I'm a simple man that misses complex jokes. Which makes this show perfect for me. Actors are great, it's written well, shots look very smooth colors are very nice. Humor is simple straight forward. I feel that it helps to be in an open mindset to revive and appreciate all this show has to offer in humor and in the story plot line. I've almost failed high school Spanish yet I'm absolutely HOOKED on this show. I never knew I could enjoy a show of a language I hardly understand. 10/10 I would recommend this to anyone for a relaxing simple comedy
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 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.

Love every second of this show. Original and hysterically funny! The writers are geniuses and it is brilliantly executed.
This show is hysterical. It doesn't take itself seriously at all which is refreshing. I find myself constantly laughing. I don't know why people are downvoting this for subtitles as it's a super common thing now and doesn't at all interrupt viewing.
