The first couple episodes are pretty good and then the show tanks, particularly the back half. I tried to figure out what happened and it looks like Byron Wu & Brad Falchuk, the creators, only actually wrote the first and last episodes (with Byron going solo on episode two).
I don't mind minor plot errors or character inconsistencies, especially in action shows, but they had so many things that didn't make sense or were illogical as the show went on. It was too much even for me.
The show had fantastic action scenes and nailed the casting of Boss Sun, Mrs Sun (Michelle Yeoh is flawless as always), and Charles......which brings me to Bruce. What in the world happened there? He sticks out like a sore thumb, the character isn't funny, the dialogue is bad, and he makes terrible decisions to the point they don't make sense. TK follows is cut from the same cloth and isn't funny either.
There are flashes of brilliance (I'm still laughing about John Cho's house) but with Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, and Johnny Kou this show could have been so much more. If they do have a Season 2 the writers need to keep this one under their thumb and no sloppy outsourcing. And no Bruce either, period.
