KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Shopaholic35 The show's funny but at times feels totes inappropriate. After the first episode it seems to calm down a little bit but every now and then my jaw drops. I mean the stereotypes are funny to a degree but after a while it's too over the top. For the most part it feels relatable though.The one thing that really bugs me is the way they have tried to turn Cristela into some moral goddess whose oozing substance. Reading books and not liking material things does not make you a better person. In fact she progressively judges everyone for not being as great as herself. I don't really need to be preached at in a 20min comedy each week.It's by no means a terrible show but it's nothing new and the episodes are hit and miss. It's really a Sunday afternoon comedy and they did the right thing by only having one season. Fine while it lasted, but not a necessary show.
wildflowerhoney I thought this might be a bit like "The Mindy Project", which I find (mostly) charming and amusing because it is character-driven humour. Cristela, alas, is stereotype-driven humour, which is to say, it is humourless.The laugh-track (or audience, not sure which) is annoying (let me be the judge of what is funny), stealing jokes from Winston Churchill (yes, really), and some not-so-great acting made me switch off half-way through. Personally, I am just not a fan of sexism, racism and fat-jokes. Every character here is a stereotype, from the blonde bimbo boss's daughter to the creepy boyfriend wannabe.Truly just a waste of time unless you like 70's style sitcoms.
oldtvfan139 The title says it all. This show does deserve an Emmy, a Golden Globe, or any other award. People may think that this is one of those "classic" formats, but it's a more modern and fresh approach to that. While John Mulaney's show flopped (and that is weird, because it was just as good), Cristela has had some moderate success with audiences.The show is hilarious, and I mean as funny as Lucy. Cristela's mother is the usual "Negative Nancy," who usually has something to complain about or compare it to her childhood village in Mexico (always using "In my village..."). Cristela and her co-worker, Josh, are obviously into each other from the pilot, and it's torture to see them not admit it! They are friends, but they like to tease and compete against each other frequently.ABC would be stupid to cancel this show. Bring on more!!!
dianany1996 It's hilarious. I feel like I am going back to the times when I watched George Lopez. Favorite character though is Gabriel Iglesias... Best comedian ever so I had to watch it because of him. Ended up loving it, I can't miss an episode. Although, I think he should be on more often. The episode of equal pay is my favorite. When he started making fun of Carlos Ponce. I made my dad watch it now he's into it as well. I can relate to it because I am Mexican, so when watching it I am like, me too. ha ha ha I recommend everyone to watch it. If you don't, you're missing out. If it gets removed, I will cry. So go and watch it every Friday at 8:30pm on ABC.
