Anyone else watching it? Set in 1995 and maybe it's the nostalgia but I like it. Here's the synopsis.

quote:

The story follows the story of Eddie Huang's Taiwanese family as they make their way from Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida to open up a steak restaurant during the mid-to-late 1990s (with the first season being set between 1995 and 1997).[10][11] The mother struggles with culture clash of having to move from D.C. to Orlando,[12] the father embraces the "American Dream", and Eddie and his brothers struggle with assimilating into the school.

I heard that the guy it's supposed to be about wasn't pleased with it.

I read that the main actor got all mad because a reporter was being racist when she asked if they were going to eat with Chopsticks.
The name of the fricking show is Fresh Off The Boat, the whole premise is racist

That's not what racist means. Stereotyping maybe.

They made fun of all races on his show. He should get over it.

So this is the goldbergs but in the 90s with Asians and a bunch of racial humor? Naw. I see they got Kim Jung from The Interview as the dad.
