I just found this show during my free trial of AppleTV+ and I've managed to binge most of it in a single night. I'm already glad there's gonna be a second season coming out soon! So, not only is this show a throwback to the 80s in terms of aesthetic, it's a throwback to the days of writing character arcs that don't move too fast or aren't chopped up. Every person has a reason to be on screen and advance the story, which never lulls. Between the story, acting and production values, I can't really ask much more from a show. Glad I started it, and I will continue watching. Kudos to everyone involved!

I get that these days series have to be either controversial, political or "squid game" brutal to differentiate themselves but I think we need more of these easy watch good feeling series right now. Yes it's not realistic, yes could be better but it's enjoyable, characters are likeable and the visual are fun, so yes let's not be overly critical about it and compare it to other series out there who are trying to push the boundaries. So far so good!

Main character is adorable. This is a sweet goofy show. Not a serious series so take it for what it is.

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. I get if you don't find the resort pool-boy setting interesting, but 1 star?? It feels like some of these people just don't like Apple focusing on a Mexican family. It's not even all Spanish.

Anyway, the show is pretty simple, with an older version of the main character narrating the story to his grandson, which is a bit cliched, but the story has heart and I found myself laughing a few times.

The people that are giving this show bad reviews really don't know what they are talking about. I don't want to assume but I feel that most of the hate comes from the show being bilingual. I hope they get a season 2. I'm invested now.
