John Doyle Globe and Mail 02/05/2020
The scope is modest, but the stories are large in a representative way, and sometimes funny and sometimes tragic. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 02/03/2020
And, thanks to the wise and humane writing, all of the episodes have the reach and breadth of full-length movies. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 01/27/2020
A gorgeously human series. Go to Full Review Cristina Escobar HipLatina 06/26/2021
Reminds us of the beauty, differences, and commonalities between immigrant communities Go to Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 07/03/2020
Inspired by true stories ..., the Apple TV+ series celebrates immigrants. Their culture, values, hopes, fears, dreams, perseverance, way of life, [and] search for an identity. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 02/14/2020
The key is in the chosen tone, without being showy or excessively sentimental. There's no big declarations other than the entrance to those private worlds, always seen with the eyes of those who arrive to stay. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cameron C @Cameronc 03/14/2023 Was nice to watch every now and then See more 10/05/2020 Earnest, preachy, not very entertaining. See more Adam H @Adm-supermarket 09/23/2020 Really nice collection of stories ... uneven, but there are some total gems. Heartwarming and life-affirming is not usually my lane, but I thoroughly enjoyed this overall and found it a nice change of pace from my usual fare of dark, brooding, and strange. See more Anna K @RT13660884 09/03/2020 A very well-written show with great characters and heartwarming stories. I honestly love that it keeps it real and points to serious issues and problems but at the same time it stays positive and wholesome. See more 06/20/2020 In between a documentary and a feature film, based on true stories and done with a flavour of experience from the immigrant group in questions, even with part of the story told in the native tongue. Each story has been told in an evocative manner, but with a totally consistent storyline, which I like in particular. Akin to accentuated cinema trend. Totally believable and nurturing hope in people's ingenuity, persistence and ability to understand each other. See more 06/06/2020 I loved this Show. Real stories with very good actors!!
