Max Almost Buried This Martial Arts Epic “Warrior”; Now It's Netflix's Biggest New Hit

Max was never able to capitalise on its many strengths.

After being canceled by Cinemax and now HBO Max, the martial arts drama that creator Jonathan Tropper says "refuses to die" is now available on Netflix. Set during the Tong Wars in late 19th century America, the show follows Ah Sahm (played by Andrew Koji), a martial arts prodigy who arrives in the US from China. Like Boardwalk Empire, Warrior uses artistic license to create a cohesive show, but the gritty reality of the turbulent and violent times it tries to portray feels authentic.
