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.

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!

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!

A true gem

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

I loved every minute!

If you love Fred Armisen humor, you'll love this! I do, so I loved it.

My only complaint is that the English captions for the Spanish are way off. I'm not an native speaker, but I took Spanish in high school, and even I could tell the transitions were wrong.
