Whatever your excuse for missing last night’s historic primetime television premiere of Fresh Off the Boat, the most frequently asked question I’ve received from folks who missed out is “How can I watch it if I missed it?”
As a public service (you’re welcome), I’ve compiled this handy-dandy list of legal ways to view the show online. And hey, I don’t want to play into any Asian stereotypes, but let’s not be pirating this show because we want the studios keep making it because they know how many of us really are watching it, OK?
