Hysterically Funny!

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!

IF YOU LIKE PORTLANDIA - YOU WILL LIKE THIS

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.

Simple relaxing humor

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

I watch this show with a permanent smile

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.

Special Show for Certain People

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!
