This Fool

I saw this on my Disney+ home page (UK - it's on Hulu in the States), knew nothing about it, and decided to have a look. That day I watched half of season one! I'll be sad when I reach the end of season two, that's for sure.

I'm white and British, I know nothing of the lives of Mexicans in LA, but there aren't many comedies that have made me laugh as much and made me care about the characters so much too. Even the most far-fetched storylines feel believable, which is thanks to some strong writing and great performances.

I sincerely hope it'll keep going for more seasons. Please let it be so.

I am not Mexican or Latina, but so enjoyed This Fool - and all his family and friends. It was like being a fly on the wall and seeing absolutely everything - good, bad and ugly - which is usually seen as funny by someone in everyone's family! Watching the changes and growth in the group was a lot of fun and rewarding.

The one problem I had was with Julio's age. 31? Really? Are we fudging just a bit?

Please let there be more seasons in the offing. We need them, so we can laugh - at ourselves through them.

It's been awhile since the Mexican and Latino community had a SMART comedy series, and it has arrived.

For those saying it's offensive, you don't know Mexicans. If you're Mexican and find it offensive, well, I'm sorry for you. I almost peed my pants 10 times in the first episode.

I decided to watch the show because TikTok kept giving me ads for it honestly I wasn't disappointed. I liked how all the actors looked like real people. I found myself laughing a lot which I honestly rarely do with comedies and sitcoms that come out nowadays. But the plot and storyline were interesting and unique. It was unrealistic but also very realistic at the same time I don't know to explain it you'll just have to watch it and see. Julio is your unlikeable unbearable main character but you'll still find yourself rooting for him at times. Overall it's a pretty good show I hope it gets another season.

The actors are so good, the scripts so tight and funny, from a perspective I never knew I would love so much. Every character is so clearly defined and interesting and their stories shine a light on things I never considered. The visuals and art direction really shine.

But, most of all, it's really, really funny.
