10 Netflix Shows With Strong Asian Leads to Stream Right Now

Midori Francis is an absolute delight as Lily in Dash & Lily, an adorable teen holiday spin on You've Got Mail. It follows Lily, a slight homebody who starts to exchange dares with a mystery boy named Dash through a red journal. Although they don't meet for most of the series, you'll definitely feel their chemistry as they send each other on adventures all throughout New York City. Lily is half Japanese, and the show takes care to honor her culture without tokenizing it. We've even got one of the greats to play her curmudgeonly but loving grandpa: James Saito!
