What I liked

The script is cleverly written and the way Paul recreated well-known superhero stories with an Asian character was pure genius. Also, I appreciated the fact that Paul used a different Asian culture for each superhero. There’s more to the Asian race than just Chinese (no offense to Chinese people, but it is fact that majority of the time non-Asians assume every Asian person is Chinese).

What I didn't like

At times, the background pictures didn’t line up with the script. It was sometimes too fast or too slow. Perhaps a technically issues?

My overall impression

Amazing. This show is a must see! Secret Identity Crisis brings awareness to the acting industry about the lack of leading roles and misrepresentation of Asian actors. As part of the Asian ethnicity and growing up in America, this show really hit home. Overall, it was amazing show and I hope his message changes the world.
