2 cataloguedStory lines focused on the cousins’ love lives can feel a little too familiar; the female characters could use some more depth. But when the show is in its sweet spot, with Julio and Luis and sometimes Payne busting each other’s chops and getting in their own way, it’s as funny as anything you’re likely to watch in this cursed year for comedy.
I found myself streaming the whole season in a day, in part just to find out where the second season was heading. Because the second episode made that even less clear, somehow. Eventually, several of the characters you’d come to know and love from the first season to make their way back into the lives of Julio and Luis.
That show’s [Comedy Central's Corporate] acerbic energy is on display in This Fool, which reaches greater heights with chaotic yet compassionate takes on Julio, Luis, and their South L.A. community. Which is all to say: This Fool is this quite good—and it’s time everyone knew it.
