The Brothers Sunis a cathartic action comedy that almost pays homage to Jackie Chan’s contribution to the martial arts film scene. This Taiwanese-American series also gives us a mix of The Family and Beef which recently earned a Golden Globe.

Charles Sun, the son of a powerful Taiwanese crime boss, needs to protect his mother and brother, who lead ordinary lives in Los Angeles, after their family comes under attack. Charles, a prominent mobster himself, faces threats from Taiwanese enemies while trying to shield his estranged family members.

His brother, Bruce, gets culture-shocked when Charles re-enters his life and reveals their family’s criminal ties. Bruce doesn’t fit the bill of a gangster — he is a nervous, struggling student secretly pursuing improv classes and working as a taxi driver to make ends meet.

This isn’t Mama Sun’s new role as a matriarch.We saw Michelle Yeoh previously as an icy mother-in-law in Crazy Rich Asians, a psychic in A Haunting in Venice, and a guardian in Shang Chi and of course in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Another familiar face is Alice Hewkin (The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself), playing both June and May Song, club-owning, drug-dealing twin sisters.

The general consensus is that this is a must-watch, with critics calling it “ supreme and gloriously lethal,”and hailing all of the actors’ performances.

Before you grab your TV remote, remember that this isn’t a family-friendly watch. The violence is graphic and the language is spicy, so make sure no little ones are around.

WHERE TO WATCH IT- You can watch The Brothers Sun on Netflix.
