Primo

This story is so good combining quirky, funny with serious, and heartwarming. The acting is superb with each character well thought out, deep, joyful, and each unique!

The story is centered around a teen boy Rafa Gonzalez and his family, his mother Drea, and 5 uncles whom his mother raised since she was 12, Rollie, Mike, Ryan, Jay, and Mondo. Drea is the head of the family, and all her brothers adore her and their nephew Rafa.

The uncles all have unique personalities and points of view that cause them to quarrel and yet always come together, supporting and loving each other while teaching their nephew about life.

Their story will keep you laughing and watching.

I am so looking forward to this series continuing.

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!!

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.

I know I'm not the first to equate Primo with the classic sit-com Malcolm in the Middle, but it is definitely appropriate on several levels. Primo is light-hearted, family-oriented and dead-pan humor that centers around the family of the main teen-age male character. While the family is Mexican (and someone should remind Lisa Vidal, since she is "Mexican" like Henry Winkler is "Italian") it literally could be any 2nd-generation Latin family, which is why it is so relatable. Aside from some inside jokes, peripheral tell-tales and food references (Psst...Lisa, it's "tamales", not "tamalies") most of the characters don't even portray any Mexican side, save one uncle who really plays up the whole "vato" character, but although comical, doesn't come off as too cliche' or over-the-top. The first episode was really slow-paced and the jokes were a little lame, but the subsequent episodes really made up for it. The show could do with a little tighter editing and a faster pace (some bed music might help the dead air that seems to permeate at times). For being such a low-budget offering, overall it is very well-written and really the best sit-com I've seen since the remake of "One Day at a Time" and I highly recommend it and hope it gets a second season...and possibly more mainstream.

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.
