The recent successes over the years with animated action adventure shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack On Titan and The Legend Of Korra are certainly lending some credence to the notion that a bit of live-action fanfare is in order, especially with everything that has been happening online with shows like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.
In a grounded, contemporary multicultural and sometimes magical milieu, a damaged heroine works undercover with physical and spiritual guidance from a mysterious martial arts master to bring down an international crime lord.
Not too long ago, we had shows like Buffy, Nikita, and short-lived action dramas like UPN’s Freedom and Russell Wong starrers Vanishing Son and Black Sash, so it’s certainly refreshing to see a new martial arts series in developement in among others, especially in an age where comic book superheroes adaptations are the in-thing. Actor/producer Daniel Wu’s upcoming appearance Badlands is still on deck for AMC as well, and with any luck, popular online concepts like Epic Rival’s own Clandestine will finally bear the fruits of network priority following such a long and on-going process as well.
