What a view by Stephen McCarty

Martial arts and courtship in Who Rules The World, Netflix wuxia series

  • You can’t have a martial arts epic without a love story to underpin all that action, can you? Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi play star-crossed fighters on Netflix
  • The wooing is more overt in season two of HBO’s Gentleman Jack, based on the life of a trailblazing lesbian landowner in northern England in the 19th century
