What's the Story?
FANTASMAS follows Julio Torres as he searches for a missing oyster earring, encountering a wild cast of characters along the way.
Is It Any Good?
Julio Torres has a way of creating crowd-pleasing work that feels like it exists in its own universe. Following up the low-key success of Los Espookys, Torres' Fantasmas takes sketch comedy tropes and chases them down new avenues. With a seemingly endless amount of guest stars in inspired roles (like a Real Housewives parody starring Emma Stone, Rosie Perez, Rachel Dratch, and Cole Escola), the series is more surreal than laugh-out-loud funny, but it's perfect late-night entertainment with a unique, potent point of view.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about Julio. Who is he? What do we learn about him by following him in his day-to-day life? What are his values?
What type of world does Fantasmas take place in? How close is it to reality? What are some of the unique features or rules of this world?
