▍原文

The original 1972 "Kung Fu" series, which starred David Carradine as a white Shaolin monk who roamed the Old West, was undeniably a product of its time. 

The CW's show, which is billed as a "re-imagining" of the original instead of a straight reboot, updates the setting to contemporary San Francisco, features a predominantly Asian cast, and boasts a more cohesive central narrative. 

The CW series makes little effort to subvert viewers' expectations or otherwise add a wrinkle to traditional martial arts/coming-of-age stories, but there's still fun to be had in the show's action sequences and lighthearted and upbeat tone.
