00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.680
Will the themes in Gordita
Chronicles resonate with

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:04.640
modern families?

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:06.160
[Music plays]

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:07.840
"For a country that calls
itself "Land of the Free",

00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:09.200
this place sure is
expensive."

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.160
Absolutely.

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:11.040
"Don't I know!"

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:13.840
Set in the 1980s, this
immigration-themed

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:16.720
comedy series centers on a
young girl who moves with her

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:20.000
sister and parents from the
Dominican Republic to Miami.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.360
"Give America a chance!"

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:24.400
Geared toward kids of all stripes,
the show serves up good

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:27.600
messages about open
communication, perseverance,

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.840
and always being true
to yourself.

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:33.440
It also uses humor to address
challenges faced by Latinos,

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:37.680
including stereotypes, racism,
classism, and assimilation.

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.600
"Call Ashley's mom- she
has more money than us."

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.440
As for iffy stuff, expect some
references to sex, heavy kissing

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.360
among teens, plus bullying and
mean comments, but not much

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:48.480
older kids can't handle.

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:49.680

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:54.240
Common Sense says Gordita

and we’ve named it a Common
Sense selection.
