Warrior is everything you could want in a TV show. From the stellar cast to the vivid setting to the breakneck action, it is a perfectly bingeable roller coaster of drama and excitement.
There is much to savour in Warrior. The action is overly graphic at times, but the martial arts sequences are memorably scrappy and naturalistic - bones crunch and viscera squishes. Warrior is a good time, satisfying anyone who appreciates intricate fight choreography that emphasizes the physicality of its actors.
With its jaw-dropping action sequences and shocking twists and turns, it's not surprising that Warrior has captured viewers' attention since its arrival on Netflix last month. In the weeks since, the drama shot onto the Top 10 lists in as many as 38 countries, including the US.

The MMA action is bone-jarring and brutal and you can feel each punch and kick. But at it's core this is a brilliant and heartfelt character study brought to life by some strong acting and a rock solid script. The journey the characters take to get there sucks you in and melts the inherent predictability away.

It is revealed that Tommy is still angry at Brendan for staying behind for Tess when Tommy and their mother left Paddy; Tommy was left to care for their mother when she became terminally ill.
Tommy's father wasn't good for much except for drinking and coaching. Under his alcoholic tutelage, Tommy bloomed into an undefeated wrestling sensation. However, Tommy fled with his mother away from his abusive father when he was a teenager.
In Warrior, Tommy hated Brendan for leaving him with a drunk dad in Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte). Brendan departed to start a family, leaving Tommy to take care of their dying mom in addition to enduring abuse from their dad.
At its core, however, Warrior is more a story of sacrifice and the struggle for redemption than it is knockouts and omoplatas. Drawn apart by alcohol, abuse, sickness and distance, the Conlon family relationship is about as strained as can possibly be.
The Warrior stars Ram Pothineni (playing the role of Sathya) and Krithi Shetty (Mahalakshmi) in the lead roles while actor Aadhi Pinisetty (Guru) plays the antagonist.
