I didn't really like the first episode because it seemed like a bad remake of Rush hour 1.

Most TV series take about 2-3 episodes to get into and I have disliked a pilot before but got hooked on a show after giving it another chance few times before.

Rush hour is funny, a bit exciting and has good production value. I'm 3 episodes in and liking it more and more.

Give this show a chance and don't judge it based on the movies. This is it's own thing and should be judged as so.

The tough thing about having a reboot with none of the original actors is that it loses its appeal somewhat to viewers that are expecting the same punch in terms of acting and action. The other difficult thing to produce is the same feel of a movie in a TV series. But that's where the expectations really differ and should be taken into account. Different actors take over and those who are really looking for a character, or interpretation of a character, similar to Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker's style are going to feel like there's something missing when these elements are tweaked (probably more so for Lee's character than Carter's in terms of style). That does not make this bad, just different.

In terms of the TV series packing that similar punch to the movies, they're trying to build a story over an extended period of time. It will not produce the same instantaneous payoff as a movie, which still doesn't make it bad. I'm pretty sure the budget isn't as large as the movies ($33 million, estimated for the original Rush Hour) but that honestly doesn't seem to stop them from including some good fight scenes, chases and developing relationships between the characters.

I read in another review that someone found Jon Foo (Lee's actor) to be slow and sluggish. I'll let the pilot speak for itself, as I would say much to the contrary. He proves to be agile and an interesting martial artist. In terms of comedic timing and chemistry, I actually found there to be a lot to enjoy. Similar to the movies, Lee is mostly the stoic, by- the-book character, and Carter is the louder, bolder, break-the-rules- when-necessary foil. I think the rambunctious quick wittedness of Carter/Hires' character and Lee/Foo's deadpan delivery really complement each other. I mean p.c. or not p.c., this is still the similar east meets west, funny, action-packed (maybe not as much as the movies but still good) Rush Hour that I knew and loved. Whether, as another user mentioned in their review, they need to move into the 21st century and take into consideration the more conservative approach to comedy for television regarding race, bear in mind that other successful television shows actually use race and stereotypes as part of their formula (such as Blackish) and find a way to open a conversation and make it funny. In Rush Hour, despite all of these stereotypes you see (which honestly are a nod to the original movies, references peppered throughout) they still show the relationship between two polar opposites in terms of culture and personality (like the original Rush Hour movies) and that they overcome and are able to cultivate a bond based on mutual respect and friendship.

Lastly, these actors are working really hard to make a fun show for us. So to all of the cast and crew who made this series possible, keep going! There are fans out there who appreciate the work you're putting into making this series!

There's a lot of hate on IMDb for this series, but you know, it's not all that bad. It's a standard buddy cop series, a little dim-witted humor, a bit of banter, "special" moments, shooting and fighting. It's nothing you haven't seen a million times before, but at the same time, it's nothing haven't seen done much worse before.

I think the problem people have is they're comparing it with the movies. Obviously this movie's attempt at Jackie Chan-style fight scenes is going to be pretty disappointing, but they do try, and I've seen worse fights on TV. And quite honestly, I never totally connected to Chris Tucker and kind of like the TV guy better. And while the series is quite inferior to the first movie, and somewhat inferior to the third, it's really no worse than the second.

This is not to say that I play to keep watching. I saw 3 episodes, and they were all okay, and if there wasn't much else to watch on TV I would watch more, but truthfully, even among mindless TV series, you can do better than Rush Hour.

But it's fine.

If you can get past the fact that it's not Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, then you would love this show .

I know many people can't let this go and may be turned off, it's pretty much a continuation of the Popular Franchise of the same name . It does not disappoint you get action, and Drama it's very well written . Justin hires does a good job as Detective Carter ,he could have easily been the Little brother of the Original. John Foo is Excellent as Detective Lee with all his Seriousness and fish out of water character.

If you want a Cop TV show that has a well balance of action and comedy then this is for you.

