ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“(Will Yun)Lee’s Kovacs was a little more dashing, devil-may-care than Kinnaman’s, and his chemistry with Goldsberry gave this very dark show a shot of burning-love romance.” (Altered Carbon)
GIZMODO
“The original Takeshi Kovacs joins the rebellion (played by Falling Water’s Will Yun Lee in one of the show’s best performances)…”
…In the end, however, I just couldn’t get over the fact that (Will Yun) Lee turned in a better performance as Takeshi Kovacs, and the show never gave me a reason for having the character played by Kinnaman beyond it being from the book.”
VARIETY
“Will Yun Lee, who’s also terrific, joins the fray as the Kovacs who lived 250 years ago, and his grudges and aspirations lend the series a jolt of energizing pathos…The seventh episode, in which the shards of Kovacs’ (Lee) history are pieced together to form an involving mythology combining the personal and the technological, is one of the best of the season. “ (Altered Carbon, NETFLIX)
NEW YORK TIMES
“…’Thief’ has a moody tone, graphic violence and unexpected plot twists, but those elements are not all that distinguish the series. The characters stand out, including the Chinese hit man, Vincent (Will Yun Lee), who has a hard time keeping a lid on his insecurities and the occasional tremor in his gun hand.” (Thief, FX)
WASHINGTON POST
“Will Yun Lee is especially effective as Braugher’s chief adversary, although they don’t meet for a while yet. Lee’s Vincent is a respectable thief, a man with one foot in the underworld and the other in the overworld.” (Thief, FX)
“Probably the best performance is offered by Will Yun Lee, as the gentle, funny, together Jimmy Nguyen, who, you will be stunned to learn, appears in the Hispanic tale…” (What’s Cookin’, SUNDANCE)
LA TIMES
“Ethnic pals are nothing new, but “Torque” allows Lee a stereotype-smashing, easygoing sexual swagger…” (Warner Bros)
“As he was on FX’s “Thief”, Lee is a master of quietude here…” (Bionic Woman, Universal)
