Featured review
These TV series are very watchable, rewatchable and perfect as a background watch when you do something else. Many characters have undeniable charisma, relatable and the story line is rather lighthearted instilling the right values. It's also, in a way, generation X's nostalgic porn.
What didn't work for me:
What didn't work for me:
- the family cast is rather mismatched visually, they didn't look as of the same ethnicity to me
- Louis's character is very cardboard like and lacks depth.
- They often forgot to balance Jessica's character, sacrificing showcasing the traits her family loves her for -all for the sake of comedy relief attached to her pushiness and other rather negative traits.
- I lived as a foreigner in a southern US town and it's already difficult to integrate even if you are a crowd pleaser. And though I am white and my town was mostly very lovely, I still experienced xenophobia, at least, once per month. With Jessica's character forget about it...I think the whole integration issue was super sugarcoated.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the life of Asian-American restaurateur, chef, food personality, and former lawyer Eddie Huang. He serves as the show's narrator in the first season.
- GoofsThe characters make many references to visiting Jack In the Box, an American fast food chain. Whilst a handful of Jack In The Box outlets were in Florida in the 1970s, they were all closed down by 1980 and didn't return until the 2020s. Jack In The Box is very popular in California, where the show is filmed, and writers made the decision to ignore the anachronism in favor of fulfilling a paid product placement.
