Black Sash

i must admit i really liked this show. the martial arts are not realistic but i found the characters easy to follow. the story seems pretty cheesy, and it is a "no-brainer" type of show, but tell me what other WB show isn't? basically, it's just a feel good hour of television and it sure beats watching bad reality television.

I saw the pilot episode by chance and i thought it was pretty good, the plot is decent and i would definately recommend it because in my opinion there are not that many good shows to watch on sunday nights ne ways. So check it out if not for the plot at least the actors are all really good looking.

Five outcasts work under an ex-San Francisco police officer who runs a kung fu studio. Tommy Chen was a San Francisco narcotics cop who went to Hong Kong to stop the flow of heroin

into the City by the Bay. His partner in Hong Kong was in on it and framed him for posession. He served five years in Hong Kong. During that time, he lost everything, including his wife and

daughter. He was served a restraining order telling him to keep 100 yards away from his ex-wife, her husband, and his daughter. Now he has to work as a bounty hunter to raise the five thousand dollars to see her. Tori, the daughter of a murdered cop, has a

chip on her shoulder the size of the Rock of Gibraltar. Tommy

takes on a student who's been physically abused by his father. Tori and Tommy go after the man who killed her father. Tommy and his old kung fu master go after the man, Billy Wu, and his boss. His new student gets the courage to see that his abusive father's put away.

Really, i read many ppl say the show sucked, but i'm in a different opinion. I think the show had a good background history, and i was really wanting to see more after the 6th episode. I really liked that the characters were shown as human beings. And not supernatural power ppl. The teens could defend themself, but also to a limit. I've seen a bit over 5 seasons og Charmed, 5 of Angel, 2 of alias. I got really bored of Alias. People say that Alias was a better show, but i really can't get that. I read about the guy saying Black Sash was only a bunch of pritty ppl. So what about Alias? The only reason i saw that was because Jennifer Garner is hot. Then also i found the history a bit fun in the beginning. Then i got tired of seeing Jennifers face, so then i don't see alias no more. I say that black sash is a good show, and i didn't get tired of it. (even though it was only 6 eps. I got tired of alias after 4 eps, but kept watching, may be it would get better, but it never did). Black sash is a sure 10 from me, alias get 6. Only because Jennifer Garner is easy on the eyes...

Black Sash is a decent martial arts show with Romeo Must Die's Russel Wong. The series is like The Karate Kid with more kids thrown in. None of the kids really seem be skilled in martial arts but they all act decently. Ray J even does a good job as one of Wong's most skilled students. Extra cool points go to Missy Peregrym and Sarah Carter for being hotties on the show.
