Reviews

Luis received mixed reviews upon its release. On IMDb, the show holds a rating of 5.4/10, reflecting a lukewarm reception from viewers. Critics praised Luis Guzmán’s charisma and natural comedic presence, often highlighting his performance as the show’s strongest aspect. However, many reviews noted that the writing and overall pacing felt inconsistent, with some episodes struggling to fully capitalize on its unique premise. The show’s humor was regarded as occasionally uneven, and some found the situational comedy too familiar or formulaic. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Luis does not have a critic consensus due to a limited number of critic reviews, but user scores align with the IMDb rating in reflecting modest appreciation without overwhelming enthusiasm. Metacritic does not list the show, indicating a limited critical footprint. Overall, Luis is appreciated particularly by fans of Luis Guzmán and those interested in character-driven urban comedy, but it failed to make a significant impact critically or commercially.
