    This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

    Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

    Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

    Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

    Ill admit 5 seconds in I was almost offended but immediately it laid into jokes not about racial caricatures but about family and life for korean-americans. Theres a charming honesty to it that begs me to believe the players are real. There's a part in the first episode where the mr kims inquires as to why a drag queen chooses to live the way they do and its not funny. I mean theres no any joke. The whole scene has warmth. They pick and choose where to make us laugh and theres no laugh track thank god. Im hooked.

    Binge watched the first two seasons on Netflix. Very much entertained. The cast in its entirety captured funny, warm and likable characters. Funny. I am not Asian, Irish-Scot hillbilly, I did enjoy this production.

    This show is funny but it is not the kind of funny that makes you laugh all the way throughout an episode. It does not have intensive jokes but it is really enjoyable and relaxing to watch. I think the reason why I find it great is partially because I am an Asian person living in Toronto. There are just many things that I can resonate with. The old-fashioned parents with strong accent (sometimes even sexist), the way we value our culture, how we interact with our family and friends and of course the setting of the city of Toronto are all the things that I love about the show. However, the biggest reason why I gave it a 10 out of 10 is as Asians living in Canadian society we do not get fairly represented on the Media. This show along with Fresh Off the Boat shade lights on our lives. The very existence of these shows is magnificent. For decades, there have only been very limited representation about Asian people in the US and Canada. And media representation is such an important thing when it comes to racism. Our image circulated on the media heavily affects people's beauty standards. Asian women have been fetishized and Asian men have been seen as effeminate and not sexy. It also too often feeds into stereotypes. The show does not talk much about racism like Fresh off the Boat per se. But the way it tells stories challenges stereotypes and racism by itself. Because this time we are not just Han in Two Broken Girls, we are not Jian Yang in Silicone Valley, we are no longer a token with so many obnoxious stereotypes in our personality. We are people with multi-dimensional personalities, and most of all we are lovely.
