Based on chef Eddie Huang's best-selling memoir of the same name, "Fresh Off the Boat" takes a humorous look at the lives of immigrants in America. In the 1990s, Eddie, a hip-hop-loving 11-year-old, relocates with his parents and two brothers to suburban Orlando from the Chinatown section of Washington, D.C. As Eddie's dad, Louis, pursues the American dream by opening a Western-themed restaurant named Cattleman's Ranch Steakhouse, Eddie and the rest of the family try to acclimate to their new, strange surroundings.

Allison Keene Collider The show can be exceptional in its smallest moments, particularly regarding its smallest cast members (and its oldest, with Soong), as well as its great use of throwaway comments and referential cutaways. Rated: 4/5 Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Paula Young Lee Salon.com This is the first time that the Chinese New Year has been introduced as a major holiday on American television. Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Megan Reynolds New York Magazine/Vulture A lifetime supply of SAT prep cards for Jessica's throwaway line: "Does she do CLC?" I have been waiting for a Chinese school episode, but this mere acknowledgement will tide me over until that day comes. Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind It may not provide the most fruitful avenue for storytelling week in and week out, but as a table setter for the season to follow, "Family Business Trip" brings back Fresh Off the Boat back in '95 Pump style.
