Ep.4: “In Chinatown, No One Thinks About Forever” with Olivia Cheng

Hosts Lisa Ling and Hoon Lee talk to Olivia Cheng, who plays the inimitable Ah Toy. They go into episode 4 and some big themes around power - who has it and how they use it. Olivia shares her insights into the complexities of Ah Toy's character and her relationship with Nellie,  the challenges she faces as a woman in a male-dominated world, and the nuanced dynamics of race, identity, and empowerment depicted in the show.  They also talk about the real Ah Toy- a larger than life woman who inspired the character.
