Ignore the bad reviews. Given some of the snarky comments, I would say that they were politically based because it is a mostly Spanish-speaking comedy produced by Lorne Michaels, rather than creditable critiques of the actual content of the show itself.
If you like Fred Armisen and the type of off-beat humor portrayed in Portlandia, you will like this. Really quirky and funny dialogue & situations complimented by good acting.
I binge-watched the whole first season in one setting. The only reason I gave it 8 stars instead of 9 is that I am not a fan of subtitles - regardless of the underlying language or who produces it. I did find myself having to pause the video a lot to read the longer subtitles. But even with having to do that - loved the show itself.

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!

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.
Los espookys is a hilariously creative show. Every moment is oddball humor. I don't know who writes the dialogue, but I bet they're hilarious and fascinatingly bizarre IRL, because the humor is a dramatic departure from the norm of other comedies. Like, just now, I'm watching it, and a character walks I'm from the store, having bought ONLY carrots. Like, why 😂
When it was first announced and advertised, they made a big deal of Fred Armisen being in it, but he's literally the worst part of it (Not your fault Fred- it's just that the rest is so darn good!). The ensemble cast plays off each other very well, and it's just a non-stop laugh fest- and I can't stop smiling through the whole show.

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