7 - Father Jun losing his mind hits a tad close to home for me. It’s a good twist on the character dynamics. Tensions brew between the Irish & Chinese again over a random stupid attack. This is somewhat a filler ep, lining up the next one.
8 - A payout ep that starts with Mai Ling & Li Yong marrying, and Buckley getting elected mayor. There were some issues like Mai Ling’s dress being green instead of red and how Li Yong receives a hongbao - simple cultural oversights that were surprising given how this show tries to honor Chinese culture. Then the fight we’ve been waiting for - Dacascos v Taslim. Nice fight. One of the best this show has delivered so far. And both actors show they can act as well as fight. Then another fight we weren’t expecting - O’Hara b the police chief. Nice fisticuffs - very satisfying. And the end of ep cliffhanger with Lai was great - she’s such a sword hawty.
Two more to go…
