It’s incredibly rare when a TV show has excellent values and hooks you so profoundly that you can’t wait to see every episode as soon as they are released. ACAPULCO mixes three ingredients and becomes the perfect summer treat. It has lovable TED LASSO-like characters, a telenovela-style plot, and a HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER mechanism that should keep audiences coming back for more.
As the third season of ACAPULCO draws to a close, it’s clear that the characters and the series have grown in quality. The potential finale of this season is a testament to this growth, with every character arc reaching a satisfying conclusion that will leave you feeling like “what the guest wants is what the guest got.”
Yet, out of all the characters I love, including Diane, Hector, Don Pablo, and more, the season MVP is still Esteban. Watching him go from what was essentially a background character in season one to the most lovable parent figure and supportive husband in season three is the highlight of my time spent at Las Colinas.
ACAPULCO is can’t miss TV, and I encourage all audiences to check in and relax this summer with the most overlooked fun new series available.
The entire third season is available to stream on Apple TV+.
