Michelle Yeoh Shines in 'The Brothers Sun,' Netflix's Martial Arts Crime Dramedy
"The Brothers Sun," a Netflix action-comedy series, fails to capitalize on its comedic potential, according to IGN's review. Despite a promising start with humorous odd-couple dynamics between the gangster and medical student brothers, the show gets bogged down by unnecessary drama and triad politics. Michelle Yeoh's performance as the mother is a highlight, but the series ultimately suffers from a lack of character development and a shift away from comedy towards a less convincing dramatic tone. The show's attempt to address themes like familial expectation and the allure of criminality is overshadowed by its tonal inconsistencies and a plot that prioritizes reveals over character interaction.
