Warrior Review

This episode of Warrior did a great job of exploring Richard Lee’s history. It wasn’t the most clever story ever. Still, it was at least decent. Ah Sahm saved his sister while risking his own life. Bolo was killed. Ah Toy bought a virgin. There is something mysterious about the girl. There is a good chance that she’ll be integral to the story at some point in the future.

Otherwise, I felt like a lot of the episode was just filler. The episodes are just over 40 minutes a piece. They could have a little more meaningful action and less filler. Nevertheless, the show is at least enjoyable just not as good as it could be. The episode scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Warrior on Reel Mockery.
