The Episode Review
But the show’s standout moment comes when Julio and his nephew, Santiago, team up to take on their godmother. The two of them are hilarious as they bicker and argue about who gets to fight her. It’s a great moment that really captures the absurdity of the situation.
In the end, we see some character growth for both Julio and Luis-however permanent or impermanent that may be.
