Set in a heightened reality, the opening episode of Interior Chinatown introduces us to waiter Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) in a world that feels more like a police procedural than real life with Willis cast as nothing more than a background actor. Witnessing an abduction brings Willis to the attention of Detective Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) who reveals to Willis his older, and far more talented, brother who disappeared years ago was helping her department get to the truth of what is going in Chinatown. Lana offers Willis the same opportunity.

“The Ditch Sitch” suffers from one of oldest cliches of children’s television with adults being dumb and/or unreasonable in order for the plot to play out. In this case the adult is a building developer () irate of a creature continuously stopping her construction of her latest project that goes to extremes to see it destroyed. The episode does feature an interesting creature in the magical jellyfish along with a nice message with Yi (Chloe Bennet), Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor), and Peng‘s (Ethan Loh) teaching her a lesson about living with the magical creatures, although it’s possible you might get whiplash from how quickly that lesson is taken to heart.

Knowing Chloe Bennet is fantastic, I’ll forgive her quite a bit, even dragging me into this convoluted romcom tale of a woman who finds herself in a triangle between the brother she married (Blair Penner) after a drunken night of shared sorrow and the one she immediately falls for (Anthony Konechny). Despite the fact that she doesn’t really know either brother very well, and the bland looking catalog models make Tom Brady look exotic by comparison, Riley (Bennet) finds herself living a lie with one brother while pinning for the other and attempting to help save the family business from recent poor management by the pair’s father (Eric Keenleyside).
