I literally love The Casagrandes and I am addicted to watching it. This show is full of comedy, heart, awareness, loveable characters and families, and more. It's writing is incredible and the character ages are spot on to their personalities. So many lines are written for Carl that are so realistic to stuff that I said when I was little.
Also, we have never seen a Latino family represented in cartoon like this. This series has the same cultural consultant as Coco, Lalo Alcaraz, and since that movie was a huge hit, you know from that that there won't be stereotypes. This show in addition to a Latino family, also has a kid with down-syndrome, which is perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the show, and a ton of other characters and families of color. One of the first episodes of the show was literally about the down-syndrome kid, CJ, where they went to a pirate dinner show, where CJ wanted the opportunity to raise the flag, but a kid was giving him a hard time and he thought they had to let himself do it, which is an episode focusing around real world problems, which is incredible that they put that one out. It's not just a Hispanic show, the show features an entire community with different people of color. It's crew is also true to having Hispanic people writing and working on it, and I wouldn't know anything about Spanish culture and tradition without this show. I am an absolute fan of Spanish culture now.
This has now become my go to show and I am so addicted and happy when watching it. It definitely deserves way higher than a 6.5 in my opinion. The only thing I don't like, however, is Sergio, and some gross jokes, but that does not take away everything great from this series. I heavily recommend watching this show. Definitely give it a chance and I think it is great for the whole family.
It is so great to finally see representation in animation!
