I don't think I've ever seen one with that level of character development, production value, and story-telling. Give it a watch. I really want a season 3 so boost the numbers please.

Show is badass. And the soundtracks have some excellent foreign rap music.

Kingdom isn't Asian American if we're thinking about the same show.

and Young Jun is the best character

Most of the characters are good tbh. I'm glad that they showed the Irish's side of the story and gave more dimensions to the characters.

There was a point last season where I caught myself thinking the Irish mob guy might not be such bad guy.

Then I realized that actually every one of the characters is in some way a bad guy.

Cool trailer.

What makes this Asian American? Joint production?

1. Setting. It's about Chinese immigrants in the 1870s in San Francisco. I've seen plenty of Chinese produced shows, but of course it's set in China, and it's just about Chinese people in China. Something I've seen hundreds of times already. This tells the story of Asians in America. It's something we barely hear about. Asians being brought over as laborers was a small blurb in our school textbooks.

2. It's produced by American studios. It isn't a dubbed over import. And it's really nice to see Asians with varied roles. You have Chao who is a clever gray character. You have Mai Ling as the ambitious and cut throat leader. You have father jun as the hard old gangster. You have so many Asians in roles you never see before.

I'm generally not into woke culture at all, but I was very taken aback by how varied and developed the characters are.

It takes place in the 1800s so that comment is nonsense.

Hollywood is one of CIA's/U.S. government's propaganda machines. This is 100% fact. Remember all those anti middle eastern shit in the media in the 2000s? No one can even make a hollywood movie or TV show related to the U.S. military without the military's consent. China has been U.S.'s rival for a long time and if you're a regular movie or tc show watcher you'd know how they portray Asian males but every 40 movie or show that shit on Asians, you get that one decent Asian representation in some form. Recently seems like things are changing a little bit though with that one big Marvel movie coming up or the new Mortal Kombat movie but the tv show Warrior is exactly the opposite of what the CIA/U.S. gov't want Asians/Asian males to be portrayed as. Masculine, have sex appeal, showing they are dominant against other males of different racers and showing sex scenes with Asian males and other females. There is no Ken Jeong type of character where they say degrading shit to themselves or to Asians. So like I said because of this show, I'm surprised they allowed this show to be released...having amazing Asian representation with a lot of positives and no negative self degrading, self hate shit.

There's still a chance it will be renewed. HBO hasn't said it won't renew yet

It was a Cinemax show though. I imagine HBO could take over production but I doubt it.

Cinemax canceled all of their shows. So if they didnt intend to make it I imagine theyd be open to selling it so someone else could instead.

At least I hope they would.
