Kung Fu (CW)

Kung Fu is a show on The CW which is about a Chinese family and the daughter who was in China for 3 years before coming back to San Francisco. It is kind of a reboot for the old Kung Fu. Season one's overarching plot is about stopping a seemingly bad woman from stealing magic weapons to do harm.

Why It's Awesome

 * 1) Nicky, Ryan, Althea, and the parents are very good characters and have good characteristics.
 * 2) Zhilan is a good villain and her actress is cool.
 * 3) The overarching plot is cool because of magic weapons and Zhilan being Pei-Ling's sister.
 * 4) The pilot had a short setting in China and it looked very pretty.
 * 5) The flashbacks about Pei-Ling and very well done and meaningful.
 * 6) Ronda has a relatable story and she and Nicky got along well. Other side-characters like Ronda are also well furbished.
 * 7) The supporting characters for Nicky are great too, like Evan and Henry.
 * 8) It's a great show for this era because of the Asian hate going around, and the show is helping humanize Asian people and noting the need for looking out for people in need.
 * 9) The use of slow-motion is good.
 * 10) Each new episode has a nice single plot and gets better each time.
 * 11) The show can be funny in one scene and then takes on a very heavy tone in the next.
 * 12) The show is great at building up tension and stakes.
 * 13) The show gives modern insight on modern problems.
 * 14) The quick pacing can feel awesome for you.

"Bad" Part

 * 1) The pacing and cutting of scenes may feel too sudden to some viewers.
