Season 1
Synopsis
Wu Assassins (2019), Season 1 is Netflix's martial-arts fantasy you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes that turn a San Francisco line cook into the last of a chosen bloodline.
Kai Jin would rather worry about his food truck than destiny. An ancient power has other plans and names him the Wu Assassin, charged with stripping five elemental fragments — fire, wood, earth, metal, water — from the people who wield them. His first target hits home: Uncle Six, the Chinatown Triad boss who raised him like a son. Across the season his childhood friends Jenny and Tommy, a detective called CG, and the wild-card Lu Xin are pulled into the fight, while a cold operator named McCullough hunts the same power.
Iko Uwais and his fight team from The Raid choreograph the action, and it shows — hand-to-hand shot in long takes instead of quick cuts. The mythology is mostly an excuse to brawl, but the brawls are the real thing. Stream Wu Assassins Season 1 online on iFILM.
