The adaptation of 'Interior Chinatown' is overseen by Charles Yu, who explores the complexities of Asian American identities through a metafictional narrative meant for television.
This 10-part mini-series expands on the original novel while addressing different audience expectations, improving some aspects but still facing inherent challenges in storytelling.
Yu's story tackles the theme of invisibility in mainstream America, effectively blending his protagonist's reality with a satirical TV crime drama that resonates across fiction.
Despite its successes, the adaptation reflects persistent issues of representation and the difficulties of moving Asian American characters beyond familiar stereotypes and tropes.
