Unfortunately, I discovered this gem when it is already in Season three. Fortunately for me, however, that means I have three whole seasons of good TV to watch. I am currently in the middle of the first one.
‘Fresh Off the Boat’ details the life of a young Asian-American family who moves to a new town in the States to pursue the dad’s dream of working in his own shop, instead of in his brother-in-law’s.
But moving across a country might not be such a great idea as there is no plan in place, and his hip-hop headed child has to deal with not fitting in in school, not having anyone to talk to who actually like Biggie, navigating puberty, two younger brothers and a protective mother who won’t let him prosper.
What’s a kid to do? Store up the experiences, apparently, and then turn it into a book to be made into a series when he grows older, which is exactly what Eddie Huang did. Thanks, Eddie!
