Fresh Off the Boat

Fresh Off the Boat has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus and ABC iview, and in the US on Hulu. With 6 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Randall Park is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Fresh Off the Boat is worth clearing space for. Fresh Off the Boat does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A '90s-set single-camera comedy about a hip-hop-loving Asian kid growing up in suburban Orlando, being raised by an immigrant father obsessed with all things American and an immigrant mother often bewildered by white culture. Between them, Randall Park and Constance Wu carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 6 seasons (2015–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in Fresh Off the Boat is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Fresh Off the Boat. The tonal similarities to Two Guys and a Girl are real, though Fresh Off the Boat carves out its own identity quickly. 6 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Randall Park sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Fresh Off the Boat wrapped up in 2020, created by Nahnatchka Khan — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
