    I liked it..but

    How do you do a show about the Latino experience in America without including Texas? He should have cut either Washington DC or Chicago and added San Antonio. Then taken a side trip to Rio Grande Valley or Houston.

    Texas has 11.4 million Latinos, second only to California's 15.75 million. And the population in TX is growing faster.

    Maybe he'll toss us a bone if there's a second season. I understand that New York City and Hollywood harbor a soft bias against Texas, based on ignorance. But to ignore the numbers in Texas appears to be a conscious decision.

    Come on down to Garland, Texas John, and order some authentic Mexican street tacos from 24/7 Tacos at the Shell station. They never close. Just remember to pay first at the register.

    Propaganda

    The Puerto Rico episode took me out. Nothing but pure propaganda and also I am tired every time when they film in Puerto Rico it's always the same story "The Colonizers, Bomba, Hurricane Maria, Independace or Statehood argument".

    Look, I'm Puerto Rican, I get it, there's not a lot in Puerto Rico but we do have other things. Also, that whole secret message by using Bomba is bullcrap. They copied that nonsense from Tumblr Hotep when someone post about the American slaves using cornrows as a map 🙄.

    As you can imagine I am disappointed but not surprised because I just saw the other show with the Indian-American woman with the same story.
