Here are my brief stream of consciousness bullet points on episode two (SPOILERS), where the Lam family is fleshed out a little:
CJ Lam, actor is 39 years old but is playing 20 year old? Doesn’t quite fly
How many Hong Kong Chinese are working as lobstermen in Maine? I would guess exactly ZERO…
This whole Chinese angle to the show may be more check box ticking to be more “inclusive” even though it makes no sense
The Lams do speak Cantonese, but also perfect unaccented English
CJ is sniffing white powder, cocaine I suppose?
Bill goes back to visit tiny skinhead zombie, “Diez,” who is local drug dealer
Jewish hippie chick was screwing CJ Lam, but she’s always high and asks him to hurt her which he thinks is ewwww gross
Bill runs into naked old witch at backyard barbecue, so it was another old lady, not grandma Muldoon
CJ pumping iron (10 lb barbells) in his attic, getting ready for next fight with Muldoon boys
Fails though as Muldoon boys rough him up (not the face, just some artful scratches) and break an arm
Weird Boomer stuff as Bill and Sonya discuss suicide and Sonya goes and stands on cliff ledge, unfortunately Bill doesn’t push her off
Shirtless CJ in bed with hippie chick, but she got him hooked on white powder so that’s not good
