He sees a way out of poverty, a chance to dream, an escape from the mundane. When his mother (Vanessa Bauche) looks at Las Colinas, however, she sees not just a den of sin, but a nest of sirens that will lure her children away for the superficial glory of serving white tourists who will forget their waitstaff the moment they fall out of view.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cAcapulco,\u201d a new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le TV Plus comedy from Austin Winsberg, Eduardo Cisneros and Jason Shuman, the truth lies somewhere in between. As a Las Colinas pool boy, Maximo\u2019s natural instincts and charm quickly make him a hotel staple, which helps him towards his goal of funding his mother\u2019s eye surgery. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> is also careful to point out how much every moment of indignity \u2014 and the hotel\u2019s insistence that \u201cwhat the guest wants, the guest gets\u201d \u2014 costs him and every other employee, day in and day out. One of the most obvious examples of this is how the series bobs and weaves between English and Spanish, which is im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely one of its most realistic and smartest attributes. Whenever native Spanish speakers are together, they speak in Spanish as they obviously would in real life. Whenever they\u2019re at the hotel in front of their white guests and bosses, however, they\u2019re forbidden from speaking Spanish and must speak in English. This immediate drawing of lines between staff and guests, \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem,\u201d is a key distinction for the series overall.<\/p>\n<p>Watching \u201cAcapulco,\u201d I ended up thinking about \u201cWhite Lotus,\u201d the recent HBO smash that takes place at a Hawaiian resort and splits its time between wealthy white guests and the staff who serve them. Both \u201cAcapulco\u201d and \u201cWhite Lotus\u201d are very good at slipping in moments of oblivious rich tourist privilege that cut like a knife, but unlike \u201cWhite Lotus,\u201d \u201cAcapulco\u201d is almost entirely unconcerned about who those tourists are. Aside from hotel owner Diane (Jessica Collins) and her himbo son Chad (Chord Overstreet), \u201cAcapulco\u201d is almost entirely about the local ecosystem the hotel dominates and the people caught in its wake, as few other shows are or would dare to be.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, this might not sound like a whole lot of fun. But \u201cAcapulco\u201d boasts enough sharp characterizations to make its gentle screwball comedy ping pong around the hotel with effervescent ease. In addition to Maximo, his mother, and rebellious sister (Regina Reynoso), there\u2019s his best friend Memo (Fernando Carsa), crush Julia (Camila Perez), and assorted hotel workers like his sleazy rival Hector (Rafael Cebri\u00e1n) and the laundry room\u2019s intimidating warden Lupe (Regina Orozco). The show\u2019s \u201980s setting is a factor (especially when it comes to wardrobe and music supervision), but not an oppressively wacky one as can often be the case in period comedies. (In this respect, it helps to have such a grounding influence as that of Dami\u00e1n Alc\u00e1zar, who plays the long suffering <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> manager with a firm hand and flashes of vulnerability.) Arrizon has a sunny screen presence that keeps his storylines afloat even when Maximo is at his lowest, and the show\u2019s writers get plenty of punchlines out of their unique workplace setting.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a step back, the shakiest aspect of \u201cAcapulco\u201d may be its choice to structure the series as a story Maximo is telling from the present day as an apparently extraordinarily wealthy man (played here by a very winning Eugenio Derbez, also an executive producer). This conceit inevitably sucks some of the tension out of the story; clearly, Maximo does well enough for himself that he can share his life story \u201cHow I Met Your Mother\u201d style with his nephew (Raphael Alejandro) from his beachside mansion as he tries to hit his annoying neighbor\u2019s yacht with a golf ball. But even when these flashes to the present don\u2019t quite work, they nonetheless share the rest of the show\u2019s bittersweet streak (why is Maximo living in this enormous house all alone?) and persistent ebullience (isn\u2019t it fun to be a Mexican millionaire with a devoted white butler?). Even as present day Maximo thinks he\u2019s telling a tale about his past, it\u2019s clear the story isn\u2019t quite over \u2014 which, given the overall delights of \u201cAcapulco,\u201d is welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The first two episodes of \u201cAcapulco\u201d are now available to stream on Apple TV Plus.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