This show never happened. No review needed for something like this because it was really awful and unnecessary.

Saw one of the episodes. Could not stand it. The guy who plays carter- is something different- was he meant to make the character snobbish, annoying, elitist and a snowflake? Because then he is doing a good job. But what's even ironic is him looking at the camera and smiling in the poster and pointing 👉 a gun 🔫 in the opposite direction. What is that supposed to mean? It's a murder of a good film. Please discontinue.

I don't understand why people have such bad reviews of such an awesome show.

After so long I have seen a show that has literally made me laugh.

Truly deserves much better ratings. People shouldn't compare it to the movies as the show is good enough to stand up for itself.

Justin Hires character was really funny, goofy and enjoyable to watch. Reminding me of the good old days of comedy.

Jon Foo also played a good role making him fit in as quite the best cop duo in a TV show. BTW his action scenes are AWESOME!!

Definitely going to watch more!

DO NOT LET THE REVIEWS STOP YOU.

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.

They say that right now we are living in a golden age of television, with high quality shows like "Game of Thrones" freely available. However, you wouldn't know that just from THIS particular television series. Now, I was never a big fan of the three "Rush Hour" movies despite them having Jackie Chan as one of the stars. But any of them is much better than this show. From what I saw of the show, it has a weird 1980s-1990s vibe, from the production values to the simple- minded writing. And while I normally applaud when an American TV show casts an Asian in a prominent role (which doesn't happen very often), actor Jon Foo has none of the charisma Jackie Chan had. Also, his martial arts scenes are TERRIBLY choreographed, edited, and directed, which make me suspect Foo does not know martial arts at all. As for his co-star, I will admit that Justin Hires is not as annoying as Chris Tucker... but he is annoying all the same, and comes across more often as not as a stereotype. (As a matter of fact, Foo's humorless acting does the same for him as well.) I find it really hard to believe a show with such poor quality in its pilot alone got picked up by a network... though I won't be all that surprised if I soon hear that the show got cancelled.

Justin Hires: Funny, great performer. Jon Foo: Literally cannot do any martial arts. IMDb claims he is an "accomplished martial artist." He is NOT. He struggles to even throw a kick and not once did I actually see him actually complete a kick. He's very sluggish. He can't jump, can't punch and barely is able to act (directors' fault in my opinion--he just needs direction). They used a stunt double and not a very convincing one at that. He does have a passing resemblance to a very young Jackie Chan (who made maybe a 10 second cameo in the pilot) Now I mentioned Justin Hires is a great performer. Problem is he was given the exact same dialogue from the movie. He had nothing original to work with, sadly. Yet he still managed to make us laugh.

So I suggest that they dump Jon Foo, stop copying the movies scene for scene and do a proper reboot of the TV show. Actually, the Directors (both of them) should be fired as I believe Joh Foo has potential. They are the one responsible for making the decisions that will kill this show. There is zero doubt that this show is already dead. But if they reinvent it and start from scratch they may be able to accomplish something.

I did force myself to watch all of the 1st episode knowing the whole time that I was really wasting time & there is a lot more worthy things to spend my time on.

This TV series must be aimed at prepubescent boys who have not seen any of the Rush Hours movies.

Chris Tucker could really get on your nerves, but at least he did have some natural charm and he could act.

And Jackie Chan, well he is a real pro and has style & wit in what he does.

The actors playing Chris's & Jackie's parts in this TV farce have no style, charm, nor any real acting abilities to speak of(well not after watching the 1st episode; maybe it's just nerves at the start & they get a bit better). And don't get me onto the script........

With different TV series, there is sometimes talk of when they jump the shark; in my opinion Rush Hour the TV series jumped the shark with the very 1st episode!!

There is so much on TV that I don't understand how anyone would watch this instead of something else at the same time slot. If you want to know what garbage looks like on TV, this is the series good place to start.

