Launchpad: Dinner Is Served (2021)
Season 1, Episode 2
7/10
Exciting and awkward
10 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
As a Chinese international student, I am so excited to see that American TV show has finally put eyes into this group where students struggling in the conflict of Chinese culture and Western culture, finding their roles, and seeking to be a better person.

The first half is exactly the situation we may encounter, which is if we want to be better, there will be negative emotions from some people around us. I am so nervous about the dinner serving time, when the main role practice clients' name over and over again, and finally does it with a smile. That is exactly what I would do if I am in the situation, and I would definitely make mistakes. However, it feels extremely awkward in the the last part when they sing the songs on the stage. I mean, most of Chinese students may just swallow their emotions and take whatever they will get and leave the leadership position shortly afterward. It is understandable that in the limited time the story needs an ending, but that is never what I would do if I am in the situation. Not even my Chinese friends would get on the stage singing with me.

Overall, I would consider this a good show, but not so good as well.
