‘Blood cooked kicka** action choreography, a super talented and charming cast, family business, triad gang wars and what not! Recommended! Michelle Yeoh is kick-a**!’

The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actress stars in the show as the Taiwanese immigrant Eileen, who lives in Los Angeles with her son Bruce Sun.

But after his older brother unexpectedly moves to LA from Taipei, Taiwan, in the wake of an assassination attempt on their father, Bruce learns that his family is connected to organized crime.

Although Eileen fled to the US to keep Bruce safe and to avoid the gangster life of her husband and his family, the organized crime ring won’t leave them alone.

‘Finished The Brothers Sun, sooo good. I hope we get a second season,’ wrote another fan. ‘One of the best Netflix shows in such a long time. The cast where all perfect in their roles [sic]!’

Some fans dug the series so much that they even a single additional season wasn’t going to be enough to satisfy them.

‘The Brothers Sun is so good ima need for Netflix to give me multiple seasons please & thank u. I’m only on episode 2 & is already obsessed,’ one X user wrote.

Produced by Brad Falchuk, who is best known for his work co-creating Glee and Pose with Ryan Murphy, Yeoh said she was thrilled to be involved in a series starring Asian actors, something she has battled for throughout her entire career.

‘For the last few years, I have been fighting for different roles and hoping to find the entry point into where we all deserve to have a seat at the table,’ Yeoh told Variety.

‘It’s only in the last couple of years that you see more and more of the Asian stories being told.’

The Oscar-winning actress commented that although Brad Falchuk is not Asian, ‘he championed our story.’

‘I think the most important thing is how we embrace each other and help each other tell the narrative and the best stories so that we keep pushing these boundaries,’ she shared. 

Yeoh made history at last year after becoming the first woman who identifies as Asian to land an Oscar for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. 

One fan loved the show so much after only episode two that they they were calling for several more seasons.
