Decent enough comedy series, starts of really well but starts to get a bit samey after a few seasons. While I really like Constance Wu (Jessica) she is overshadowed in the later seasons by her husband, kids, Grandma Huang and even the neighbours. It's not that Jessica gets any worse, merely that she only has one schtick: Hard disciplinarian caring only about money and self-improvement, spurning any form of fun, relentlessly pressurising her kids to do better, the gets all crestfallen and apologetic when her family show their resentment of her constantly overbearing attitude, period of repentance, then her methods are shown to be working in part & she's back to normal; then it's wash, rinse, repeat over and over again, it gets a bit tiresome so I start to tune out when she's on screen. By the time I got to S5/6 what I initially found amusing about her attitude and behaviour had completely worn off and I found I liked her character less and less, seeing her merely as an extremely selfish, self-centred and pretty dislikable person who repeatedly trots out lame excuses for her poor behaviour, just a kill-joy in every way. Still, as I said, decent enough, earlier season's were funnier IMO, it probably should not have run for 6 seasons though.

It's a shame that it ended, I really enjoyed this show.
I fav season would be season 1, but mostly because adult Eddie would narrate his early years in each episode (like The Goldbergs). But they stopped doing that for the rest of the season, which was annoying.

Fresh off the Boat was a hilarious, heartwarming family show.
