Based on the graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang, the Disney+ series American Born Chinese proves to be one of the year's best surprises.

A coming-of-age story that at times brings to mind TV greats My So-Called Life (though this one is from a boy's perspective) and Freaks And Geeks, American Born Chinese manages to blend a realistic portrayal of modern American teen life with a fantasy about a mythical realm – and it works!
