To say Los Espookys is easy to watch might sound like damning it with faint praise, but it takes serious skill to conjure up a world this strange, and make it look so easy.

Their unconventional plans are delightful to hear, just as the singular execution is a treat to watch unfold.

The jokes are fast-paced and tinged with absurdity; at its best, Los Espookys can feel like a half-hour telenovela assembled in the 30 Rock writers’ room. ... For all of its fantastical foolishness, Los Espookys is, at its heart, a comedy about friendship, following your passions, and fighting the urge to fit in.

By Kristen Baldwin FULL REVIEW

Jun 7, 2019

Clocking in at six episodes, the first season moves well, gets the details right, and packs in the laughs at every turn. It’s never scary, and even its appreciation of a good scare, which leads to a gross-out gag or two, keeps the focus on the craft talent who made it happen.

By Ben Travers FULL REVIEW

Jun 18, 2019

With its light touch and affection for its characters’ foibles, “Los Espookys” is refreshing, different, and best, of all, funny.

By Kristi Turnquist FULL REVIEW

New York Magazine (Vulture)

Jun 14, 2019

It’s really the wry comic tone, lived-in comic performances, and quotable dialogue that make the series worth watching.

By Matt Zoller Seitz FULL REVIEW

Jun 13, 2019

As what you'd expect from the mind of Fred Armisen — quirky, strange, at times off-putting, at other times, engaging, and full of puckish charm.
