In this episode Jessica is worried the family is becoming too Americanized and forgetting their roots, and I'm in full support of that. However she gradually starts going off and glazing China, and what pisses me off is isn't it established that she and Louise are Taiwanese? If they were from mainland China I'd completely understand, but don't the writers know that Taiwanese people are seperate from China?
Side note, it also ticks me off that Louise has bad chinese pronunciation.
I must be an idiot for not understanding or the shows writers just hate Eddie. I just finished Season 2, Episode 12, and why did he get terrible seats? Even though he was promised VIP, by the Music preformers, they just gave him incredibley teribble seats.
Hello I’ve been watching Season 5 of the show and I slept on a few episodes. What episode is this that I’ve missed? I tried gling back and forth Season 5 but can’t seem to fin this one particulary. Huhu help!
lmk if its illegal website i dont have money to subscribe ☠️💀
When was anyone going to tell me that PREITY ZINTA, the gorgeous Preity Zinta starred on the show! Oh Vir Das too!!!!
I just finished S3 ep13 no spoilers for after please and It was revolved around the whole neighbourhood watch thing but I liked the short bits where grandma was hiding her money and Emery found it. Grandma gives him a cut of the money for his brains. However, Emery found it in Evan's sock drawer. At the end of the episode it is revealed that Evan lost the HOA money box which is the one Emery found. Grandma knew of this all along and had me dead when I saw it. It was so well thought out and one of my favourite moments in the show.
Because I could be going to Orlando and I want to visit my favourite locations in the show and the one I want to visit happpens to be the Orlando galleria in fresh of the boat.
And I would say it is nailing it... the perfectionism, the perfect control, and all that
I think the only saving point is despite all her "toxicity" she has good intentions for her children, and her behaviour is (or should) never be for her benefit
I see people talking about them having stereotypes. The accents. Or just that it was inaccurate from the actual Eddie Huangs life. Just interested what ya'll think. Comment your thoughts on it?
He was always supportive for all of them especially eddie. My favourite act of kindness louis did is when he inspired emery to perfect his speech. And many more things even though he wasn’t always there in the beginning as he said “I hit then with a tornado of fun and leave”
i just can’t..like especially when they were homeless and just sat there doing nothing,it was so disrespectful and she got away with it.also when honey was pregnant and tried making her stay inside for 30 days and didn’t even ask honey???
like don’t get me wrong it was good for the profit but every time we saw the restaurant it was “oh kenny roger’s can’t do that! oh michael bolton doesn’t like that” like SHUT UP it really just looks like the same as before just louis getting more insecure every 5 seconds.
Discuss why Evan is the best character ever!
My husband and I are rewatching the show and we have noticed a huge shift in writing/humor in season 4. The only thing I could find on Wikipedia is that I don't see Nahnatchka Khan under writers anymore in season 4. Season 3 was absolutely brilliant. What has happened?
I haven’t read Eddie haungs memoir and even the real Eddie haung said it was far off his real life so I don’t know but also Eddie haung became a real chef was there a real cattlemans to inspire Eddie haung like in the show to be a chef if so does anyone have any possible images of the original cattle man’s?
For a quick explanation Jessica gets evan a Costco card and Evan gets invited to church and didn’t go to Costco on Sunday later Jessica pretends to be god it’s really weird idk if anyone also got that weird feeling when watching it
Hello I will tell the story how fresh of the boat helped me. It was summer of this year I had near no one to Resort to whenever I felt bad. And anytime someone tried helping it made it worse but then I remember my cousin watching this show that took place in the 90’s and heard it was similar to young Sheldon which I liked at the time so I watched it once because it made me truly laugh and truly experience happiness in something. So I decided to watch it again and the second time was just as good if not better than the second time. But than homeroom teachers came in and all my friends were in one class whilst I was in the worst one. I despise my teacher she sucks and targets me every time. And my only escape is fresh off the boat this is my third time watching it as of now. Sorry if it didn’t make much sense I am kinda new to Reddit and am on the younger side
starts of with lead detector Jennifer hong looking for the one who did the crime. She is then lead to this mansion with many guest but one sticks out it’s the butler Jennifer hong talks to the butler then the butler walks to this dark corner and all his skin falls off. Later she investigates this bazooka factory with officer toretti and this man with a bazooka said “move away to the graveyard but that graveyard is secretly a school some how and jennifer hong looks at a bathroom mirror that said “I shall reveal the killer” and she looks up and sees herself
that’s what I think the plot would kind of be using things people mention in the show such as how Evan talks about a butlers skin falling off and the bazooka bob kid and school graveyard and many more also the plot I made was very very bad and I took as much info I remember about the show and this obviously isn’t the full story and this is all just what I would think it would kind of look like using clues from the show
Is constance wearing a wig throughout season 5?? Like her hair looks a little too voluminous and was wondering if anyone knew why 😭
