Jimmy O. Yang Stars in Hulu's Meta Mystery 'Interior Chinatown'

Hulu's "Interior Chinatown," starring Jimmy O. Yang, adapts Charles Yu's novel into a meta narrative about an Asian American waiter's quest to break free from stereotypical roles. While the show cleverly critiques cultural tropes, its focus on meta commentary overshadows character development, leaving the protagonist, Willis Wu, as more of a symbol than a fully realized character. Despite strong performances, the series struggles to connect with contemporary cultural conversations, feeling somewhat outdated in its approach.
