In the modern city of Mexico, friends Andres, Tati and Úrsula have decided to come up with a terrifying process by creating an action that draws on the excitement and chills of a variety of people. After a meeting with Father Francesco, friends start their crazy mission by organizing the exorcism of people who suffer.
With the goth electronic soundtrack beating in the background, Los Espookys perfectly highlights a Latinx experience that I have never seen on American television.
Fabrega and Torres infuse every scene with so many rich and unexpected punchlines that there's truly no knowing where it might end up, making "Los Espookys" a comedic rarity.
Los Espookys is so deliciously ridiculous, so sweetly tender to its characters, and so wonderfully satiric, it has all the makings of a true cult comedy sensation.
The line between comedy and horror is often so blurry as to be non-existent, and the two subjects match up in a very appealing way throughout Los Espookys.
Los Espookys is a horror show that bathes its characters in sunlight, a surreal comedy whose absurdism is outmatched only by the quietly earnest tenderness its writers clearly feel toward the characters they've created.
The entire series has a tall-tale vibe. Characters are not merely defined by their obsessions, but in such a way that we're assured that entire, thriving subcultures exist to service and test them.
