SEASON SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

When a quarter-life crisis causes Nicky Shen (OLIVIA LIANG) to drop out of college, she goes on a life-changing journey to an isolated monastery in China. For three years, guided by a mentor, Nicky immerses herself in the tenets of Shaolin kung fu. Upon returning to San Francisco, she finds her hometown overrun with corruption and her parents’ business threatened. With her martial arts training and help from her sister, Althea (SHANNON DANG); brother, Ryan (JON PRASIDA); ex-boyfriend, Evan (GAVIN STENHOUSE); and new love interest, Henry, Nicky is determined to protect her community and bring the criminals to justice…all while she seeks to unravel the mystery of eight mystical weapons that led to the murder of her mentor, Pei-Ling.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Kung Fu: The Complete First Season<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 2.00 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer as presumably original televised on The CW. Nothing spectacular here but looks fairly good with sharp detail and colors appear to be well balanced and no apparent bouts of aliasing or artifacting.<\/p>\n

Each episode comes with a satisfactory DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which outputs clear dialogue levels via the center channel and there is some modest depth from the rear channels. Like the picture, it\u2019s not exactly awe-inspiring but I would assume on par with how it sounded as it aired.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
