About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a messy, warm, street-level family dramedy with strong cultural specificity and relationship tension, especially if you liked Saving Face; Not for you if constant arguing and chaotic energy wear you out.
Pros: authentic Latino community; relatable family struggles; funny and heartfelt | Cons: lots of yelling; uneven humor; some stereotypes
