Sprinkles are bad for Diabetics.
So, I saw it.
Yeah.
It's not horrible. It's great. It's very much a TV show. It doesn't have the deep rich patina that movies have. There was something very clean about the production design. I never got the grit and the mud of turn of the century San Francisco.
It's very soapy. Everybody has a secret. Everybody has an angle. Everybody sleeps with everybody else. And it's also Skinemax! Lots of nudity and sex. And many of the times it's just so they can have nudity.
The story is as old as time. Ah Sahm (The Bruce Lee Character) arrives on an immigrant ship from China in San Francisco. He's on the quest to find his sister and return her to China. The locals all hate the Chinese immigrants and want them to go home. Ah Sahm gets brought into one of the Tong's after he beats up the immigration police at the dock. Then we introduce the rest of the factions in the city. There is the corrupt mayor. His corrupt wife. We meet the two rival Chinese Gang Lords. We meet the corrupt Cops and the corrupt union bosses. There are plenty of fight scenes. Ah Sahm might have some skills but he's not Bruce Lee. I do like the fights. Basic and brutal. No wire work.
I've got one more on the DVR. I'll see if that strikes my fancy. Then I'll wait for the next cinemax free preview to see the rest. Or not.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
