Alternatino with Arturo Castro

I was a fan of the first couple of seasons of Broad City, so was curious to see what kind of talent Arturo Castro had to be given his own show; and apparently that is relegated to "being that one dude who was on that chick show". For a sketch comedy this is just NOT funny...as in at all. Arturo is completely deadpan and has the range of a light-switch. The writers of this show don't really seem to be connected with Latino culture, modern living or male-female relationships, since their "observational humor" (and that is being generous) is not only unfunny, but irrelevant. Obviously all these high reviews are coming from people who either participate in the show or are friends of someone who does, because NO ONE in their right mind without ulterior motives could ever give this show anything above a 5. It's just bad.

Honestly, I anticipated so much less. The Make a Wish/Macklemore sketch was legitimately funny. I rarely laugh out loud at anything and I found myself doing just that on several occasions.

Super smart and ridiculously funny! I liken Alternatino to Dave Chappelle's Show which made so much commentary about the time and is still super relevant today. Its so good to see gente talk about toxic masculinity, machismo, racism, the politics of today without being alienating and still being funny! So glad for this show and cannot wait for more episodes!!!

The casting, writing, directing and production are fantastic. All I can do is highly recommend that you give it a watch.

It is rare to find fine good comedy nowadays, this is it, saddly I do not think it will last
