Story
Background actor Willis Wu witnesses a crime in Chinatown while working on a TV show. As he investigates, he unravels a criminal web and experiences life in the spotlight he had dreamed of.. Yang), Fatty (Ronny Chieng), and Carl (Chau Long) see Detective Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) on TV and debate her possible ethnicity: Carl declares, "she looks Thai," while Fatty argues, "Dude, she's clearly Korean. Know your Asians." In fact, Bennet is the child of a white mother and a Chinese father. Earlier in her acting career she changed her last name from Wang to Bennet (her father's first name) after encountering casting agents who said they were unable to cast her as Asian or Asian American characters, but her name precluded her consideration for white characters either..
"Interior Chinatown" is different
Within one episode I usually know whether I'm going to stick with a show. After watching 2 episodes, the jury's still out. So, what is this show about? The themes (so far) appear to be: what happens when we become personally defeated, how to offer support to others, and discovering our life's purpose and potential. This highly stylized show is a blend of fantasy, satirical comics, and slick Hollywood sets.
The combo will work for some viewers
For others, it will be a sensory overload. Does this show overreach to impress and seduce the viewer? You be the judge.First, some positives: outstanding set design and lighting. The quirky, effective music sets the tone. Overall the cast is apt, but several characterizations fall flat, primarily due to the direction.
My favorite characters are Jimmy O
Yang as Willis (the central role), his buddy Fatty (Ronny Chieng), and Jimmy's dad (Tzi Ma).One major drawback for me: the writing is uneven. There are some genuinely funny moments, but certain scenes go overboard with the physical gags. One example is when Willis attempts to enter a building… it drags on for way too long.A few minor elements are dissuading: the amount of stuff jammed into the darkened homes of several Chinese characters is ridiculous. So they look like hoarders, just because they live in an older, cramped building in a sketchy area of town?
Give me a break!
Next: the heavy cosmetics on the lead detective (played by Lisa Gilroy) is too perfectly applied, which overplays the stereotype of typically attractive females in detective shows.. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our November calendar for more!
