It's a new sitcom on ABC loosely based on the childhood of celeb chef Eddie Huang. I really, really wanted to like this show, as we so badly need more Asians on American tv, but I was disappointed.
The mom's accent was terrible and I get that it's supposed to be funny, but it wasn't even consistent. I can't do a Chinese accent to save my life, but I have friends who can and it's hilarious. And while that actress is pretty, she doesn't look like she's in the 90's era at all.
Also, and I know I'm being picky, but to me, actor Randall Park is so obviously Korean and not Taiwanese/ Chinese but I guess most non-Asians don't know the difference.
Oh and I liked the lunch scene, but let's be real, Asian moms would never pack us lunch in new brown paper bags every day! So wasteful! Haha!
The highlight of the show to me was the little boy who plays Eddie. He is so cute and a good little actor.
What I find fascinating is that Eddie Huang himself is disappointed with the show and has not been afraid to speak out about it!
