"Some things of the internet should just stay on the internet"
Mexican animation is very recognized around the world by its movies and tv shows. On the internet, many Mexican people whose passion is animation, show to the world their creativity and passion to the ideas and projects that the have related to animation. In YouTube, many people from around the world make and upload animated videos or webseries for all ages, for kids or for teenagers and grown ups. "La Familia Del Barrio" was a very good project to start in YouTube. You do not see so many Mexican adult shows. So, this was a very good way to start this new trend.
But a rule many TV networks are not following (and they should be following) is: "Some things of the internet should just stay on the internet..."
"La Familia Del Barrio", seen in a real perspective, it's a very, very bad show, even tho many people like it.
It's animation and voice acting is poor and awful, the storylines are simple, its jokes can be tedious and repetitive sometimes and the plots and characters are too predictible...
It's humor, consists on cursing and showing gross and vulgar humor. It's a show that teenagers from 12-17 year olds like to watch. For example, the thing that is "supposed" to be funny in the show is that the characters curse. Obviously, the swearing of the show it's not the problem of the series. In fact, that's a thing that characterizes many adult TV shows. The problem is that the forced cursing and swearing IS the only thing the shows has to offer as its comedy and humor. Nothing else.
As a Mexican, I saw that another dissapointing thing about the show is that its social commentary on Mexico and its people is made in poorly way. The social commentary could have saved the show's reputation, but it just made it worse!
But, the shows has some pros tho...
For example, the writers really know how to offend people with its cursing and jokes and sometimes can be a very good show if you like gross out humor or forced swearing. But the show doesn't have dark humor or good social commentary.
In conclusion, "La Familia Del Barrio" is a forgettable show with poor social commentary on Mexican society and life and with a poor attempt on dark humor. This show is just to make you feel like a 12-17 teenage kid who just likes comedy with swearing and vulgar scenes. If you like this type of shows, that's ok. But if you want to watch a really good adult animated TV show, La "Familia Del Barrio" is not the show for you.
If you want to see good adult TV shows with dark humor, good writing, better animation and better social commentary, you should watch South Park, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman and even Family Guy.
This shows just shows that some things of the internet should just stay in the internet...
