The show’s success is in the clear tenderness it extends to the Gonzales family, allowing each member to be more than a type and rejoicing in their bonds. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture 05/19/2023
If what you want out of a streaming comedy is no longer being fulfilled by some of the baggier or darker options that have gotten a foothold in the last few years, Primo is what you’re looking for. Go to Full Review Manuel Betancourt AV Club 05/19/2023

Serrano has carefully built a wry love letter to his upbringing, turning what surely felt like nagging family obligations into sitcom-ready plots and concocting a comfort watch that puts a Mexican-American family front and center along the way. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Primetimer 08/06/2023
A family comedy that's sweet without being saccharine, smart without grinding its gears to make a point, and, best of all, incredibly funny. Go to Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked 07/20/2023
So many family sitcoms put audiences off by failing to nail their tone. Too acid and you get Two and A Half Men. Too treacly and it’s The Brady Bunch. Shows like Primo, that (unlike Drea) get the recipe right immediately are so rare and so special. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) 07/07/2023
This eight episode series is not laugh out loud but it is humorous, heartwarming, and full of character. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
