This is a story about family expectations and second generation immigrant dynamics, wrapped in a "Kill Bill-esque" delivery; peppered with plenty of food references (if you know, you know). It is stylish violence at its best; though perhaps not to be consumed if you are binging this at dinner time. It will strike a cord with those who grew up with comfort foods and bilingual homes. Great casting of breakthrough Taiwanese-American stars, led by the inimitable Michelle Yeow (who is of course Malaysian). This show is gonna put Taipei on the map for the summer holidays!

It felt like a love story to New York, truth be told. That's said, the lead characters were believable and relatable for anyone who has ever had to leave behind others and not had the words to express themselves, at the time.
