RE: Kim's Convenience (TV series) : Really funny for a certain audience

in #netflix5 years ago

Kim's Convenience, we can compare it to Fresh Off the Boat and the experience is fascinating. Both are about an Asian family, two points of view, but also two ways to tell a story. Without surprises, the American version in its form is extremely classic: it is first and foremost a family comedy (which the public apparently wants to see) and when the ethnic background of the characters is taken into account, Clichés are more easily used (the mother is very strict with her children, for example, about their studies, who obviously prefer to behave like their lazy American peers).
