Wow, another amazing Australian show my fellow Americans will probably never hear about (Maximum Choppage anyone?) - hilarious look at college from the viewpoint of an Asian character with all the best stereotypes from our days in college - the crazy studious ones, the nerds, the partyer, etc. Some killer dialogue/lines (remember to roll it all the way down the shaft!), I really hope this show gets multiple seasons so we can enjoy Ronny's epic adventures in law school. Now I'm off to reverse engineer some cold tablets, see you soon!
I had watched about 7 episodes or more and then there wasn't any more( on Youtube). I watched about half an episode last week and wasn't into it. Last night I watched all the episodes( I guess) and really enjoyed it. I really liked the episode where the American guy comes to stay in their dorm. These angsty teenage Ozzy shows are my faves I wish there were more seasons. Before this I found a similar funny but American show( done so Australian) Dorm life ( with like 7-10 min episodes) that I really liked. I'll go back to that tonight. Any ways overall I really quite liked this,.
As a half Malaysian myself, I can say that Ronnie clearly is the typical stereotype which bodes well with the comedic aspect of this show surrounding university life. He reminds me of Donald Duck, always annoyed and easily triggered by something. I don't think I ever saw him smile or laugh in all 7 episodes of the first season, I mean let's face it, in reality no one is ever going to want to hang out with someone who is quite the overly opinionated, mood dampener. The writing and comedic gags are clever. Ronnie's on screen mom is brilliant. Great acting and interesting storylines. Elvin steals the show bahaha.
Smile Ronnie...life ain't so bad [^_^]

I can't tell you how much I love this show. Originally filmed as a single pilot episode in 2016, ABC showed this as part of its Comedy Showroom. Six pilots, one winner - and viewers got to vote on what became a full series. I'm so glad Ronny Chieng: International Student made it.
There are a heap of things I love about this: + shot in Melbourne, showcasing Melbourne Uni. I love seeing Melbourne represented raw on television. It's not dressed up and air-brushed, it's a university campus, warts and all. + yeah, some of the characters are stereotypes, we all knew that guy who was about forty but was still studying (why?). But it's an accurate part of uni life. + the comedy is on point, and topical. + cheaply made, but well polished.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this back in 2016, and I look forward to more episodes.

Really enjoyable and often funny take of life on Australian University campus. The season focuses on Semester One. Sadly there is no further semesters. But it is still watchable treat for the seven episode available.
