The cinematography in Fresh Off the Boat is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Fresh Off the Boat. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Fresh Off the Boat actually is?
Honestly, Fresh Off the Boat would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Fresh Off the Boat?
Everyone praising the Fresh Off the Boat performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
