cyusufmumtaz This show is hilarious! The comedic style reminds me of Corner Gas and the story arcing is nothing like I've ever seen in a sitcom. Andrea Bang is the breakout actor in this show, although everyone contributes.
ninjachewit This show reminds me of Spongebob Squarepants in the way that both shows start off and end in a flash and want you wanting more. It's a great show although some episodes have parts that feel rushed with the dialogue sometimes, the characters are fresh and the whole setting sparks for some really interesting, humorous dialogue.
orujeedawa I was highly impressed by by Kim's Convenience. Characters both main and supporting are all very strong and well written -- meaning all of them can definitely hold their own story lines in episodes. I absolutely loved when the writers would have story lines which would focus on one of the main characters as well as supports (need more Mr. Kim and Kimchi adventures!).All in all this is one of the most wholesome shows on TV I've enjoyed in a long time; definitely fun for the whole family!
Vanessa Rios I really love comedies, I grew up watching all the black and white classics and sitcoms were a staple of mine, foreign comedies are my go- to and nothing is better than a good laugh. This show? It's everything my little first generation born heart has yearned for in a comedy. In the vein of Cristella and Fresh off the Boat, this show is about an immigrant/first generation family and their day to day life in this ever changing, ever expanding community of the North Americas. But it's So. Much. Better. It's everything I had hoped from Cristella (as a child of Mexican immigrants) and what Fresh off the Boat just missed the mark on in terms of realism. It is an honest family show that echos so many of my own experiences and gives me such a happy outlook on them. This is such a great show and you won't be disappointed. The writing, the acting, the directing, all of it is just fantastic.
