White Fever (2024)
Funny & Poignant
I can only imagine that some of the bad reviews are coming from sensitive white people who don't like seeing women or people of colour in lead roles or their stories told at all? And I say this as a white man.
This show is genuinely funny. Ra Chapman commits fully and you can tell the story means something to her and the team who made it.
Admittedly the show starts off bumpy but so much of that is just the show finding it's feet... did anyone see Buffy season 1? Hello! It was MEH-AF but then went on to be one of the best shows of all time. So yes the first episode takes a while to get into but it ABSOLUTELY get's better with each passing minute. By episode 3 I was almost pissing myself with laughter.
I would definitely give this a go if you want to watch an unapologetically funny and edgy series.
Bonus Round - It gives an insight into a specific experience that you would most likely never otherwise learn about - adoption of Korean born children. It's always nice to learn :)
