THIS FOOL
Since THIS FOOL (trailer here) premiered on Hulu last month, I have been obsessed. The half-hour comedy is set in South Central Los Angeles and follows 30-year-old Julio (played by co-creator Chris Estrada) who works at Hugs Not Thugs, a fictional gang rehabilitation non-profit. His older cousin Luis (played by the incredible Frankie Quinones) has just been released from prison and not only moves in with Julio’s family, but also joins the Hugs Not Thugs program to get his life back on track. The LA-specific jokes are top-tier (Knott’s vs Magic Mountain for example), but the rivalry and evolving relationship between the cousins is what kept me literally laughing out loud and coming back for more.
