Early in her acting career, she changed her last name from Wang to Bennet (her father’s given name) after encountering casting agents who said they couldn’t cast her for Asian or Asian-American characters, but her name precluded her from being considered. I’m on episode 2 & I’ll get back to you when I’ve watched the entire show. So far I can’t say if I like this show or not.

Probably someone who has worked on the show since gave it a 10. Sorry but a movie like Chinatown or Godfather II is not a 10, this.
