Jordan and Niv discuss two forays into Asian-American led TV on Netflix, first in regard to the recently settled SAG/AFRA and WGA strikes. Then, they set the scene for the Emmy nominated 'Beef' (7:36), investigate whether the series could have been a film (11:48), and highlight a cast on the rise (13:12). They debate the class struggles inherent in 'Beef' (16:52), and examine the way the show uses Korean representation (21:20). Then finally, before transitioning to their conversation on 'One Piece', they inquire whether Netflix is willing to take a risk on more shows with such a specific tone (25:25).
In their spoiler-filled conversation about 'One Piece', Niv dissects the balance of creative control (32:40) before Jordan shares his overall thoughts on the series (37:30). They contrast the show with its origins (41:00), before evaluating whether its exactly what Netflix is looking for (58:08). Then, they return to comparing this live-action series to its source material (1:02:51) and anticipate what Season 2 might bring (1:23:25).
