Funny yet meaningful

Letting your little blind baby bird fly from the nest is as difficult for the loving overprotective parents as it is for Alexis to do. As the blind guy Alexis gets more pity while Charly, who puts on all the hard work, gets more direct derision. Having been disabled for a couple years after being hit by a car (a theme revisited many ways in this series) I fully appreciate the "otherness"feeling that drives the sensibility of this series so carefully explored both for comedic and sentimental value. Alexis has done standup on Netflix so this feels semi autobiographical to me, and moving from Querétaro to CDMX is a classic story of going to the big city filled with danger and opportunity . Living in Mexico I appreciated the reality of living there (saw with friends from there too) and about Mexican society with the privileged young Whitezicans needing a "cause" to take up to overcome their guilt.

Real, gritty, fun and original this series really is a lovely surprise and refreshing!

A little gem

The story is about a young blind man and his best friend into their journey, to independance.

No one but themselves (barely) believes in them.

This show reminded me that, other people too have problems. It's something we often forget or tend not to think about. But we all do.

And this show delivered that message splendendly. While making me laugh too here and there.

Btw, Charly definttely stole the show!

Amazing cast too. I'd have loved to have more episodes and have the show spend more time on other characters.

They pretty much all deserved to get an episode on them. Also, I felt like that the show tried a lot of things with very little at their disposal.

With so many characters and only 8ep of 25min.. But they managed well. I guess they did because i'm hungry for more.

I hope that this show gets renewed for a second season!

Warning: Spoilers
I found this on accident today and I feel wrong laughing this much at jokes about disability, but I guess you get permission when the lead character us a blind comedian. I just love it! It is heartfelt and sincere. The characters are realistic and lovable. The dub over in English isn't very noticeable.

I enjoy how they put Mexico City in perspective. Most Americans fear Mexico now due to cartels, but it's actually a beautiful city.

The message is universal. It's scary to let your children be independent when you know the world is a cruel place, but our children often surprise us and learn how to cope with life thru experience, disabled or not.
