For our first Good Pop of the new year, we check out the new Asian American action dramedy The Brothers Sun, starring MIchelle Yeoh as the matriarch of a Taiwanese triad living in hiding in the SGV with her younger son who has no idea he's in a crime family. Their lives are thrown into chaos when her eldest son arrives in town to protect the family from rival gangs. It feels like we've been waiting forever for an Asian American show set in the SGV, but does The Brothers Sun make it as good pop?
