The people that are giving this show bad reviews really don't know what they are talking about. I don't want to assume but I feel that most of the hate comes from the show being bilingual. I hope they get a season 2. I'm invested now.

I just found this show during my free trial of AppleTV+ and I've managed to binge most of it in a single night. I'm already glad there's gonna be a second season coming out soon! So, not only is this show a throwback to the 80s in terms of aesthetic, it's a throwback to the days of writing character arcs that don't move too fast or aren't chopped up. Every person has a reason to be on screen and advance the story, which never lulls. Between the story, acting and production values, I can't really ask much more from a show. Glad I started it, and I will continue watching. Kudos to everyone involved!

I have no clue why everyone expects everything should be so deep when new shows are released.. this show ROCKS! Its nostalgic and extremely original and makes you feel good while watching. Why in the world is that a bad thing? The acting is good the character chemistry is fantastic and the storyline is something everyone can relate to. I am giving this show a 10/10!

Don't get the negativity. If it's too "woke" it's bad. If it's too "simple" it's bad. If it's too "deep" it's bad. What's wrong with a light hearted simple comedy like this these days? Nothing.

This is just a rehash of an old stereotypical story of a Mexican guy becoming rich, except that's kind the point, the comedy is supposed to come from this because parts of it are silly as older Maximo tries to tell the story of how he got to be rich while kind of embellishing the story (which takes place in the 80s in a resort in Acapulco) and telling it to a young kid. Light hearted simple stuff. Pretty solid if that's what you're after and nicely filmed.

I think what the real problem is Apple doesn't market these shows well. The trailers give no real sense of what it is, who it's for, or even do a good job of making the show attractive to any audience let alone it's target.

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. I get if you don't find the resort pool-boy setting interesting, but 1 star?? It feels like some of these people just don't like Apple focusing on a Mexican family. It's not even all Spanish.

Anyway, the show is pretty simple, with an older version of the main character narrating the story to his grandson, which is a bit cliched, but the story has heart and I found myself laughing a few times.
