	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Fresh Off the Boat' wants to be both 'Black-ish' and 'The Goldbergs'--and it works fairly okay (...) but it’s a lot better show when it occasionally stops going for just the easy jokes and aims for a subtler, sharper line of comment."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"'Fresh Off the Boat' finds jokes in plenty of other, non-racial issues, and that’s often the bonus that gives you confidence this is a show with legs."	POS
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"It won’t be the hit of the year, but 'Fresh Off the Boat' is worth a look."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The real difference between the first and second episodes (...) is not just that the stereotypes are eventually turned upside down but that the characters are no longer just those stereotypes."	NEU
United States	Margaret Lyons Vulture	"The show is perfectly cast, and it certainly seems like there's plenty of story to be had."	POS
