TV: Fresh Off the Boat
Le Eco’s latest streaming exclusive brings the first American sitcom to star an Asian-American family in 21 years to the Mainland. Based on celebrity chef Eddie Huang’s biography (although he’s since stopped being involved on the show), Fresh Off the Boat has been a critic’s favorite thanks to its spin on family sitcom tropes and its loving look at a big-city family settling in suburban Orlando during the mid-90s. Streamable at Le Eco, with first season episodes released every week.
