spoke of the cancelation of the rare series with a Latinx cast, its legacy of representation and its timeliness as the type of show that is “necessary during these times.”
For years, Latinx stories were limited to drug cartels, maids and the ‘spicy latina’ sex object. I credit ABC for letting us tell the story of a loving, wholesome and hilarious Cuban-American family on network TV. I praise them for allowing the youngest daughter Natalie’s LGBTQ storyline be central to our show. I am also forever grateful to them for casting me, an Indigenous woman, as the lead female role. Noa Hamilton was not written for a woman of color, but they cast me anyway.
Kelley’s co-star Lisa Vidal also has been vocal on social media about the void in Latnx representation that the cancellation ofleaves, rallying fans to sign the petition, while also posting encouraging updates about ongoing outreach to streamers to pick up the series., who executive produced last year’s ABC drama series, it had a late spring/early summer launch and was canceled after one short season.
I lament it because it was a fun show too!
This show deserved to be cancelled. Low ratings because of boring, tired story telling. Acting by lead female lacked substance and grit. If it had been purely focused on the family and their bakery it could've worked as all of those people were solid actors and had great chem.
