Critics Consensus
There's no reason to pity This Fool, which resoundingly succeeds as an unsentimental comedy about community and family… and what a pain in the neck they can be.
Judy Berman TIME Magazine The show’s grounding in a neighborhood and a culture, with dialogue shifting fluidly between English and Spanish, keeps it from ever feeling like something we’ve seen before. Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune The performances on the show are full of small but sly moments, and even actors with supporting or one-off roles are given room to bring a little extra something, be it an unexpected line reading or facial expression. Rated: 3/4 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture Although streaming comedies haven’t yet settled on an ideal number of total seasons, a just world would give us several more years of This Fool. Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Ally Ham The Review Geek Estrada and Quinones are a near-perfect comedy duo. Rated: 8/10 Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Diego Peralta The Spool The show has plenty of heart and laughter, solidifying itself as one of the year’s funniest comedies. And its cultural environment is fleshed out by several lovely new characters, who might just become your favorites. Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media This funny series offers an honest portrayal of a relationship between two cousins who are both friends and foes.

Hilario G Hulu please make more seasons this show is Gold... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Calvin O This movie was fun I really liked it, but what u should know is "language" I don't recommend it if children are near while watching, u won't like it but I will love the series 😄😄😄👍🤣 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Davide V Hilarious! I can't believe this got canceled. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review ALEXLOBOLOCO GREAT SHOW! PLEASE RELEASE SEASON 3!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review christina h As comedies go, This Fool is gold. I went in not expecting much but a few background laughs, but this was more poignant, intelligent and ambitious than I hoped for. I watched a lot of this at the gym and nearly fell off the stairmaster during a few gags, and it gets good early on. An episode about a planned gang fight is insane. But I dare say the second season is even better. The caveat is that I expect certain viewers — look, a lot of people don't share my dark sense of humor or (yet) get the references about getting "older," etc. so it might not be for everyone, but This fool was a sharp and sweet delight imo. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Devin M This show feels is such a gem. Super rewatchable and had me belly laughing a lot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
