I just finished the second episode and I am hooked. The characters are all very interesting. The main character is quite likable and all the role players are strong. The production value is great. The action is exciting. There isn't anything about this show that annoys me. It's very stylistic and pushes the story forward with a good brisk pace. The women on this show are HOT and it kinda makes me wish I lived in this world. PS - I've never been a big fan of martial arts stories but this show makes me want to watch a lot more of them.
**First off, disregard the few very low scores and comments. I read them all and they were basically all trolling comments and ratings **
That said, the show wasn't perfect in the first few scenes but it really pulled itself together and shaped up really well to end (2 seasons so far) with a strong ending and interesting cliffhangers! The 1st episode of season 1 was so so but every subsequent episode just got better and better! A very interesting story that comes from true history and needs more attention (especially now, when all the whitewashed chapters of our history are finally being told and told truthfully) & a really sharp martial arts action series. Unlike Into The Badlands which I couldn't get into because the choreography (although stunning) was unbelievable and the storyline was uninteresting, Warrior has way better writing and action that is more realistic (of course some is over the top but that's lthe point when it focuses on Ah-Sahms fights. He personifies Bruce Lee's larger than like persona) in many cases.
I'm really glad I found this series. I binged it all in 2 days. I'm eagerly awaiting and hoping that although Cinemax is no longer renewing its shows that HBO max which absorbed the properties renews this one as was promised and as many many fans are awaiting. I can't see why they wouldn't.
Can't recommend Warrior enough to martial arts & historical piece (the sets and costumes are excellent and fit the late 1800's perfectly!) lovers! 9/10!

Warrior is one of the best and most underrated shows of the last decade. It's hard for me to even describe how much I love this show. Everything from the acting to the writing to the production is fantastic! All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how loved this show really is. A lot of fans were worried when Cinemax announced they won't be making shows anymore but fortunately for us fans HBO Max picked it and season three is right around the corner. It was so deserving of another season, hopefully with HBO Max's platform and the great word of mouth that the fan base will continue to grow. I can't wait to see more of this incredible show!
One of the best shows I've ever seen. The story, the setting, the history, the characters, the cinematography, the ACTION...just...WOW! Everything is amazing, and it just gets better and better as the series moves along. The buildup is something else, and the second to last episode of season 2 needs to be seen to be believed! They BETTER not cancel this, and give us a third season! The story is still unresolved. In any case, go watch this right now if you haven't already!
The most underrated show. Good story, fantastic action, great acting and ultimate characters. Loved the show.
