This show doesn't have an original bone in its body, nor does it have anything interesting or insightful to say. Truthfully, it's just an inferior and uninspired version of so many other shows out there that are just like it and even worse, it's majorly out of touch with the actual problems facing Latinos today. The characters don't have any individuality or charm to them (mainly the young adult characters are guilty of this) and I find it really hard to care about any of them when they don't give us anything to resonate with.
Honestly, for a story that promised to bring the lives of marginalized Latinos to the forefront, as a Latino myself I'm hugely disappointed that this is what we got. The community quite frankly deserves better.
If you want a show about unlikable, unrelatable and spoiled rich people fighting amongst themselves, there is no shortage of shows doing that out there and that are, quite frankly, doing it so much better.
And if you're looking for a story about family, Latino values and the stories and characters that deserve more representation on the big and small screen... I can promise you you'll leave this show decidedly underwhelmed, upset and frustrated.
There's a huge difference between having something to say to contribute to the ongoing discourse and selfishly trying to capitalize on it without having something meaningful to add. Without a doubt, this show does the latter. Definite miss and to call it mediocre would be a compliment. Trust me, don't waste your time.
