A coming-of-age comedy about a Mexican-American teenager balancing college aspirations, societal expectations, and a hectic home life anchored by his single mom and five uncles.
Primo is a great comedy series where no matter the age, all the characters are given room to grow. Watching each member of the Gonzales family approach life's thresholds open-mindedly to improve themselves was inspirational.
Ignacio Diaz-Silvario makes the most confusing, painfully funny expressions, and with every cringe-worthy mistake, I found myself laughing, wincing, and watching the television side-eyed.
Christina Vidal sets an inviting, fun-loving uplifting mood with her performance as the matriarch of the family. The uncles, Rollie, Mike, Ryan, Jay, and Mondo, are the kind of relatives viewers will quickly identify within their own family. The cast, writers, and showrunners perfectly utilize the adult characters and their behavior to create a funny, relatable journey for Rafa.
And now I'm wondering if I should be stashing money in my winter coats.
Thanks for making it this far, and if you watch this series, comment below, and let me know your thoughts.
