More Awkwafina in 2020!!
In the second episode of Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens, the titular character gets dragged into accompanying her grandmother to Atlantic City. Though Nora had very special plans to stay at home alone and masturbate, her grandma's sob story about her best friend cancelling their trip after getting hit by a CitiBike effectively guilt-trips the slacker into agreeing to the last minute adventure.
Yet despite these similarities, there are many elements of the show that prevent it from feeling like a retread. By training its focus on an Asian American protagonist, the show's DNA is inherently in contrast to the distinctly Jewish world of Broad City's Brooklyn. Nora still lives at home with her widowed father and her wisecracking grandmother in Queens' Forest Hills neighborhood, and the show is refreshingly unafraid to use that premise as a means to explore Asian culture.
