Los Espookys

Love every second of this show. Original and hysterically funny! The writers are geniuses and it is brilliantly executed.

I was so pleasantly surprised watching Los Espookys. I had watched a bad run of new shows/new seasons that left me angry or irritated. I kept hearing about this show but the plot didn't necessarily seem like something that would interest me. I'm so glad I finally caved and watched it. Los Espookys is a breath of fresh air. My only problem is that there are only 6 episodes! There is a very offbeat, quirky, artsy, dry sense of humor to the show. Imagine if April Ludgate and her strange friends from Parks and Recreation got the Portlandia treatment, but in Mexico. I've spent much of my life surrounded by strange people experiencing existential dread with odd yet funny personalities, so I found the characters relatable and very likable (or at east very amusing).

Yes there are subtitles, but as long as you are able to read at an adult level with no issues, they aren't a problem. Characters do speak fast and the pacing of the action is fast, so it's a show best viewed when you're able to pay attention - not exactly the kind of show you want to play in the background when you are doing chores.

I hope there are many more seasons of Los Espookys. I hope they are longer seasons. I hope I see more from the cast in the future.

This is a completely new brand of comedy that leaves me begging for more at the end of each episode. If you're a fan of "At Home with Amy Sedaris" or John Waters' films, you'll instantly get it. Very creative team of writers & performers. Watch it!

I loved this sublime absurdist masterpiece. It's catered towards a certain sense of abstract humour. It's a show that's intelligent and thoughtful. I've never seen anything with this unique vibe before. Perfectly balances the horror and humour.

The sets are absolutely gorgeous and the whole thing looks stunning and lavish! So many frames look carefully constructed and beautifully crafted.

The acting tends to be brilliantly understated & each unique character is deftly portrayed by the exceptional cast. The cast also has great chemistry between them and there are lovely relationship dynamics.

The Spanish language element really works well to add to the sense of alien-ness created by the show.

I just wish more episodes had been made. Totally underrated and needs to reach a much wider audience!

Don't expect "Los Espookys" to deliver the standard characters, plots and situations you've come to expect from decades of situation comedies.

Some things, well a lot of details in this show make no sense. But "sense" is for the real world and L.Es. is a delightfully unique show that puts the real world aside and glides through it's weirdness with pure delight and affection for its wonderfully "spooky" cast. And that affection is contagious. Try this series and see if you don't agree.

I look forward to each and every unique and sublimely clever episode!
