Kung Fu starts with a wonderful first outing.
Kung Fu Season 1 Episode 1 presents the viewer with a brilliant lead character in Nicky Shen. Olivia Liang shines in the role, which makes the show all the more enjoyable.
While some may consider the fight scenes a bit cheesy, the action pairs well with the emotional beats, and the stunt performances are breathtaking.
Nicky Shen is very complex. She left home for three years and trained in kung fu at a Shaolin Monastery in China.
Her kung fu master, Pei-Ling, acts as her kung fu teacher, her mentor, and mother figure. They mutually cared for each other during Nicky's time at the monastery, and that care was evident through their short time on screen.
From the moment they met, there seemed to be an unspoken connection.
I wish we could have seen more of Pei-Ling before her untimely death.
Pei-Ling's tragic fate...
