I thought about my friends.
The first time I saw people like myself simply existing on-camera.
These oddities were presented at face value, as if they were ordinary ways of life.
Its rare that a TV show can extend into an identity.
And yetEspookysbled into my daily life, backgrounding important moments in my most formative relationships.
Existing in the same world asLos Espookyswas a blessing.
It made me realize I wasnt alone.
Many critics, includingour own Matt Zoller Seitz, have comparedEspookystoScooby-Doo.
And in the Latinx tradition of magical realism,Espookyss explorations of illicit phantasmagoria never once turned scary.
We may never see another show as warm and weird asLos Espookys.
Maybe it will have an everlasting fanbase a la other two-and-done comfort comedies such asDetroitersorFlight of the Conchords.
