This show has an accurate representation of what it is like to be in a minority community in an American society. It is a struggle to find the middle balance between your familial cultural values and the American societal values. Also, it gives a reflection on what it is like to be Indian and growing up with the American public shool system. It is overall a great show for comedic value, drama, and overall understanding and compassion for the main character.
