Review of This Fool

This Fool (2022–2023)
10/10
A glimpse to my life

As horrible as it sounds, it felt like I was living my life through a camera lens but through Julio's life. LOL.

The ominous birthday song killed me, I bursted out laughing as soon as they started chasing Julio with a cake. Even the part where the sister's birthday was forgotten was relatable.

This show was insanely funny, so relatable, not "gentrified," heart-warming, and not political. Easily, this show became a favorite. This Fool reminds me of The Last OG but with Mexicans. Another funny show to check out. The dark humor was perfect as well, not too cringy.

There have been many shows that depict the Mexican-American life or Chicano life but this show has felt more at home because it's not so polarized with LA influences. The show was filmed in LA but the "neighborhood" tones felt like they could've easily filmed it in your "hood."

It's unfortunate that these other Latino shows didn't make it, but I have high hopes for this show. Eventually, I would like to see something similar but with the perspective of a real Chicana. (Broad City with Chicanas.) 😇
