But after their criminal mastermind father was almost killed, Charles moved to LA to protect his family.

In a further twist, Bruce learns his mother moved to California to start a new life away from her estranged family and to protect her sun.

But her attempts were futile and Bruce has to adapt to his family's gangster lifestyle.

Fans of the series have heaped praise on Brothers Sun with one reviewing it: "This show was an unexpected find and complete tour de force.

"If you enjoy intense family drama with Shakespearean overtones and all the feels, laugh-aloud comedic moments, amazing martial arts fighting sequences, a highly talented and diverse cast who inhabits all the characters, be it main or secondary, and a feel-good ending, I highly recommend this series!"

Another added: "It completely took me by surprise. Brother's Sun is an amazing web series that I thoroughly enjoyed. I want to share my appreciation without giving away any spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet.

"The unpredictable twists and turns were fantastic, and Mama being the information bank and mastermind added a great dimension. Both sons being brave and smart showcased a refreshing sibling bond, which I haven't seen in a drama for a while.

"The casting was brilliant, and kudos to all the actors for playing their roles so well."

A third continued: "Best show in a long time …. With comedy and action it’s amazing. The fighting is one of the best I have watched in a couple years.

"This show has a little bit of everything crime, action, romance, with a twist of comedy which makes it all around the best show in a long time. They covered everything we need this show to come back for another season."

Unfortunately for fans, it was revealed there wouldn't be another series as it was cancelled by Netflix.
