Ten-part comedy "Interior Chinatown" is mind-bendingly madcap and hyper-meta, but lurking behind producer Taika Waititi’s love-it-or-loathe-it schtick is a genuinely impassioned critique of the gatekeepers of the film and T.V. industry, specifically their ongoing reluctance to depict Asian-Americans as anything other than the usual.
Here's how to watch "Interior Chinatown" from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.
"Interior Chinatown" premieres on Tuesday, November 19.
• U.S. — Hulu (30-day FREE trial)
• RoW — Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Bored to death of playing a stereotypical background character — in this case, a restaurant waiter — in a generic police procedural, Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) finally gets the slice of action he's always craved when Detective Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) is given the Chinatown beat.
Yang and Ronny Chieng, who plays Willis' restaurant co-worker Fatty Choi, spent the early parts of their careers trapped on the Generic Asian Man, or Delivery Guy, Tech Guy, Kung Fu Guy circuit, while Bennet's career only took off when she dropped her family name, Wang.
"Black & White", the fictional police procedural at the heart of the show, revolves around black detective Turner (Sullivan Jones) and white detective Green (Lisa Gilroy), who won't give the likes of Willis and Fatty the time of day.
Read on and we'll show you where to watch "Interior Chinatown" online and from anywhere.
