    Not unlike black-ish, this show is incredibly thin. It's not easy to create a multi-faceted sitcom when the driving premise is "Race". The audience basically knows the punchline to any and all jokes and the writers seem to be over reliant on the premise. The child actors also leave MUCH to be desired. The delivery is stilted and though Eddie is supposed to be this Hip hop black sheep ofNot unlike black-ish, this show is incredibly thin. It's not easy to create a multi-faceted sitcom when the driving premise is "Race". The audience basically knows the punchline to any and all jokes and the writers seem to be over reliant on the premise. The child actors also leave MUCH to be desired. The delivery is stilted and though Eddie is supposed to be this Hip hop black sheep of the family, it rarely shows. He just throws a "yo" or " dawg" in there every once in a while. The younger brothers are cute, but their lines are awkward and unnatural. When compared to shows like "modern Family", "Everybody hates Chris" and " Malcolm in the middle" the differences are obvious. Expand

    Somehow it still manages to find strangeness within its sentimentality. Fresh Off the Boat is unlikely to dismantle the master’s house. But it opens a door.

    It’s a relief to find that Fresh Off the Boat is not only genuinely funny and surprisingly broad but also a little bit subversive.

    Fresh off the Boat has soul, flavor and an incredible cast. Time will tell if the comedy finds the audience it richly deserves.
