Television Fresh off the boat

[LuGoJ]

Based on chef Eddie Huang's best-selling memoir of the same name, "Fresh Off the Boat" takes a humorous look at the lives of immigrants in America. In the 1990s, Eddie, a hip-hop-loving 11-year-old, relocates with his parents and two brothers to suburban Orlando from the Chinatown section of Washington, D.C. As Eddie's dad, Louis, pursues the American dream by opening a western-themed restaurant named Cattleman's Ranch Steakhouse, Eddie and the rest of the family try to acclimate to their new, strange surroundings.

Anyone been watching? I think it's been hilarious so far. Growing up I lived in chinatown and had a lot of asian friends so I spent much time at their houses. A lot of this brings me right back.

I watched the pilot.... felt like it was an Asian Everybody Hates Chris, with extra emphasis on how white people are all awkward douchebags.


I didn't like it much.
