这部单镜头情景喜剧根据华裔美国厨师黄颐铭(Eddie Huang)的回忆录《初来乍到》改编,主要描述上世纪九十年代一个台湾家庭来到奥兰多定居的故事。黄颐铭的父母都是台湾移民,他从小就热爱美国的一切,尤其是嘻哈乐。他的父亲尚能很好地融入当地社会,但母亲却时常为白人文化感到困惑。他的父亲经营着一家全美国式的牛排餐厅连锁企业,和全家人一起憧憬着「美国梦」。与此同时,他们还要竭力保持自己的民族文化特性,确保家庭的完整。剧名「fresh off the boat」是一个俗语,通常泛指新一代去美国追求「美国梦」的移民。
The series is set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, amid misguided corporate cultures, moony innovation labs and cutthroat private high schools. It is centered around a rift between a self-appointed “inventor of the future” tech CEO and his self-serving “performance psychologist”, who are engulfed in a scandal sparked by the exploitation of personal data.
