Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but there is a Lucha LIbre style wrestling figure in a mask called The Black Scorpion (J. R. Villarreal) on the scene to slam the bad guys.
Violet (Scarlett Estevez) follows the exploits of this Hispanic hero, and, while attending a street fair, finds herself attracted to a purple mask, which comes to her. As she puts it on, she suddenly transforms into Ultra Violet, a pink haired, purple suited speed machine!
Of course Violet doesn't really know what she's doing but still knows to document her actions on social media because she did it for the likes! When she turns up at the same crime scene as Black Scorpion, she wants to find out about him, and when she races behind to follow, she discovers he is her own Uncle Cruz!
Black Scorpion didn't have any help to become the hero he is, but was willing to teach and train Violet in the ways of handling crime. But Violet also wants to keep up her fan base and show them exciting adventures on her livestream. That certainly creates fails.
The tightrope that Violet has to walk, between her basic family home life and school work, her training in heroism and catering to her growing audience of viewers is a balancing act worthy of the Luchador she is becoming. And Violet's charming, caring and genuinely funny approach to everything she's working on makes this an entertaining watch.
Props to Violet's best friend Maya (Zelia Ankrum) who tags along to get some primo footage of Ultra Violet in action, Violet's mom (Marianna Burelli) who offers some genuinely useful advice and some appropriately motherly comfort, and the two title performers, who have a chemistry that is both genuinely funny and provides some life lessons without it turning into some kind of lecture. There are a lot of areas to explore, and with the Mexican family life, featuring the food, flavor and fun that all implies, it offers more substance than just a standard sitcom.
Between the wrestling training, the crime fighting and the social media, this might be the most action packed Disney series, ever!
