Primo

Great show about a family making it work amongst a cast of characters that each have their own unique stories and attributes.

The struggle is real for the main character Primo, a teenager growing up in surburban Texas. The young Ignacio Diaz-Silverio plays the role of Primo as a typically insecure high schooler trying to figure out his future, manage his crazy family, and maybe get the girl! He is definitely the straight man but definitely gets jokes in with excellent comedic timing.

The family dynamic is where the show shines, as his 5 Uncles offer their own wacky advice for what he should do with himself. My favorite of his uncles is a hilarious stonerish hippy gliding through the universe.

The heart of the movie is his Mom that holds the family together that all the uncles make sure they are taking care of her when really it's the other way around.

Of course this all comes from the mind of Shea Serrano and his life story overlaps into the characters. The sly jokes and pop culture references keep you focused on the dialogue as the quirky characters make their way through hilarious family adventures mixed in with pull at your heart string moments of sweetness.

This show blends serious topics, unique perspectives, familiar emotions, and the funniest moments in a television show. The creators of Primo stuff a lot of great moments into a short runtime. I had to rewatch the series twice to catch more jokes.

Having a show that focuses on a high school student navigating young love felt a bit outside of my zone, considering I'm twenty years out of high school. However, the writing, casting, and acting kept me engaged and reminded me of my high school years and how they aligned with the show.

My only ask is to continue this story. I want more of these characters in my life. I can't wait to see what's next.

Love this show!! I binged it like crazy but why on earth is the name Primo? 😩 Primo is cousin and there is no cousin only uncles. It's driving me crazy 😩 but other than that I really enjoyed it. It was funny characters were cast amazingly.

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.

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!
