Reply to Opinions on Teen Wolf? by SuspendedInKarmaMama

Besides Buffy, I think it’s the most worthwhile teen supernatural show (the first three seasons, at least). Solid mythology, endearing characters, and a decent Peter Parker-type story. If you’re in your teens or early 20’s, I’d say it’s worth checking out

Even if it's consistent with where he's from, that doesn't mean it's not closed to being criticized. People can have a lot of closeminded views back where they're from, but that doesn't mean it should be acceptable here.

You brought more context to the issue so thank you for that.

Reply to The OA by str8dazzlin

The OA makes me feel like no other television show.

I still haven’t decided if it’s one of the best TV shows ever or one of the worst.

This opinion isn't uncommon in Chinese and Chinese diaspora communities throughout East/Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, where Chiang is from, Indians are the next largest ethnic minority group after Chinese, but don't hold nearly the economic power that the Chinese community does, though there's definitely an Indian elite/professional class. Usually this comes with a dollop of Han-centricism (the only cultures which matter are touched culturally or politically by the various dynasties of the Middle Kingdom [minus the non-Han ones, save when they Hanified]).

Not excusing it, just saying that it's consistent with where he's from, as well as really disappointing if that's an indication of his beliefs rather than something put on for a joke.

Reply to The Velma show is actually good by Humble_Re-roll

It's not the worst show to exist but it would've benefited from not using the Scooby Doo characters. Mainly because of how they're all characterized, its a disservice to the original characters but I think it wouldn't be bad if the writers created new characters

I remember when he first started working in China and had terrible Chinese. Proper ABC and proper hot. Stuck in traffic? At least there's an ad with Daniel Wu on a building to look at!

Unfortunately like many shit celebrities who participate in Chinese entertainment he's also anti-HK/pro-Beijing.

There's only 3 seasons. I really liked it despite its faults. The first main bad's storyline finished at the end of s2 instead of dragging on, the most annoying character in the show got offed at the end of s3, Nick Frost joined the cast and did a lot of big guy Sammo Hung esque Kung Fu and they were gearing up to introduce gun fu it seemed in S4 before it got cancelled.

I'm also really into that ruins of the old world vibe like in Fallout, and Horizon.

Reply to top 10 tv shows imo: by etskakaik

I swear I watched a different version of the walking dead then everyone else. Seasons 7-8 are so bad, and I didn’t even bother watching the rest. How is this show top 10 !
