Just watched the first episode, and here's my review:
Positives: The direction is good, the characters are likable, and the concept is interesting. The first episode feels very realistic, with every scene coming across naturally.
Negatives: It's too long. The first episode is over 50 minutes, and there are nine more of the same length, which feels excessive for such a simple story. The show revolves around a family of four who run a private ambulance service. They face challenges in their work, competition from other ambulances, going from the scene of emergencies to hospitals to save lives, while also dealing with personal issues. But, I didn't find anything in this episode that truly hooked me. In this episode, they reached the location of two emergency calls and saved lives. I assume the other episodes will follow a similar format-going to different locations, saving people in various settings and situations. The movie that inspired this series is about as long as just two of this show's episodes, so I don't understand why they stretched it into 10 episodes, each around 50 minutes long.
The overall tone is sad and emotional, but I think they should've added a few light or comedic moments, or at least ended the first episode with a cliffhanger to make it more engaging. The episode didn't have that kind of ending. If you compare it to Netflix's Maid (also based on a real story), Maid was emotional too but had that "what will happen next" element, which is why it became one of my favorite shows. I didn't get that feeling with this show. There's also some abusive language used which wasn't needed.
Overall: Good concept and touching story, but the long episode durations are a huge downside. It's such a big negative that I'm not sure if I'll watch the rest-I'll probably skip it. I haven't watched the documentary, so I can't compare, but I might give that a try. If you're okay with hour-long episodes, liked the trailer, and are interested in the story, you might enjoy it. For me: 2.5/5.

Midnight Family is a fascinating, emotional, sometimes riveting series about a semi-dysfunctional family who always have each other's backs, despite enduring a boatload of trials and tribulations. I haven't watched the documentary, so I have nothing to compare with, but the series itself had me hooked after the first few episodes and I looked forward eagerly to watching the whole first season.
As other reviewers have noted, there is a definite "soap opera-ish" feel to the series but, for me, that helps keep up the energy and excitement. The show is very well shot and, even though I don't speak Spanish, the actors all seemed to do an excellent job in their roles.
There are multiple cliffhangers at the end of the first season, so I truly hope that Apple TV+ does the right thing and produces a second season. If not, I'll be disappointed about not being able to find out what happens to all these interesting characters.
I'd rate Midnight Family 8.3 and give it a very positive recommendation for anyone who enjoys a high-energy medical series with plenty of emotion.

We have some iconic medical dramas like Dr. House, some once upon a time good ones like Grey's Anatomy (no shade, but it should have ended like by the tenth season)... and a bunch from mediocre to very bad medical tv shows, so to find one different was a nice surprise.
Midnight family focus on the point of view of a paramedical family (based on a true family from the awarded documentary of the same name).
The cast is great in their roles, and the characteres deeper, everyone figthing their own individual problems.
Production is good, and the story keeps interesting without overreacting where many tv shows have failed on.

This serie follows the principal idea of the.2019 Documentary "Familia de Medianoche", but with some interesting but simple sub-plots that are not difficult to follow.
The cast does a great job, Joaquín Cosio is a very gifted actor, and the promising Golden Globe nominee Diego Calva lives up his reputation.
The leading role, portrayed by Renata Vaca, is sometimes outshined by her talented co-stars, but overall, all of them deliver.
There are, and will be some incredible guest appearences, including the acclaimed Dolores Heredia, Óscar Jaenada and Academy Award nominee Yalitza Aparicio, so I can't wait for the following episodes.

I watched the "earthquake" episode to get a sense of what this series could do if the drama is amped up. My conclusion: middling.
The earthquake isn't very realistically portrayed. The injured people look like someone slathered them with ketchup and left them lying on mats on the street. Where are the grievous amputation injuries? I guess the CGI budget didn't extend that far.
The overall tone is smarmy and soapy. Lots of weepy characters and implied romantic entanglements. The kid gets to play doctor (illegally) and the patient doesn't croak. How nice for him but that kind of thing is a bore for the audience.
