Hey everyone, I managed to start watching Fresh off the Boat which is about a Taiwanese family who moves from DC to Florida from a relatively Asian community to a more westernised community. This shows is narrated by an eleven year old called Eddie who talks about his life when he was 11 in 1995.
The show portrays a lot of Asian stereotypical traits which you usually expect but I have to say that the show wasn't really what I expected just because the dad seems very Americanised and everyone has almost no Asian accent(but you can expect it because otherwise how could people understand). I find this show pretty funny though, especially because they use sort of racial jokes that I can relate to.
But yea sorry, not much I can say about this at the moment because I am currently up to episdoe 2 at the moment, but I have to say that it is good that they have finally released a Asian family TV show because when have you seen one released in America??
For now I'd have to give this a 7/10 but I'm hoping that it'll get a lot better. Well until next time, bye!
I've heard the show was pretty decent. But you're right that the family is fairly Americanized. I think it would be cool to have more Taiwanese culture being shown in the show because most Americans likely aren't too familiar with Taiwanese culture.
