Didn't see a post on it. Anybody watching this? Started watching this because it's filmed in Houston. I'm 2 eps in. Long story short, it's the Vietnamese Kardashians/Housewives of Houston. It's just a bunch of reality tv schlock which is sad because the backstory of patriarch Bien Ho and his wife Hue could actually make a pretty good documentary. Moved here in the '70's as refugees from Vietnam, worked in convenience stores for years until they hit it big in banking/real estate, moved to River Oaks, raised some terrible, arrogant, spoiled children. The family dynamic is interesting (dominant parents, favoring the eldest loser son over the more accomplished daughter, big family meals on weekends, etc), but they play to too many reality tv tropes, family bickering, marriage problems, partying). The local food scene does get some play, though.
Does this mean that Asians are finally fully integrated in US society that we can have a trashy "reality" show about Asian Americans?
You had me at hard working H-town immigrants. Then you lost me at the tired spoiled rich brat antics.
James Harden signed up for HBO Max just for this, only to cancel his subscription after reading the synopsis.
On the real though...are these people actually interesting enough to watch? Even if you weren't a fan of Kim Kardashian, she (and to a lesser extent, her family) has this larger-than-life persona to draw eyeballs in.
The Ho jokes are so obvious they aren't even funny. You hos can do better. The trailer is all about them failing to be housewives.
