I’m a 1.5 generation Filipino immigrant — I left the Philippines at 9 years old and grew up in the United States.

The Brothers Sun: Must-Watch on Netflix

Watch: The Brothers Sun | Official Trailer | Netflix I highly recommend this Netflix series. You know Michelle Yeoh -- she's great. But she has a great cast around her, and the plot is awesome. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and everything in between. Blood runs in the family. When the head of a powerful Taiwanese triad is shot by a mysterious assassin, his eldest son, Charles (Justin Chien) heads to Los Angeles to protect his mother, Eileen (Michelle Yeoh), and his naive younger brother, Bruce (Sam Song Li) — who’s been completely sheltered from the truth of his family until now. But as Taipei’s deadliest societies and a new rising faction go head-to-head for dominance — Charles and Bruce must figure out what brotherhood and family truly means before someone takes them out. Streaming only on Netflix January 4th, 2024. The Brothers Sun is an American action comedy drama television series created by Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu for Netflix. It premiered on January 4, 2024. ...
