Primo

I know I'm not the first to equate Primo with the classic sit-com Malcolm in the Middle, but it is definitely appropriate on several levels. Primo is light-hearted, family-oriented and dead-pan humor that centers around the family of the main teen-age male character. While the family is Mexican (and someone should remind Lisa Vidal, since she is "Mexican" like Henry Winkler is "Italian") it literally could be any 2nd-generation Latin family, which is why it is so relatable. Aside from some inside jokes, peripheral tell-tales and food references (Psst...Lisa, it's "tamales", not "tamalies") most of the characters don't even portray any Mexican side, save one uncle who really plays up the whole "vato" character, but although comical, doesn't come off as too cliche' or over-the-top. The first episode was really slow-paced and the jokes were a little lame, but the subsequent episodes really made up for it. The show could do with a little tighter editing and a faster pace (some bed music might help the dead air that seems to permeate at times). For being such a low-budget offering, overall it is very well-written and really the best sit-com I've seen since the remake of "One Day at a Time" and I highly recommend it and hope it gets a second season...and possibly more mainstream.

If you are a fan of The Office, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Good Place, the executive producer has created another series that has the same humor mixed with heart.

Focusing on the life of a Teenager who's five Uncles make up the blueprint of what it means to be a man this coming of age story is something that keeps you laughing and thinking about life.

It's got the classic cutaways that made the aforementioned mentioned shows classic. The young lead somehow reminds me of Tom Holland he's got great timing and presence.

Millennials will recognize the female lead from her early days on Nickelodeon.

Each of the uncles are crazy and zany in their own ways but ultimately try to teach their "Primo" about what life means and how to navigate it.

Definitely recommend watching and hopefully we get a few seasons out of it.

The only bad thing about this show is that season one is over! Sorry for the gotcha title review, but now that you're reading this, seriously go check out this show! If you want a perfect balance between comedic and heartwarming, with so many quips you'll be ready for a rewatch immediately upon finishing as well as enough heartstring-tugging moments to feel like a balm for the soul, then sit back and let the Gonzales family into your home and into your hearts. The writing, the acting, the situational family chaos that ensues, is all so well done. This show is truly about showing up for the people you love and I sure hope we get a confirmed second season soon.

AT LAST Shea Serrano brings his charm and wit to the big screen in this heart-warming comedy series. The hilarious antics of the Gonzalez family will keep audiences of all ages entertained. For me, the uncles are the stars of the show- each uniquely quirky and adorable without feeling too over the top. My favorite of the five truly changed from episode to episode! Drea and Rafa round out the family as the perfect mother-son duo with effortless one-liners wrapped up in a whole lot of love.

As a long time fan of Mr. Serrano, I was delighted to get a deeper insight into his teenage experience and the dynamics of his big, beautiful Mexican family. The glimpses of the Spurs and Fast & Furious memorabiliaI in Rafa's room kept me giggling throughout. I cannot recommend this show enough to anyone looking for a funny and honest portrayal of a high schooler's attempt to balance school, love, family and everything in between! Now bring on season 2!!

This series is really cute. It's a feel-good wholesome series with lots of unexpected funny one liners and tons of relatable moments. The mom is hilarious!!! I love her!

I read that it's the same creators of Parks & Rec, and The Good Place so it has those easy, familiar, happy family vibes. Especially funny if you're from South Texas! The show allows for each character to shine but not over power one another which is nice. Some characters are silly and easy to laugh alongside with. Drea is a favorite. She's sassy and quick and her lines make me laugh out loud when I'm not expecting it.

Definitely add to your watch list!
