I went the 'kung fu' route on Youtube from Chinese production companies. Turns out that most of the shows are tailored to the female audience because of the period conventions: flowery costumes, guys with long hair and traditional courting rituals.
Basically every show needs to appeal to the female audience in some form or the other. Took me a while to figure out why there wasn't more kung fu action. :') It was kind of wholesome, though, (no obscene sexual thing in sight) and learned a couple of Chinese expressions. At least, passively. And they definitely got the 'cliffhanger' ending down, but takes too much trouble to find something remotely watchable that doesn't also appeal to the BTS crowd.
My favourite Movie Studio Production Logo of all time is Golden Harvest's. Their films from the 1970/80's are the best examples of chinese martial arts films. And they did great comedy as well.

That's a lot of movies.
