Wu Assassins (serial)

A young chef (Kai) in San Francisco was raised by his foster dad (Uncle Six), who happens to be part of the Chinese triad. As a young man, Kai is working to separate himself from the crime life of his father. But then he is recruited by a mysterious martial arts master to be the next Wu Assassin. His job, to save the world by killing the 5 Wu Lords who are in possession of the Wu (supernatural powers focused on Wood, Earth, Fire, Water, & Metal), and reuniting the Wu. I liked this series, the fact that Kai is a reluctant hero, and the occasional backstory flashbacks that are appropriately times and spaced to fill in context when needed. Nothing here felt forced, and the action was quality martial arts choreography. Nice series.
4 stars (out of 5)
