    I wish there was more!

    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!

    Delightful, Wholesome Fun

    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!!

    Funny & heartwarming

    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.

    Super cute!!! Just what we needed

    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!
