Interior Chinatown
Break out of your role.
Created by Charles Yu
On Hulu
A metafictional, formally inventive drama about agency and representation that uses the police procedural as both setting and critique, balancing defiant playfulness with genuine emotional stakes about identity and family.
Willis Wu, a background character trapped in a police procedural, tries to find his way into the larger story–and along the way discovers secrets about the strange world he inhabits and his family's buried history.
