The explanation was somewhat satisfactory - it’s kinda Truman Show which was stated from the beginning. I wish they had brought out the tie to Chinese hell, but the jab at Hulu reminded me of some of Marvel’s D+ navel gazing.
Ultimately, I liked what it reached for; it just got longwinded in the middle. It could’ve worked better with 2/3rds of the eps. The AmerAsian angle was its strongest suite - I wasn’t raised in Chinatown but some of my cousins and friends were, so a few ideas resonated. Jimmy, Ronny & Chloe were good in some very unique roles.
D00M recommended? Perhaps. I’d say if you’re curious, give it a few eps. If not, simply don’t bother.
