Matt Roush says...
A fun mix of coming-of-age high-school comedy and rip-roaring martial-arts fantasy, this enjoyable eight-episode hybrid (available to binge in its entirety) stars Ben Wang as Jin Wang, a 10th-grader yearning for normalcy who gets anything but when he’s assigned to help show new Chinese student Wei-Chen (former Taekwondo champ Jimmy Liu) around the school. Turns out Wei-Chen has ties to a mythical realm, and he’s come to Earth to avert a cataclysmic uprising—cue the arrival of Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as a mighty goddess. Also appearing in the series are Everything co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu.
