This was a show that my dad and I used to watch when I was a teenager. Every time I watch it I feel like I'm home with my dad. We are not Asian, but my dad is "fresh off the boat" and the general fish out of water through line rang true for him and as the daughter of a proud immigrant I related to Eddie, Emery, and Evan.
Now that that is out of the way, I want to talk about this show.
To start off, I just want to say that everything about this show works, the script, the cast, the on screen chemistry, every single thing is done so well. From the relate-ability that i have to the kids, to the way that they approach serious topics in regards to love, race, culture, micro and macro aggressions, and life in general.
I laugh at least once every episode. This show is so funny, and the cast is so talented. Casting actual children can be so risky, for me a lot of the time child actors will make or break the show/ movie and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the children are just as talented as the adults. I believe every relationship/friendship in this show.
If you are looking for something that will make you smile, cheer you up, keep you thinking, and also keep your attention because of it's unique perspective and fantastic jokes, then PLEASE watch this show.
