Warrior - US Pace - Cinemax (**Spoilers**)

Agent Coulson

I knew they would never be able to finish it so many stories on going there is a couple of more seasons to be made from this.

Going to miss Cinemax fight scenes.

Slydice

Finished! Second season built well on the first. Harsh that it's over. The makers obviously had a shed ton more story to get through.

2.10: DAMMMMNNNN! That

fight with Leary was brutal! Felt like when Leary broke his hand it was over. Damn though when he made a fist with it and tried anyway. Ouch! At the very start I thought it was just Ah Sahm just giving up because of Mai Ling giving away about him being the brother.

That bit when Mai Ling did it and then the contrast with the face on Hong eating the dumplings was hilarious!

I guess Father Jun's goodbye is the closest the show will get.

That was a well done scene too.

Future
I wonder what the future is then. Banshee and Warrior had Jonathan Tropper as their executive producer and he wrote/co-wrote a bunch of their episodes and first episodes. I'm guessing it was him driving it along:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Tropper
His wiki says

In 2020, Tropper took over as showrunner and executive producer of the Apple TV+ science fiction series See (2019–present), starring Jason Momoa, Alfre Woodard, and Dave Bautista

Though the imdb doesn't list him so maybe his influence won't be there in season 1:

Maybe he'll get to make something new in Apple. Not sure they'd go for Banshee/Warrior level content, would they?

Shame there wasn't s better ending, although we at least saw Leary and Ah Sahm fight. Lots of story left untold though

And just in case there weren't enough open stories, they even include the stinger between the title card and the credits.

Great series overall that deserved more recognition.

Paul Weller

Surely, surely someone else will pick this up and give it another 2-3 seasons...it is an absolute belter of a show & would be a ratings winner for any network imo

Full_Circle_81

Another really strong season with clearly lots of story left to tell. Why on earth didn't this just continue this as a HBO Max show?
Really going to miss all the characters. And as mentioned before, no one does fight scenes quite like Cinemax. Just wow.

cdgalwegian

Just finished season 2. Bruce Lee lives! (at least he does if it gets picked up for revival, which it darned well should).

greasepalm

I love it and watching the repeats.

sioda

Just finished this and really enjoyed it. Shame if another crowd don't pick it up but shooting in South Africa isn't going to be easy at the moment.

They seemed to have a good set up for season 3 as well.

Agent Coulson

Great news HBO Max have taken it on and renewed it for a 3rd season.

Is it bad that I'm glad they didn't get new roles after cancellation so they're all free for this?
Like I know I shouldn't hope for people to stay unemployed, but now they're all available to work on a season 3.

Seriously though, I thought at least 1 or 2 of the cast would get a role in Kung Fu.

Jesus...I watched most of the pilot of Kung Fu....it is absolute garbage, no redeeming qualities at all I thought

Very pleasantly surprised with this news. With Cinemax no longer doing original programming, I had assumed this was toast.

Its not often I get so invested in a TV show but Im absolutely delighted that this has been renewed. Cant honestly recall the last time a renewal got me so fired up

That is great news. The first 2 series got better as they went along, so this season could become must-see tv. Great fight sequences backed up by decent storylines:

Indeed: Yabadabbah. Multiple smackdowns and the promise of an ultimate smackdown.

Agent Coulson

Mark Dacascos joins the cast for season 3.

Oh cool! I totally missed the season 3 renewal posts! Great news! 🙂😁

Agent Coulson

So excited for this to return, but I can't remember anything now from the first two seasons, its been so long!

Agent Coulson

Season 3 trailer

Slydice

Awe yis! It's just like.. they just know how to make a trailer to cater to the Warrior audience.

Still probably a bit of mystery left for the series itself for some higher level of intense rivalry feeling and maybe exploring outside a bit again.

CastorTroy

Must find a recap.

Did they say if this is the final season, since they were brought back from cancellation?

Slydice

Can't say I've seen/heard either way. Could be they are living season to season based on audience/viewership.

Agent Coulson

Returns tonight in the States.

Agent Coulson

Really good opening 3 episodes and it hasn’t missed a beat in the two and half’s since season 2.

CastorTroy

Was worried for the young girl as seemed she would be killed at the end, but luckily it didn't happen. Guessing revenge will be on the agenda.

Slydice

3.1: Opening with an Axe fight! I'll take it! Though all those body parts! 😱

That one scene with Li Yong being filmed through the water, that was kinda cool. Got me thinking of Bruce Lee.

Spoiler Warning

So... Chinatown is being squeezed. The two factions look like they'll be going Expansion out and Central Bank of

Slydice

3.2: Felt like it focused on Leary and Lee..

Spoiler Warning

well apart from pushing along the main stories of the long zii moving out and the hop wei printing money.

leary enforcing his power with the young lads

and lee being setup for the $500 reward

Have started noticing Penelope being missing

CastorTroy

Of the storylines in the new season

Spoiler Warning

The Mai Ling story was my least favourite, so happy that got more interesting. I was expecting something to happen, like being scammed out of the money.
