Steve Greene IndieWire Through it all, though, "Acapulco" is a skillful comedy, too. There's a strain of tenderhearted goofiness to go along with some very funny setups. Rated: B+ Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Danette Chavez AV Club Acapulco allows these tensions to rise naturally-never forcing a happy resolution, but also not belaboring the friction. It's a well-balanced show with an endearing lead performance and a whole roster of equally charming supporting players. Rated: B Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian Drama aside, the overall effect is gentle, sunny and laidback, and the show wears its easy charm well. Acapulco doesn't reinvent the wheel, but Las Colinas is a most pleasant place to spend some time. Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Benjamin Gummery Indie Mac User The picturesque setting works well visually and is certainly charming but lacks some of the substance and elevation we have come to expect from Apple shows such as Ted Lasso. Rated: C+ Oct 16, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Some of the scenarios sound like vintage TV Guide listings for episodes of The Love Boat or Fantasy Island, but what makes the show work is that it's sweet without ever being cloying, and smart without ever being smarmy. Rated: 3/4 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net If you are looking for a feel-good binge Acapulco is just the ticket. Don't miss it.

Aaron V As a member of Gen-Z, I didn't get the chance to experience the '80s for myself. My parents grew up during that golden era, chock-full of timeless music and media. Acapulco does a great job of bringing that nostalgia to life, with digestible episodes that teach life lessons and give us laughs along the way. While different in its own ways, Acapulco as a show reminds me a lot of Ted Lasso, in the best way possible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Antonio V A great series ' funny ' heart warming and shows how we Latinos are ' apple once again hits it right on the mark ' I highly recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Josh R This show is great! I would highly recommend to family and friends. The actors are hilarious and the story line is put together so well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Leslie Ann K All three seasons of Acapulco warmly embrace viewers with creative and whimsical storylines. This clever telenovena series serves up a perfect cocktail of bright 80’s nostalgia and thoughtfully crafted characters. All characters are captured in their different elements, from Maximo to Don Pablo to Lupe. This production is a welcome counterbalance to the docudramas and news. Las Colinas es un excelente destino de televisión! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Sofia S Lots of shenanigans. Cute. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Arlen B I didn’t know about this series until I saw ads for season 3. Wow what a great show. I’m binging this one.
