New titles were added to Netflix at the beginning of January. The streaming giant recently expanded its library with, among other things, a new series – The Brothers Sun. The comedy-drama starring the Oscar-winning Michelle Yeoh, known for Everything Everywhere All at Once, is receiving good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The show received a positive rating from 96% of viewers and 79% of critics, so there's a good chance that fans of good entertainment will enjoy it.

The plot of The Brothers Sun revolves around an atypical family. Charles "Chairleg" Sun, a member of a powerful Taiwanese triad, travels to Los Angeles after his father falls victim to an assassination attempt. The boy needs to safeguard his mother and siblings, who have been oblivious to the truth about their family until now. The series depicts the connections between close relatives who will discover the true meaning of brotherhood and the significance of blood ties when faced with danger.

Critics acclaim the series' storyline centered around the family. They note that Michelle Yeoh is outstanding in the role of a conflicted mother, the acting is very good, and the show is somewhat reminiscent of FUBAR with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The stakes are high, the action scenes are excellently filmed, and the script is well-written, as is the humor. The series is recommended for binge-watching by reviewers, who say it will be enjoyed by fans of action comedies and martial arts enthusiasts. Here are some excerpts from the reviews:

The quality of dialogue and storytelling in The Brothers Sun, despite much fun and electricity, proves a drag on many of her co-stars. Ms. Yeoh, meanwhile, levitates – The Wall Street Journal.

The show has heart, kickass fighting sequences, and a healthy dose of drama [...]. Falchuk and Wu managed to create a unique and addictive action-comedy – Decider.

The Brothers Sun is brilliant. If you are a fan of action, comedy, drama, and Michelle Yeoh, you should definitely watch it all the way to the mid-credits sequence in the eighth episode. It has my whole-hearted and unabashed seal of approval – DMT.

The Brothers Sun has the perfect mix of comedy and drama. It’s a narrative about what’s expected, what can be endured and how much we are willing to give up so others can live out their dreams – Variety.

Going in with no particular expectations,The Brothers Sun comes as a pleasant surprise. Well-paced and featuring plenty of fun little subplots, it has enough heart – TV Guide.

You can watch The Sun Brothers series, co-created by Brad Falchuk, the creator of American Horror Story, on Netflix.
