Jun 18, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The host may not be as versatile as Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, but his sketch ideas... make up for his limited arsenal of impersonations. Jun 17, 2019 | Full Review… Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune Top Critic [Arturo Castro] takes what he's learned navigating life as a Latin millennial in the U.S. -- and then adds in robots, dad energy and border patrol officers, to hilarious effect. Apr 20, 2020 | Full Review… Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com Top Critic The series demonstrates the usual season one unevenness, but [Arturo] Castro's strongest sketches are the ones where he grasps acts of cultural appropriation, racism and bias by the horns and gives them a good shake. Jul 22, 2019 | Full Review… Melanie McFarland Salon.com Top Critic In "Alternatino," Castro's finely tuned and wide-ranging sense of humor is on full display. Jul 15, 2019 | Full Review… Marc Silver Washington Post Top Critic Ugly topics like this are, arguably, the ones that comedy should be taking on, but when the bits don't work it's rough. When they do click, however, there's a satisfying jolt. Jul 2, 2019 | Full Review… Emily Nussbaum New Yorker Top Critic Alternatino isn't yet as sharp as Key & Peele or Inside Amy Schumer, but it's on the right track in its first season. Dec 3, 2019 | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff Vox Arturo Castro's hilarious sketch comedy mixes the personal and the political, this week including an opening spoof on immigration and a bit where a climate change trade agreement dissolves among a not-so-United Latin Nations. Jul 2, 2019 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider Sharp satire, some language in hilarious Latinx sketch show. Jun 26, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Overall, Alternatino with Arturo Castro is a worthy summer watch. Jun 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Ade Adeniji AdeAdeniji.com All around personable in his performance, Castro seems more comfortable in sketch-land than the plotlines. His comedic performance never disappoints, ranging from good to great. Jun 18, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Caroline Cao Slashfilm A funny, fresh comedy half-hour, "Alternatino" offers some welcome laughs amid the drama-heavy diet of summer TV. Jun 12, 2019 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette View All Critic Reviews (15) Audience Reviews for Alternatino With Arturo Castro: Season 1 Feb 16, 2020 Worthy successor to Key & Peele. Sheikh T Nov 23, 2019 Best comedy sketch series I've watched in a very long time. Arturo is super charismatic and the humor is light-hearted, even though it often dwells on tricky subjects. I really enjoyed this first season. Guilherme O Oct 06, 2019 This show is so bad and not funny at all. Simn U Sep 07, 2019 Latin Chappelle show. Jason L Aug 22, 2019 Brilliant! Haven't seen smart comedy like this in years. Nevena G Jul 12, 2019 The first episode is absolutely hilarious all the way through. Subsequent episodes have their moments, but are not consistently funny. I still like this show. Diane H Jul 03, 2019 Typical, High RT ratings = boring/bad. Its not funny, badly written and totally underwhelming. It always feels like there are onto something funny only to fall flat down into lame land.
