture; that's how good, worthy and stellar they are.
- (+) Award-winning development in all episodes, very few seen and encountered at such a high level.
- (+) Enthralling, 3D, multi-faceted score, well fitted with every scene, accompanying fights and emotions alike.

This series is really promising. It has all the ingredients to be as good as Banshee or Peaky Blinders. The mixture of both worlds made this series born. Hopefully it will become a masterpiece.

Warrior is one of the best and most underrated shows of the last decade. It's hard for me to even describe how much I love this show. Everything from the acting to the writing to the production is fantastic! All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how loved this show really is. A lot of fans were worried when Cinemax announced they won't be making shows anymore but fortunately for us fans HBO Max picked it and season three is right around the corner. It was so deserving of another season, hopefully with HBO Max's platform and the great word of mouth that the fan base will continue to grow. I can't wait to see more of this incredible show!
I just finished the second episode and I am hooked. The characters are all very interesting. The main character is quite likable and all the role players are strong. The production value is great. The action is exciting. There isn't anything about this show that annoys me. It's very stylistic and pushes the story forward with a good brisk pace. The women on this show are HOT and it kinda makes me wish I lived in this world. PS - I've never been a big fan of martial arts stories but this show makes me want to watch a lot more of them.
**First off, disregard the few very low scores and comments. I read them all and they were basically all trolling comments and ratings **
That said, the show wasn't perfect in the first few scenes but it really pulled itself together and shaped up really well to end (2 seasons so far) with a strong ending and interesting cliffhangers! The 1st episode of season 1 was so so but every subsequent episode just got better and better! A very interesting story that comes from true history and needs more attention (especially now, when all the whitewashed chapters of our history are finally being told and told truthfully) & a really sharp martial arts action series. Unlike Into The Badlands which I couldn't get into because the choreography (although stunning) was unbelievable and the storyline was uninteresting, Warrior has way better writing and action that is more realistic (of course some is over the top but that's lthe point when it focuses on Ah-Sahms fights. He personifies Bruce Lee's larger than like persona) in many cases.
I'm really glad I found this series. I binged it all in 2 days. I'm eagerly awaiting and hoping that although Cinemax is no longer renewing its shows that HBO max which absorbed the properties renews this one as was promised and as many many fans are awaiting. I can't see why they wouldn't.
Can't recommend Warrior enough to martial arts & historical piece (the sets and costumes are excellent and fit the late 1800's perfectly!) lovers! 9/10!
