“…these characters share a grasping desire to be something else, to find a way in the world other than the one plotted out for them. These shows…don’t have the luxury of cynicism. They have to be energized by some crazy, improbable hope in order to exist at all.”

From WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS to INTERIOR CHINATOWN — in the last five years Taika Waititi has produced a compelling, bespoke, weird little television empire.

Taika Waititi’s Open-Hearted Television Empire
From “What We Do in the Shadows” to “Interior Chinatown,” Waititi has a gift for making defiantly original, rambling, rollicking, freewheeling shows.

“The bold liberties it takes to fit the television medium pack a punch and only demonstrate Charles Yu’s versatility as a creator. One of 2024’s finest new shows.”
Well damn 🤧💙

INTERIOR CHINATOWN is "a visceral and biting satire of the minuscule and stereotypical roles Asian Americans had to play in American television while being an engaging neo-noir comedy"

Jimmy O. Yang Shines in Excellent "Interior Chinatown" | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
A sharp, stylish commentary on the lack of Asian representation in '90s media.

Interior Chinatown is at once a breezy, dreamy and surprisingly heartfelt dramedy that solidly balances being both a police procedural and a family drama rooted in the heart of Chinatown. Jimmy O. Yang and Ronny Chieng are especially good here, as are the supporting cast. On Hulu