Having seen the promo, I decided to check out the pilot even though though the preview wasn't too promising. Unfortunately, the pilot was in keeping with the preview.

When you have a buddy show, there needs to be rapport and chemistry between the characters. Gibson/Riggs and Glover/Murtaugh had it (Lethal Weapon) as did Waltz/Schulz and Foxx/Django (Django Unchained). By show's end, you cared for them and their relationship. While the Chan/Lee and Tucker/Carter interactions in Rush Hour were down a notch, the pair did bring humor, swagger, and presentation skill to the party. But then we get to Rush Hour, TV. It's difficult to say who owns the biggest share of the problem: the uninspired writers/director who provided little framework for a good show, the wooden (Foo) or annoying (Hires) actors, or a show based on the supposition that those of us who saw the movies could erase any memory of Chan and Tucker and replace them with the pale imitations provided. Where Chan is charismatic and his action scenes fast, believable (well, unbelievable but tremendously well choreographed), and fun, Foo comes across as stilted, fighting by the numbers, and for lack of a better word, blah. There's no excitement in his fights, his interactions with his sister were impersonal and nondescript considering the circumstances, and his dealings with Hires sounded like and had the emotional content of a straight script read. As for Hires, instead of Tucker's swagger, one got just a loud reading of a script. Part of the problem was he was given no good lines but somehow, the script writers and director believed his talking louder made the lines funny. A hint to these folks? It doesn't.

There are some shows where I believe mid-course corrections might save the ship. In this case, I think a collision with the iceberg in inevitable. Even if the writers could do a 180 degree turnaround with the scripts, neither Foo nor Hires demonstrated the acting ability to make me care for either them or their relationship or to forget about Chan and Tucker. 2/10 is pretty terrible but RH worked to achieve it. I believe the Good Ship Rush Hour is headed for a watery grave prior to season 2 and will be quickly forgotten.

I miss this good little TV show. It was at least as good at "MacGyver" and "Lethal Weapon", which get better promotion. Another good TV show canceled after only one season before it had a chance to catch on. It had action and humor and a good cast of characters who interacted well, with some good guest character actors and villains. I guess that it can't be bought or brought back. I liked the blue Chevy SS convertible and the attractive babes, although we have all seen some of the same Los Angeles street and warehouse scenes on our movie and TV screens. If I like a TV show, it seems to be the kiss of death from me. Not to whine, but I'm trying to peck out ten lines, so that I can submit this and then quit. No, I'm not screaming because "Rush Hour" lacked serious social significance and meaning with heavy messages, the crimes and criminals and police procedures being educational and entertaining.

Jonathan Lee (Jon Foo) is a no-nonsense kung fu fighting cop from Hong Kong. His sister Kim is eager to prove herself to him. She gets an assignment and assumed killed by a Chinese gang while guarding a transport to LA. Jonathan is partnered with fast-talking irreverent LAPD detective James Carter (Justin Hires) on the case. Kim reveals that she was actually part of the gang. Jonathan and James continue the team. Didi Diaz (Aimee Garcia) is a fellow detective. Gerald Page (Page Kennedy) is James' low-life criminal informant and cousin. Their boss Captain Lindsay Cole (Wendie Malick) discovers that Kim is actually working undercover to bring down the gang.

This show has 13 episodes and canceled after 7 although the writing was on the wall before the pilot aired. Copying from a movie has not been a terribly successful strategy. Justin Hires is a functional fast-talking black guy. He's essentially a lesser but workable copy. Jon Foo is a few step down. He is stiff and Jackie Chan is not stiff. That keeps the chemistry lackluster. Over time, they are able to build up to a functional TV police procedural with some minor chemistry. However, it runs out of time before it could find its feet.

