    working out race relations

    I really see a progression in Wong Fu productions material, not just in technical aspects but in terms of storylines and themes. I think the romantic chemistry needs to be worked out a little more and it might not be the wokest of the bunch but it's starting at an accessible point and phil's honesty comes through as he's working through relationships and race issues. i mean when is the last series that you can remember where Asian and African Americans get real with each other, let alone are willing to try to have that dialogue?

    excruciatingly oblivious to its own self-referential "always play it safe"

    WongFu has always played it safe and this is no exception. I only started watching it because others were hyping it on the internet.

    It's the same old formula and there's no reason to change anything because they know their audience of teenyboppers. The "relationships" are paper thin soap opera tropes and about as melodramatic as some random girl/guy cry at some stupid misunderstanding but then will course correct and all is well.

    For all its recognition of playing it safe for Phil's character, it sure isn't aware of its own irony of playing the same thing as all other WongFu projects.
