Huang's World

I watched four episodes of this show: Taiwan, China, Orlando, & Jamaica.

Let me just start by saying that I love Fresh Off the Boat... Which is why I sat through four episodes of watching Eddie Huang process his emotions like a 5 year old child would. He cannot control his emotions, and watching his mini meltdowns was honestly pretty painful at points.

I am very passionate about food (Asian food in particular), so I was really excited to watch this. I'm pretty bummed that this was more of a self indulgent exposé on Eddie Huang's confused views on humanity, and his existence as an American. Had this stuck more to food and culture, and less to Eddie Huang's internal hang ups, I would have probably loved this show. I'd love to see his parents host a similar show, as they were (personality-wise) the highlight of this show for me.

I'm still trying to figure out what this show is exactly about. There are 100s of better shows than this with way more content which should have the "VICE" stamp. I gave an extra star just because of the post-editing.

Eddie Huang was very unprofessional, offensive and disrespectful in many episodes, especially when he was singing the God Bless America from a piece of paper, and he was literally laughing during the song. I'm not American, but it is unacceptable in any country.

Why is he called a cultural critic??? Please, give me a break!

I never read books, but love Eddies book " Double Cup Love" and I naturally love his show as well. As a white Canadian/ Norwegian Jew who's a extremely picky eater I really have nothing in common with Eddie besides a strong love for a NBA team mine being The Houston Rockets and his being the Knick's. So your probably wondering why I like Eddie Huang so much! The answer is extremely simple Eddie is always trying to be himself and remains unfiltered in a filtered time. Because of this I find watching him extremely enjoyable! I can also just sense he's a good guy.

I LOVE the "Fresh off the Boat" Series and really like seeing more Asian representation in media. And while we are pretty saturated with "Around the world" cuisine shows, I really thought this would have a unique quality. But Eddie really comes off as too immature and shallow; as if this entire series were geared towards his West Coast elitist friends who need some diversity points. Farting and talking about toilet topics in every episode doesn't endear us to him, so much as make him look like someone who doesn't realize what to leave out in a show about world cultures and cuisines. I seriously hope this gets better and "polishes up", since I really like hearing "real talk" from the people in places I'll probably never see in my lifetime.

Huang's World is an honest show that illuminates the interconnectedness among everyone's diaspora within the global mosaic. He asks the uncomfortable questions, & professionally responds to the uncomfortable answers. I dont know if he meant to give global glimpses of everything humanity has in common- but that's what i took from it. Btw.. great cooking/eating show segments as well.
