The show examines the cultural shocks that the first-generation immigrant family faces in their first few months in a new country, especially after their interactions with their neighbours.

Vijal, the Emmy-nominated creator, whose previous works include black-ish and The Middle, has been quoted as saying that the show comes from a very personal place, and explores the many facets of the immigrant struggle, with the pain getting funnier over time.
