There seems to be no holding back the excellent "Warrior. [This martial arts action drama, based on an original concept by the late Bruce Lee, was cancelled twice: by Cinemax in 2020 and by Max after the third season in 2023. However, the drama has been revived several times. After leaving the Warner Bros. Discovery-led streaming platform, "Warrior" moved to Netflix. The first season of [Warrior] topped Netflix's English-language television chart in just one week of availability. Since its debut, the show has been viewed nearly 2 million times and logged just over 14 million hours of viewing time, gaining new fans.

Not only is Netflix doing well in its new home, it is thriving. And that could mean big things for its future. If "Warrior" continues to be as successful as it is now, perhaps Netflix can be persuaded to give it another shot at a fourth season, as fans have been asking.

There is little for action fans not to like about this critically acclaimed series. With a 93% rating for the first season and a 100% rating for the second season on Rotten Tomatoes, "Warrior" has clearly struck a chord with critics and audiences alike. The story of "[Warrior]" was developed more than 50 years ago by legendary Hong Kong-American martial arts master and actor Bruce Lee. He peddled an eight-page proposal for a TV show featuring a Chinese immigrant with martial arts skills, but it was never produced, until 2015, when his daughter Shannon Lee teamed up with filmmaker Justin Lin to develop the series for Cinemax.

Set in 1870s San Francisco, Warrior follows martial artist Ah Sahm (Andrew Cage) as he travels from China to find his sister Xiao Jing (Diane Duan), who moved to the city years ago. He ends up being sold to the Tongs (a secret organization made up of Chinese immigrants), the most powerful group in Chinatown.

It is not all action. To be sure, "Warrior" contains plenty of fight scenes that will make any martial arts fan froth at the mouth. However, the drama also depicts character development, so it is not just about watching "a guy" fight his way through a series of epic action sequences. We want to know why, how, and who is who.

That is why the show's cancellation makes little sense. It seems more like a series of unfortunate events. Warrior was originally cancelled when Cinemax announced that it would no longer be producing original content. The show was then moved to Max in 2021, but it received no publicity or buzz, leading to its second cancellation.

However, with its newfound success on Netflix, a fourth season of the series may be in the works. Nothing is set in stone yet, but judging by the enthusiasm from dedicated fans and the rise in numbers since "Warrior" began streaming, it is very likely that Ah Thaam will rise again.

"Warrior" had trouble attracting fans (at least when it aired on Cinemax and Max), but had no problem garnering positive reviews.

Micah Peters of The Ringer called it "a deliriously good time," Maureen Ryan of IGN Movies called it "efficient, energetic, and fun," and Alison Foreman of Mashable "a triumph in almost every sense of the word."

Season 2 is "a real winner.

Season 2 was more universally loved, with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Warrior" is a real joy to watch. The martial arts sequences are bloody, complex, and outstanding, and the dialogue seems to have stepped out of a dark graphic novel," wrote Vox's Karen Turner. [If "Peaky Blinders" were racially diverse and half of the characters could make you spin around and kick them in the face, ...... The atmosphere is.
