Each of the trilogy comes with about 40 1 hour volumes or so. It's kind of obscure to western audiences. Fight scenes are in the style of Crouching Tiger, but it's more of the story that is the best part of the trilogy.
I think you are referring to the TVB series. Felix Wong Yat-wah at the height of his popularity/stardom. They were based on classic Chinese novels written by Louis Cha. Legend of the Condor Heroes is easily in the All-Time Top 5 most beloved TVB series, iirc, Looking Back in Anger is #1. Almost all TV has some sort of 'wire-fu'.
