2. Kim’s Convenience
What it’s about: Based on one of the creator’s earlier play of the same name, Kim’s Convenience is a sitcom that follows a Korean Canadian family who runs a convenience store. Having immigrated to Canada many years ago, the parents work hard for their two children who grew up in Canada, Janet and Jung, to lead successful lives. But their different cultural and generational outlooks sometimes create rifts in their relationships.
Why you should watch: Full of funny and heart-warming moments, this sitcom is so delightful to binge-watch, especially when you need a little pick-me-up. The charming cast delivers witty one-liners as expertly as they touch your heart. Oh, and the exploration of Asian family dynamics is spot-on.
Seasons One and Two are currently available on Netflix, while the show will return for Season Three in 2019.
