“Wu Assassins” (2019) is an action-packed series that blends martial arts with supernatural elements, set in the vibrant and gritty streets of modern-day San Francisco. The story centers around Kai Jin, a skilled chef played by Iko Uwais, who unexpectedly finds himself thrust into a mystical battle that has been waged for centuries.

Kai, who leads a seemingly ordinary life, discovers that he is the last of the Wu Assassins, a lineage of warriors tasked with protecting the world from ancient and dangerous supernatural forces. When his mentor is killed by a powerful and malevolent entity, Kai is forced to take up the mantle and fight against a group of criminals who are seeking to harness the powers of the Wu for their own dark purposes.

As Kai delves deeper into this hidden world, he learns about the four ancient Wu powers that his enemies are trying to control: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each power is linked to a specific criminal, each possessing extraordinary abilities that make them formidable opponents. The series explores Kai’s journey as he trains to master these powers and confront his adversaries.

Kai’s struggle is not just physical but also emotional and personal. He has to balance his duties as the Wu Assassin with his relationships with friends and family, including his close friend and confidant, Lu Xin Lee, and his own complex family dynamics. As Kai battles these supernatural threats, he also uncovers deeper conspiracies that challenge his understanding of his destiny and the true nature of the Wu Assassins.
