Featured review
I won't waste your time with acting like I'm a famous critic. It's about a chinese family of 6 moving to orlando Florida to start a new life in 1995. Every character has a unique quality that make the show hilariously funny except for one. There is a deadening villain in this show that makes you angry the entire time. Yes, the mother, Jessica is a narcissistic, sociopathic, arrogant, rude woman with a God complex who ruins not only the show but her family's lives throughout every episode. Almost every episode is some way for the rest of family to overcome the mothers monstrous ways. She is not funny, has no sense of humor, no sympathy, empathy, or kindness in her body. If the writers truly wrote her character that way they made a terrible mistake. She is profiled as the typical angry chinese woman who hates white people and thinks she is superior over every race, color and creed and machs any political or religious views that aren't her own. Point blank, she ruin the show. If not for Randal Park and the rest of them this show would flop. They carry it enough for the show to be very funny and enjoyable. You still have to live with the foul aftertaste of Jessica after every episode but it's worth it. I have never hated a comedy show character more than her because she is not there for comedy, she is the villain and there to ruin it, not add to it. So suck it up, look past the horrible idea ro make the mother the character she is and enjoy the rest of it..Forget it, i cant even watch season 6, no mother is that horrid & no kid is that stupid. Was able to stomach the mom with the other characters but not now, they just stopped trying.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the life of Asian-American restaurateur, chef, food personality, and former lawyer Eddie Huang. He serves as the show's narrator in the first season.
- GoofsThe characters make many references to visiting Jack In the Box, an American fast food chain. Whilst a handful of Jack In The Box outlets were in Florida in the 1970s, they were all closed down by 1980 and didn't return until the 2020s. Jack In The Box is very popular in California, where the show is filmed, and writers made the decision to ignore the anachronism in favor of fulfilling a paid product placement.
