![]() I think comedy is at its best when coupled with heart. Watch for multiple lessons learned each episode. On top of the comedy, Primo boasts great focus on a family’s love, forgiveness and loyalty. Speaking of repetition, there are some fun long-running jokes that cleverly resurface in multiple episodes. The stories are quick-witted, and they move fast. With a short runtime and rapid-fire humor, it’s easy to miss some of the hilarity unless you watch again. I am already on my second watch of the series. When it comes down to it, the siblings learn from each other as much as Primo learns from his elders. Watching sister Drea trying to keep her brothers in line also generates an endless supply of jokes. Humor comes naturally from sibling rivalry, family secrets, competitiveness, the awkwardness of growing up, plus a dose of good old-fashioned immature jokes (like when one uncle teases another’s size by saying he has a “cute, tiny Lego body”.) The show also offers different pairings or groupings of the uncles for storylines, which keeps the comedy super fresh. And what will his new friend (maybe future girlfriend?) Mya think of his zany uncles? One-liners for daysįive uncles with unique personas makes for an abundance of laugh out loud comedy. Primo appreciates his family’s involvement, but it can also feel a little suffocating at times. ![]() Diaz-Silverio’s portrayal is relatable and heartfelt. Rest assured that Diaz-Silverio owns the role. Try not to get distracted by the striking physical resemblance between Primo (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio) and actor Tom Holland. But it makes for great comedy, plus their intentions are very much good. It can be a lot for a young man on the brink of first love. To say Primo gets a lot of advice would be an understatement. Rafa’s dad is long gone, but Rafa aka Primo has his mom and all his uncles rooting for him. But mom Drea (Christina Vidal) is one of six siblings, Drea plus her five brothers. Executive produced by Shea Serrano and Michael Schur, this comedy is smartly written and chock-full of pop culture references, sibling rivalry and good will. I am predicting that Amazon Freevee has another hit on its hands with Primo.
