I started watching the first season of Primo because Im a fan of both Shea Serrano and Mike Schur. I finished it in 2 days because it is so fun and funny.
Great characters and lots of jokes, all centered on a family you just want to keep getting to know, what more could you want? I kept changing my mind on which was my favorite uncle, they're all funny and also all sort of remind you of people you know. This is all a testament to the writing and the casting of the show, which is top notch.
My only complaint is I wanted more episodes! The first season delivers 8 episodes, which definitely leaves you wanting more.
If you are a fan of family comedies I can't recommend it highly enough! Go check it out!

This story is so good combining quirky, funny with serious, and heartwarming. The acting is superb with each character well thought out, deep, joyful, and each unique!
The story is centered around a teen boy Rafa Gonzalez and his family, his mother Drea, and 5 uncles whom his mother raised since she was 12, Rollie, Mike, Ryan, Jay, and Mondo. Drea is the head of the family, and all her brothers adore her and their nephew Rafa.
The uncles all have unique personalities and points of view that cause them to quarrel and yet always come together, supporting and loving each other while teaching their nephew about life.
Their story will keep you laughing and watching.
I am so looking forward to this series continuing.

The only bad thing about this show is that season one is over! Sorry for the gotcha title review, but now that you're reading this, seriously go check out this show! If you want a perfect balance between comedic and heartwarming, with so many quips you'll be ready for a rewatch immediately upon finishing as well as enough heartstring-tugging moments to feel like a balm for the soul, then sit back and let the Gonzales family into your home and into your hearts. The writing, the acting, the situational family chaos that ensues, is all so well done. This show is truly about showing up for the people you love and I sure hope we get a confirmed second season soon.
Great show about a family making it work amongst a cast of characters that each have their own unique stories and attributes.
The struggle is real for the main character Primo, a teenager growing up in surburban Texas. The young Ignacio Diaz-Silverio plays the role of Primo as a typically insecure high schooler trying to figure out his future, manage his crazy family, and maybe get the girl! He is definitely the straight man but definitely gets jokes in with excellent comedic timing.
The family dynamic is where the show shines, as his 5 Uncles offer their own wacky advice for what he should do with himself. My favorite of his uncles is a hilarious stonerish hippy gliding through the universe.
The heart of the movie is his Mom that holds the family together that all the uncles make sure they are taking care of her when really it's the other way around.
Of course this all comes from the mind of Shea Serrano and his life story overlaps into the characters. The sly jokes and pop culture references keep you focused on the dialogue as the quirky characters make their way through hilarious family adventures mixed in with pull at your heart string moments of sweetness.
