We finished watching 'American Born Chinese' on Disney+ tonight and it was a very delightful show. I was impressed with how many various stories they wove together, but you still felt satisfied with all of them and the characters. It was heartfelt and funny and had some really good action sequences. I hope they bring it back for a second season. I feel I should check out the comic now.

We finished #americanbornchinese tonight. It’s *super* different from the book. It’s more of an action adventure show, and light on the racism plot. There’s no real internal racism, but rather just a teenager trying to fit in.
It’s not a bad show, and the fact that it reunited the cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once and had James Hong as the Jade Emperor was cool.
Surprisingly it ended with a cliff hanger. Hopefully Disney won’t nuke the show next month, but who knows.
I really enjoyed #AmericanBornChinese. I’m a fan of the #stories of the #JourneyToTheWest, and really enjoyed this, in spite of the fact that I approached the #miniseries with appreciation
I would love to see more!

#AmericanBornChinese is both confusing and interesting. A lot of practical effects mixed with that I’m going to assume a lot of mythology.

I just finished watching #AmericanBornChinese. It's brilliant. Highly entertaining and enjoyable, very funny and smart and the lad who plays the Son of The Monkey King, JIn Liu is so watchable, I hope we see loads more of him. And I hope it continues with more series. But the main draw for me was the peerless Michelle Yeoh as the Goddess Guanyin, who was of course perfect. Check it out, it really great TV.

#AmericanBornChinese なんか評判いいらしいから事前知識ゼロで一話見てみたけど、まあ嫌いではない。孫悟空ネタのファンタジーなのだが、アジア系アメリカ人ティーンの苦労も垣間見える。https://youtu.be/YrV3pOo3ycU

If you want something fun to watch, tune into AMERICAN BORN CHINESE on Disney+. The son of the Monkey King comes to Earth, goes to high school, makes a friend, and fights bad guys. Great cast, cool fight scenes, good story. Michelle Yeoh is wonderful as the goddess Guanyin.
