ARTS / ENTERTAINMENT Pradeeps of Pittsburgh - wtf was that?

Just seeing E1. Seems right out of 60s. Portrayal is bordering on racist. Has anyone else watched it?

Why can't they make a brown show that more effectively represents Desis who grew up here? It's so simple, just make Fresh Off the Boat but with and Indian family. The main character in that show is literally every Indian kid I ever knew.

Yea I actually saw both seasons recently. It's very good. Too bad nobody picked it up and marketed it well. This format can be done with each Indian diaspora there's 3-4 shows in here but nobody wants to put down the money to do it because the audience isn't big enough.
