- Wu Assassins is fun, light entertainment that makes the most of its action that unashamedly ties everything together. Despite its shortcomings, Wu Assassins is surprisingly easy to watch and has enough drama in its 10 episodes to make it a solid choice if you’re looking for another action series to tide you over this summer.

These are well-choreographed and exciting fight scenes. Nearly each character has martial arts skills, and it was fascinating not only watching those skills, but how their characters were revealed through the fighting. For instance, Jenny appears to be used to being underestimated by most opponents. When she saves Tommy, she doesn't fight until she...
CG goes undercover to try to bring both Alec's Russian crew and Uncle's Six's crew in. She works for Lu Xin initially to gather data, but also to find dirt about him. Occasionally, we hear from the other police who are trying to keep the peace between these two warring fractions. However, as CG gets pulled into the Wu world, her initial role falter...
The Earth Wu is barely in the show, but makes a big impact. Seeing that his son is a disappointment and shouldn't inherit the Wu, the Earth Wu kidnaps potentials in order to interview them. If they pass the interview, they would receive the Wu. If they don't, the Earth Wu kills them. All have been killed so far. The Earth Wu is very connected to hi...
The Water Wu is played by the fantastic actress Summer Glau, but she feels quite under-utilized. We know little about her besides the fact that she follows the Wood Wu and has had a romantic relationship with the Metal Wu (regardless of the body he is in). True, the Water Wu is beautiful and dangerous, but what else? Her sole purpose seems to be as...
Kai, Lu Xin, Jenny and Tommy have been friends since Uncle Six took Kai in as his own. We see them together as teenagers: getting tattoos, eating and goofing around. The scenes from their youth help show their history and chemistry. Kai comes across as more reserved than the other three, and they come across as protective of him. This continues int...
1000 monks gave their powers for the Wu Assassin (Kai) in order to successfully fight the Wu Warlords, restoring balance. In addition, when Kai needs to hide his identity, a monk's face appears as his own as a way to protect him. While we see a couple of the monks' faces, we don't see others. We don't know if each monk had a unique power that Kai c...
In this series, we have multiple examples of family. We have Tommy and Jenny, a tight-knit sibling pair trying to live up to the high expectations of their family. Then there is Zan of the Triad who has no family and envies Jenny. We also have Alec the Wood Wu, who began his game just so he could go back to his family. Even CG talks about her fathe...
Out of the four friends, Lu Xin is the one who was burnt and harmed by the fire when they were teens and trapped in the building. His face and ear were scarred, and it is something he is sensitive about, thinking people treat him differently because of it. However, until other characters mentioned the scars, we didn't really notice much about them....
Uncle Six seems only sincere when he is with Kai. While we doubt many things about Uncle Six, we never doubt his love for Kai. Even though Kai may be angry with Uncle Six, he also loves him. Uncle Six notes that Kai doesn't use the expensive knife Uncle Six bought him, but Kai also doesn't throw it away. This symbolizes their relationship — while K...
A key part of Kai's personality is that he is not a killer. Uncle Six likes this about Kai and considers it a strength. Ying Ying tells Kai that as the Wu Assassin, he will need to kill. Kai answers back that he isn't a killer. However, when it comes time to kill, Kai does this easily and without much struggle. In contrast, another MCU superhero, D...

Aug 8, 2019 · Netflix only offered three episodes for review when it came to “Wu Assassins,” so I can’t speak to whether this pacing keeps up, what the series ultimately even does with its premise, or if the tacky pop music it layers on fight scenes gets any better (it's about the only big flaw of the show).
