A series not appreciated enough

In The Sun Brothersthe legendary killer Charles Sun goes to Los Angeles to protect his mother, Eileen, and Bruce, his naive little brother from whom the family has always hidden his true activities, after their father, boss of a powerful triad in Taiwan, was shot.

The first season of the series, consisting of eight episodes, mixed action comedy and family drama and starred Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien and Sam Song Li.

The series, created by Brad Falchuk (Glee, American Horror Story) and Byron Wu, spent five weeks in the Top 10 of the most viewed English-speaking series on Netflix, but did not manage to find a large enough audience to convince the platform to continue the adventures of the Sun.
