Falchuk and Wu managed to create a unique and addictive action-comedy that highlights veteran talent and a few fresh faces while seamlessly building the foundation of the complicated history between three very different people.
Despite a few foibles in its execution, The Brothers Sun is notable for its diversity of Asian characters, who run the gamut from (anti)hero to villain, making this action-packed dramedy series, all in all, a worthy star vehicle for Yeoh.
Although the end result feels like something less than the sum of its parts, it still yields enough fun to make Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk‘s action-comedy-drama as bingeable as a tray of freshly baked cookies.
“The Brothers Sun” does ramble on, but when Yeoh and Chien bust out those fancy moves and gather around the family table with Song Li, its pure action/drama magic.
The quality of dialogue and storytelling in “The Brothers Sun,” despite much fun and electricity, proves a drag on many of her co-stars. Ms. Yeoh, meanwhile, levitates.
If there are bones to be picked with the serviceable action series, it’s with the bones themselves — both those broken and those left untouched. “The Brothers Sun” spends more time with Charles but its heart belongs to Bruce.
Aside from the presence of Michelle Yeoh, “The Brothers Sun” is an awful series that’s bad in almost every way.
