A big-hearted charmer. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 06/23/2022
“Gordita Chronicles” is as charming as it is often obvious; indeed, one might say its obviousness is part of its charm. Go to Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety 06/22/2022
It doesn’t lose its balance -- throughout, it tells its story with an un-jaded, charmingly direct approach, aided by the excellent work of the child performers. Go to Full Review Josie Meléndez The Mujerista 07/12/2022
8/10
It’s interesting to see the family face struggles, stereotypes, and discrimination while still being able to maintain a wholesome and often uplifting tone. There’s also an added sprinkle of cut-throat comedy, unafraid to be wickedly socially conscious. Go to Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 07/09/2022
Olivia Goncalves delivers a break out performance as the bold and aspirational Cucu Castelli. Savannah Nicole Ruiz, goes on a particularly profound journey of self-discovery, navigating fake friends to find her true passion. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 07/06/2022
4/5
The humorous series, which is narrated by the now-adult journalist Cucu, is a fish-out-of-water story that highlights what life was like for many Latino immigrants who moved to the U.S. in the 1980s. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jim H @RT43047057 02/19/2025 What do you get when with this "mezcla" mix in Miami? A little Spanglish, a healthy dose of chaos, and a whole lot of heart! Super cute! Why can't we have more shows like this, that are just so easy to watch? Bring it back, pronto! See more Lili M @RT82157602 09/09/2024 I wasn't expecting much. I thought it might be just for kids or a little cheesy. But I was pleasantly surprised and was cracking up...loudly! It's funny & I love the cast!! I binge watched 6 episodes & stayed up too late! But now I'm happy that I have 4 episodes left. This sucks that it's ending or canceled!! Darn it I want more! 😁 ❤️👍🏽 See more Red R @Redfox 09/11/2022 It's an amazing show. We need this kind of shows with humor, about life, family, struggles and the beauty of life. I really hope the series will continue. We have enough bad things happening in the world, and we have enough zombie and violent movies and tv shows. And people who don't like this and say horrible things about this show are sad, alone people. buuuu See more 08/11/2022 We need more seasons! This show is super cute and funny. Great show to watch with my kids. They absolutely loved it (9y and10y) and are so disappointed that we got to the end of first season and HBO canceled it. Please bring it back. Wonderful show with great actors and writing. See more 07/06/2022 Charming and sweet. Two words that best describe the show "Gordita Chronicles". The show's concept was not new to us now but the cast and the whole story made it more interesting. All the actors in this series is perfectly casted for their roles especially Olivia Goncalves who is playing Cucu Castelli. Every episode is worth watching! I can't wait for its season 2! See more boop s @RT32472883 06/29/2022 Super cute family sitcom. Funny, lots of heart, well-done for the genre. The lead who plays Cucu is a really great performer for her age. Great show if you want something feel-good See more Read all reviews
