Everyone needs to watch the entire series before writing a review. Please do not write a review if you've only seen the trailer. I see a lot of comments that are based out of ignorance. After all, my thoughts after watching all eight episodes is different than how it was initially.
I actually cringed at the idea of watching this at first, especially since it was trying to monopolize on the success of Crazy Rich Asians.
I'm Asian and when I was heard about it, I was shaking my head. A couple friends (white and Asian) messaged me about it, so I decided to check out the trailer, and I thought it was tacky. The trailer is just a bunch of clips with no context edited together. No wonder it looked awkward and cringey.
Finally, I decided to give the show a chance and thought it got better after the first episode. The show is surprisingly entertaining, especially the diversity aspect in casting various different Asian ethnic backgrounds and having them intermingle. Non-Asians don't realize that most Asians don't speak the same language (Chinese/Singaporean/Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, etc), so it was refreshing to see how the show highlights differences.
My favorite is (probably) Christine because of her Queen B persona. Plus, she is very articulate and well-spoken. I can't imagine a Beverly Hills-based show without a character like Christine! People love to hate these characters, but they are so intriguing to watch. Love her!
My other favorite is Kim Lee; she started getting more scene time as the series progressed. She's really fun to watch!
I didn't like Kane at first. I thought he was very annoying, but he grew on me overtime because you do learn a lot about Asian culture through him, and he says a lot of HILARIOUS things! I also really enjoyed Kevin and Anna. Andrew was also fun to watch despite his anger issues.
It's just a show ya'll. Enjoy it and stop getting offended by everything!
