Based on the life of Eddie Huang during the mid-to-late 1990s, an Asian-American family decides to move to Orlando, Florida from Washington D.C. in order to embrace the "American Dream" by creating a steak restaurant. However, the family begins overcome many obstacles as they try to assimilate with the new culture that surrounds them.
Fresh Off the Boat is a new, innovative fish-out-of-water comedy that features an Asian American family. It highlights some of the common issues of assimilation without exploiting or demeaning the Asian American experience. Eddie Huang's story, brought to life by the brilliant Nahnatchka Khan, is a refreshingly delightful addition to the spark of new diversity in Hollywood that hopefully will burn brighter and brighter throughout the entertainment industry. The story is fun, engaging and smart. The relationship are honest, multi-layered and full of heart. The performances are superb. I see many awards in the future, especially for Hudson Yang, Randall Park and Constance Wu.
