Reception
editAlberto Rey of El Mundo assessed that the costumbrista comedy television series sublimates the very Spanish me río por no llorar (lit. 'laughing just to keep from crying') aphorism into a work of art.[8]
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the series with 73 points ('good'), praising the "very agile" format and the editing (including the use of the mockumentary), while citing how the series deserved a better closing as a negative point.[9]
