Wait! This Is Who We Wannabe!

Los Espookys on HBO.

 

 

Another entry in our They Get Us, They Totally Get Us! “series.”

“It’s unclear, at any given time, how ‘good’ these tricks are supposed to be — or, in a few cases, how the group even pulled them off. But the show isn’t really about the tricks; it’s about telling good jokes, and how these theatrical goofs give the wannabe magicians behind the curtain a sense of direction and meaning.

“‘Los Espookys’ is a horror show that bathes its characters in sunlight, a surreal comedy whose absurdism is outmatched only by the quietly earnest tenderness its writers clearly feel toward the characters they’ve created.
