More Critic Reviews for Warrior Season 1 All Critics (23) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (5) Warrior has its charms and much like a Chinese "Peaky Blinders" or "Gangs of New York," it's best when it leans into mankind's reaction to corruption and injustice. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Hanh Nguyen indieWire Top Critic It doesn't even remotely live up to [Lee's] legacy, too often coming off like a dirge when it needs to be as light on its feet as the man who once envisioned it. Apr 5, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic For all the technical virtuosity of its breakneck fight scenes, the most powerful punches are landed by the writing, a model of the snappy ingenuity at which contemporary American TV excels. Jul 8, 2019 | Full Review… Liam Fay Times (UK) Top Critic In an America where "trigger warnings" insulate sensitive personalities from the harsh realities of life, Warrior is a much-needed punch in the face. Jul 11, 2019 | Full Review… Richard Yu Cinema Escapist Capturing the feeling of marginalized cultural existence through a subjective fighting stance is "Warrior's" top priority, and that alone ends up making the show feel worthy of Bruce Lee's legacy. Jul 11, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Andrew Bundy The Playlist From drama, the Old West, history, and martial arts, the first season of Warrior is one of the best first seasons to a show I have ever seen. It balances every element perfectly to tell its story... Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review… Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community I wanted Shaw Brothers, but I got Farrelly instead. And I am deeply confused by that. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… Stephen Harber Den of Geek The series promises an intense and passionate journey. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 18, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Víctor López G. Espinof It is a deliriously good time. Dec 6, 2019 | Full Review… Micah Peters The Ringer There is much to savour in Warrior. The action is overly graphic at times, but the martial arts sequences are memorably scrappy and naturalistic - bones crunch and viscera squishes. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) Warrior is a victory in nearly every sense of the word. Not only is it great TV, it also rights a wrong that has lingered over the legacy of cultural icon Bruce Lee for nearly half a century. Apr 8, 2019 | Full Review… Alison Foreman Mashable While I was entertained throughout the first run of the show, I am not sure it is going to have enough to keep me coming back for a second season May 24, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Emporium View All Critic Reviews (23) Audience Reviews for Warrior: Season 1 Sep 03, 2019 Absolutely loved the first season of Cinemax's Warrior. It had me enthralled from the first episode and I'm now eagerly anticipating the arrival of season two. Fantastic acting, script, characters and choreography. All in all, a very solid foundation to take the show forward and looking forward to see where it goes. Louise V Aug 24, 2019 excellent. Really good acting and action. don c Aug 21, 2019 great show , just enjoy it dendy p Aug 15, 2019 Beautifully made, great characters, brilliant fight scenes and both a fascinating look at a period of history that is much ignored whilst drawing parallels with the US politics today. Well done the writers. All that and it puts right a wrong to the wonderful and much missed Bruce Lee. Mervyn K Jul 25, 2019 Loved this show, Bruce Lee came up with a great concept and this show executed it perfectly Hieu H Jul 24, 2019 Very entertaining. Really builds the world of late 1800s San Francisco to life. A lot of the racial themes and tensions are so relevant to present day. Nicholas G Jul 18, 2019 Love it, bring on Season 2! Garry R Jul 05, 2019 As a diehard Bruce Lee fan, i was excited but very skeptical that a new show would do justice to such an irreplaceable legend. After watching however, all of my concerns were not only alleviated, but the show blew my expectation away! Not only does the show have some great action sequences, the overall writing and character design creates an excellent, vivid world that educates the audience to a major part of American history that is often barely mentioned or conpletely skipped in school. The actors and actresses are all charismatic and diverse, the story is fast paced and entertaining, and the fights are well choreographed. It reminds me of everything that RZA's Man's With the Iron Fists did right, but much improved with elements of an excellent mafia/mob television show like Empire. This show holds it's own in terms of entertainment value and quality writing, and as an added bonus is a huge step towards improving representation of Asian actors showcased in featured roles and strong Asian females who defy stereotypes. I've been waiting for a show like this to tackle issues regarding Asian American identify, but it does so in an entertaining and organically authenic and non-preachy way. I'm thrilled it is renewed for a second season! Kenji M Jul 02, 2019 very poor acting so far - episode 1 Janet M Jun 11, 2019 Just got a chance to watch this. Hoping for a season 2! It was definitely fun to watch.
