What to Know

Critics Consensus

Adapting its satirical source material to imperfect but thrilling effect, Interior Chinatown is freewheeling entertainment with plenty to say about Asian-American stereotypes in media.

Brandon Yu San Francisco Chronicle What starts out as a cheeky meta murder mystery instead becomes a high-concept experiment that is at once daring, tiresome and too ambitious for its own good. Rated: 1/4 Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) For the most part, this metafiction about a Chinese restaurant waiter... manages to satisfy both its conceptual framework that exists inside a cliched story and provide a sense of humanity to what is an otherworldly realm. Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader If the show isn’t quite a scathing indictment of assimilation and the racist expectations therein, it at least makes its emphasis on the comedic murder mystery a fun, intriguing ride. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked Even when it’s treading ground you, as a viewer, have already trod, or when its ambitions aren’t quite ambitious enough, Interior Chinatown has a lot to say, and from voices we don’t hear enough. Rated: B Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Interior Chinatown is certainly ambitious, with a layered meta concept that demands attention. Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire Interior Chinatown is one of the most refreshing takes on the often played-out detective genre that I've seen in years. Rated: 9/10 Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Koi P Each episode gets better. Don't read about it; just watch it for maximum enjoyment. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Samuel M Quite literally, there is nothing to hate about Interior Chinatown (except the ending which was kinda confusing). Nevertheless, it is my favorite miniseries ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Ahmer N Failed to nail the ending maybe, but delightfully meta show that had so much fun with the form and history of the genre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Tobias K If not for the pretty regular two or three episodes in the middle, which remain solid crime entertainment, but lack the conceptual strength of the show as a whole, this is one of my favorite shows of the last couple of years. Great acting and asian representation included. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review jang m The show started out great but it started jumping all over the place. It got dried and Willis got too professional all of sudden…. Lost interest!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Olivier C Honestly one of the best series I've seen lately. From his originality in the construction of the plot to the ending. I am wondering where could a second season would go from with the ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