"Rush Hour" is a thrilling blend of action and comedy that pairs the charismatic duo of Detective James Carter and Chief Inspector Lee as they navigate cultural clashes and high-stakes crime-solving. Season 1 introduces viewers to their dynamic partnership, showcasing their contrasting styles and hilarious banter while unraveling a captivating mystery. The chemistry between the leads is electric, making each episode a joy to watch. It's a shame there was only one season, as the potential for more adventures was immense. This series is a delightful homage to the beloved film franchise, leaving fans wanting more of this entertaining escapade.

Watching the first episode was like slowly tearing duck-tape off an open wound. Lazy writing and sloppy acting combined to make this hot mess. Please stop recycling old material. The idea of watching the first episode and feeling like I am just watching a super low budget version of the first movie in the trilogy was lost on me. Could have maybe placed this after Lee and Carter met and placed this between the movies or even after the movies.I feel they could have taken the production money for this and put it to better use. This won't last past a single season. If you feel that you must watch this understand that you will be disappointed in it.

I always wanted a new Rush Hour movie after part 3 but this show has exceeded my expectations. At first when I herd about it I thought it was silly. Then I tuned in and saw the first two episodes and realized how good the show is. The Action scenes are like a Hollywood movie production, super bad-ass! The story lines are very entertaining and make you wanna watch more. This show is different than your usual old cop show with new twists and turns. Super fun characters, they really bring Lee and Carter too life! It is great too see them in action. An excellent show, top ratings from me and I hope to see a lot more in the future.

Keep it up!!!!

An hour of my time that will never be seen again. I liked the films and think that set the expectation of what people would expect for the show however the quality is no where as good.

Horrible fight scenes. I've seen better camera work and script writing from high school productions.

The writers tried to make the same jokes, scenes etc as the film and failed miserably.

I've only seen the pilot so far and based on what has been shown so far Ill be very surprised if this makes it to even season 2 if it even gets that far.

I definitely will not be one adding to the viewing figures.

The series is fine however it's missing the comedy factor that made the original films so great. The characters are played well however, Lee needs to be a little more extreme in his actions and a little less formal in the series. carter needs to be more annoying and over the top. In the film carter is a little naive. He even shoots and blows a car up then starts dancing about it, which is over the top. That's the sort of way the new carter needs to behave.

My husband and I are watching Rush Hour TV series for the first time and I have to say Carter and Lee's character we are not feeling it. It appears Carter's character is trying too hard to be funny and he is not, Lee's character needs work or someone else should play his role, in the fighting sense of this episode Lee is fighting a big black guy and he is getting his butt kicked without any effort of fighting back, now the Lee I know from the Ruch Hour movies whom every Lee fought he did a lot of fancy foot work, flips, karate chops and more, he was not going down without putting up a great fight. This show have the potential to be good if the company makes a lot of changes.

It's sure terrible. They could've chosen someone more Asian-looking instead of grabbing Sasha Collins's twin. Third-rate camera work(Lee's fights will make the weak in the stomach puke), OVERLY loud music, that should've been ambient. Lee's acting like a piece of furniture, standing there straight with a poker face. Which is fine for Collins/Castiel, but not for a living person. Foolish jokes, veeery shallow ones, lower-than-a-slapstick-level ones, will make you yawn, and lack of adhesion between partners will make you turn it off. My Advice: watch some Martial Law, Rush Hour 1/2 movies, don't waste your time on this piece.

I don't get why people hate this show so much it's actually quite good. I have struggled to find a buddy cop comedy TV series and when I found out that they were making a Rush Hour TV series i was very excited. I've watched the first 4 episodes and to be honest i have laughed a considerable amount of times but script can be improved, Lee- Carter partnership needs to be more developed and probably my main complaint is tone down the racial stereotypes. Every episode they insult Lee by calling him Korean or calling him Bruce Lee its not funny. One racial joke is fine two at the most but making it your main punchline is not acceptable. All in all don't make so many racial quips make some more interesting cases instead of the same bomber/mass murderer thing and if this happens in the next few episodes, i will be really happy
