Ronny Chieng: International Student is a comedy series created by Ronny Chieng, writer and correspondent on The Daily Show. The show revolves around the life of a Malaysian international student named Ronny Chieng, who moves to Australia to pursue his studies at the prestigious Melbourne University.

Ronny is a character inspired by Chieng's real-life experiences as an international student in Australia. He is funny, witty and sarcastic, but also struggles with the challenges of living in a new country, away from his family and friends. Ronny is supported by his Australian roommate, Asher (Molly Daniels), who becomes his friend and partner in crime. They both navigate the complexities of university life and cultural differences, while trying to stay out of trouble with the university authorities.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is the way it portrays the clash between different cultural values and expectations. Ronny is often caught between his traditional Malaysian upbringing and the liberal, free-spirited lifestyle of his Australian classmates. He finds himself torn between obeying his parents and pursuing his own dreams, between fitting in and standing out, between respecting authority and questioning it.

Despite the serious themes, the show is primarily a comedy that pokes fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of university life. The humor is witty, irreverent and sometimes outrageous, but always grounded in reality. The show takes a satirical approach to issues like racism, sexism, politics, and social media, without being preachy or offensive.

The supporting cast is also impressive, with standout performances from Shuang Hu as Linda, Ronny's Chinese friend who offers her own unique perspective on life in Australia; and Hoa Xuande as Roland, the overzealous international student representative who is always trying to show off his patriotism to his home country.

Overall, Ronny Chieng: International Student is an enjoyable and refreshing show that offers a unique perspective on the experience of being an international student. With its mix of humor, social commentary, and cultural insights, it is a must-watch for anyone who has ever felt like a fish out of water in a foreign land.
