Primos
What's the Story?
PRIMOS is a coming-of-age show following the misadventures of 10-year-old Tater (Myrna Velasco), who lives in Los Angeles with her parents, grandparents, and two younger sisters. She's excited about this summer because she wants to work on an important personal project -- alone. But her plans have to change when all of her 12 cousins come to stay for the holidays. Now, Tater must navigate her frustration, find personal space and boundaries, and learn about the joys of family and community.
Is It Any Good?
If you've watched The Loud House or The Casagrandes you might feel a sense of deja vu with this new series. Primos is Disney's version of living in a big household and balancing conflict resolution with lessons on sharing and community. The show is well-made, but most of the time, it doesn't feel original. The best part of each episode is the musical sequence, which features catchy, insightful tunes with just the right amount of Latino pop.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about adaptability in a big household like the one in Primos. How does Tater deal with sharing her space? What changes does she have to make to her expectations?
Tater's family speaks Spanish but she doesn't understand it. How do you think that might affect her relationship with her family? Do you think speaking the same language helps people feel closer to each other and their culture?
Some of Tater's cousins seem stereotypical with only one layer of personality, like the dark teen or the smart kid. Do you think a single trait can define who someone is? Have you found that people's personalities tend to have many sides?
