When Fresh Off the Boat premiered on ABC in February 2015, Eddie Huang should have been ecstatic. The sitcom about a Taiwanese family pursuing the American dream in Florida is based on his memoir of the same name, and it immediately garnered favorable reviews and a strong viewer following. But Huang, who initially served as creator, producer, and narrator for the show, soon found himself disillusioned with how the network presented his story to a broad American audience. In a series of interviews, he expressed frustration that the unique immigrant experience detailed in his memoir wasn’t adequately translated for television, even stating in an interview with NPR that “the studio and network are not on a mission to represent [AsianAmericans].” By the time season two of Fresh Off the Boat premiered in September 2015, Huang had distanced himself from the show to focus on other projects. Now he is at the helm of a new docuseries, and he’s hopeful that this latest endeavor will present a more authentic view of the immigrant experience.
