Yes I’m very late to the game as the show premiered almost 2 years ago
But dang I’m glad I finally watched it — having run out of anime and more high-concept content
Highly recommend if you haven’t yet, and enjoy dark, intense, genre-spanning TV. Clocks in at 10 episodes and the last half is a real gripper
Great cast — Ali Wong was perfectly cast for the role, her creative tension with Steven Yeun was great, David Choe gave an outstanding performance he just feels like a natural actor, many well written characters with rich stories and motivations
Addressed multiple important themes without being heavy handed, from class to modern relationships to cross-cultural to inter-generational
The really heavy stuff is in all the character flaws and how those flaws underpinned so many of their actions and resulting life problems
Excellent writing, although I would have preferred a sprinkle more humor and lightness, it got uncomfortable it did but I did have at least one intense dream
The ending felt just right, one of those rare Netflix shows which got better as the season progressed, and wasn’t stuffed with 3-5 episodes of filler
