Why It Rocks

 * 1) It has a plot that's interesting and easy to follow.
 * 2) The 90's setting is very accurate.
 * 3) Amazing acting in general.
 * 4) Lots of funny moments.
 * 5) The characters are likable and pretty relatable (most of the time).
 * 6) Some episodes build tension with the viewer, and when it does, it's executed really well.
 * 7) A great depiction of Asian culture.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Eddie and Jessica can be unlikable sometimes. In addition, Evan and Emery being "good boys" as opposed to Eddie can become annoying after a while.
 * 2) * To get the elephant out of the room, Jessica is also a bit stereotypical as she is depicted as a tiger-mom.
 * 3) Sometimes, the occasional special effects look fake.
 * 4) Some episodes are boring.
 * 5) Anachroisms like in "Workin' the 'Ween" were girls are dressed as Britney Spears despite it took place in 1998 and Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time" didn't come out yet until November 1998.
