    This far exceeded my expectations. It's very funny and manages to be both grounded and "real", while also injecting a fun dose of fantastical. Loved the cast. And some great action scenes to boot! Strongly recommend.

    The writing, acting and action were all significantly better than expectations going into this. Very enjoyable show all around with a great first season.

    This show had everything, action, comedy, great music but what was most surprising was the heart. Very touching and relatable.

    American Born Chinese is a fun, bold reimagining of the American coming-of-age tale, combined with Chinese mythology and a deservedly award-winning graphic novel. There are lots of moving parts in a short amount of time, but it works in a seriously charming way when all brought together with excellent fight choreography to tie a bow on it.

    It's ideal family viewing: Thought-provoking and fun, without one element compromising the other.

    It’s like the show wanted to showcase all its potential but may only be able to thread it together in a possible second season. If this is what it takes for this story to really come to life, then fine — but at this moment, it’s hard not to view it as a massive waste of time.
