Don't just win. Destroy.

ComedyDrama

Streetwise swaggering Christopher "C-Dub" Wang is a suburban guy who waxes political on all things Asian American and clings to pro basketball pipe dreams. But when misfortune strikes his family, C-dub must overcome living at home, working a dead-end job and his worldly older brother, to run his Mom's ping pong classes and defend the family's athletic dynasty.

VIBE

A quirky, energetic comedy about family and finding your place. It balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine heart, making for a feel-good, slightly awkward, and ultimately uplifting watch.
