What is The Brothers Sun on Netflix about?
Netflix is about to unleash a wild new crime comedy series with The Brothers Sun. Find out more about this fantastic Asian-American-led crime series here!
For years, Bruce Sun has been a typical Californian Asian-American, attending college with no real worries besides rent and where to get his next job. He’s a bit surprised at the arrival of his long-distant older brother Charles, who he hasn’t seen since they were kids.
When they’re attacked by gunmen, Bruce discovers the truth: His family is one of the most powerful criminal gangs in Taiwan, with Charles raised to be a ruthless assassin. His mother, Eileen, took him to the U.S. in hopes he could escape that life. But now, as a gang war builds, Bruce is going to have to adapt to life as a gangster, with Charles as his unlikely guide. However, both men realize their mother may be more merciless than either could imagine.
What to expect in The Brothers Sun
"“The life of average Californian Bruce Sun turned upside down once his older brother, Charles Sun visits Los Angeles, California from Taipei, Taiwan. Having no recollection of his past in Taipei, Bruce would soon learn about his families’ profession as Taipei renowned gangster with his brother being a hardened criminal raised by his late crime boss father. Having his father assassinated, Charles had to move to LA to keep his family safe. Additionally, he would find out that his mother moved with him to California in order to build a life away from her estranged family. However, his mother’s effort proved to be futile as now Bruce had to adapt to the gangster life of his family.”"
