    Wu Assassins
    Fun enough - a little uneven in the acting and the script. Some of the actors are really good and some clearly are less so which makes it noticeable. Sometimes the script is OK and sometimes it just doesnt work. Action sequences are really good. And appreciate the representation of the Chinese in San Francisco Experience - and all the Cantonese speakers. All and all, it shows some promise and worth to look at another season.
