Web Series: LOS AMERICANSFor fans of...: Telenovelas; PARENTHOOD; Lupe Ontiveros, Esai Morales, Raymond Cruz or Yvonne Delarosa
What it is: An affluent Mexican American family overcomes obstacles.
What's good: Looks TV ready. Cast so strong (and famous) it had us doing doubletakes—more acting experience then most new television dramas. Fresh take on the American family.
What's great: Very real yet very dramatic. Character and plot reign over gimmicks and sentimentality. Manages to educate us about common contemporary struggles in a gripping and natural way. With every episode, we felt something and we learned something.
What could be better: Sound is uneven and occasionally distracting. First episode may be too expository.
Addictive like...: Bottles of Cuervo—neat
Grade: A-
Review based on: Episodes 1-4

I love LOS AMERICANS! It is another great web series from One Economy Corporation and Pic.tv! Great acting. It should definitely be on TV.
I also love their web series "DIARY OF A SINGLE MOM."
Los Americans is a great series. I applaud the creators, actors, and crew for delivering such a fine show.
The quality of each episode is the same as what one would find on primetime TV. PIC.tv should be applauded for another successful venture following Diary of a Single Mom and 9nine. I wish more people knew about this show.
This is one of my new favorite series and it's on the web! It is just all around one of the best shows I have seen in a very long time. The acting is superb, especially by the two leads, Esai Morales and Yvonne Delarosa. This is the new American TV family that needs to be seen on a network!
