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.
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!

I started watching the first season of Primo because Im a fan of both Shea Serrano and Mike Schur. I finished it in 2 days because it is so fun and funny.
Great characters and lots of jokes, all centered on a family you just want to keep getting to know, what more could you want? I kept changing my mind on which was my favorite uncle, they're all funny and also all sort of remind you of people you know. This is all a testament to the writing and the casting of the show, which is top notch.
My only complaint is I wanted more episodes! The first season delivers 8 episodes, which definitely leaves you wanting more.
If you are a fan of family comedies I can't recommend it highly enough! Go check it out!

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.
