Fresh Off The Boat
HOT
Für die Familie Huang heißt es Abschied nehmen von Washington. Jessica (Constance Wu) und Louis (Randall Park) ziehen mit ihren Kindern Eddie (Hudson Yang), Emery (Forrest Wheeler) und Evan (Ian Chen) nach Florida, um dort ein Steakhouse zu übernehmen. Ebenfalls mit im Gepäck: Grandma Huang (Lucille Soong), die Englisch zwar durchaus versteht, aber dennoch beharrlich nur Mandarin spricht. Der Start im neuen Leben verläuft zunächst äußerst holprig. Nicht nur bleiben die Gäste für das Steakhouse zunächst aus, auch in der Schule und in der Nachbarschaft machen die kulturellen Unterschiede den Anfang nicht gerade leicht.
