Nice is a ½ hour series about Teddy Park, a 20-something fantasy football obsessed Korean American woman living in Minnesota. Teddy has tried to live her life as a typical “nice” Minnesotan girl. However, after she finds out that her breast cancer diagnosis has recurred, she decides to throw that Minnesota Nice to the wind — to become the biggest asshole in the state. But, in doing so, Teddy withdraws from everyone, and especially from her older sister, Hana (who is also preparing for her wedding). Throughout the series, Teddy’s friends and family begin to confront her secretive and unpleasant behavior throughout this high stakes coming-of-age story.
Created and written by Naomi Ko, directed by Andrew Ahn, produced by Carolyn Mao.
