Gentefied

Being a middle aged white male from outside the United States I'm probably not the target demographic but I find this show charming. Some of its themes are universal: family, community, cultural clashes, economic pressures, trying to live your values under challenging circumstances. These are things a lot of us can relate to in our own context.

The backdrop of the show is about creeping gentrification into a Latino community in L. A. centered around a cast of characters tied together by family and their local taco shop. There are a lot of political themes around class and culture that come up that may turn off some people but I never found any of it heavy handed even in instances where I didn't agree with the messaging.

The cast is solid and the characters are well developed. I particularly enjoyed watching Karrie Martin as Ana, she lights up the screen in every scene she's in. I hope to see more of her. Glad to see its getting a second season.

I seriously love this more and more. Casimoro is one of the best most loveable characters, honestly, love them all. Cant wait for more

Love this show for real. Hope there's a third season. If u liked the Netflix special on my block and Spanish comedy you'll like this, also nice to see some queer representation for poc women.

It's heart felt aswell. Easy to binge in a day. Love seeing gay and trans characters good to see people like me on screen finally. Truly a good show.

About time someone created a TV show like this, funny, humor, family with Hispanic culture, old school with New school. I Loved this TV show and kept me Laughing😂

I have watched the gentrification of my area (Portland, Oregon) and this is a big problem here. Although the people affected in my area are African-American, the issues they are facing are the same. There have been proposals in Portland to pay reparations. However, that is not the issue. People are losing their homes and entire way of life and throwing money at it doesn't solve the underlying problem. I do have to say this show is very depressing and at times, hard to watch. I actually am taking a break as I write this. I think the message needs to be heard. Gentefied has great acting and the show really captures what it is like in East L.A. which is a vibrant, culture-rich community whose citizens are just trying to survive and live the American Dream. If you can get past the first few episodes, you WILL be rewarded!
