It is exactly the right balance of stupid and sweet and realist and heightened.

The premisereads like the logline of a beautiful, warm-hearted multi-cam from a bygone era.

The titular Primo is 16-year-old protagonist Rafa, called Primo by his family.

Some of the uncles live in the house; some of them are just around all the time.

But all of them are delightful bizarro-world comedy characters.

Mondo (Efrain Villa) is the high-even-when-hes-not uncle who sells statues of dicks at the local flea market.

Rollie (Johnny Rey Diaz) is the uncle perpetually getting into trouble.

Mike (Henri Esteve) is a military-knucklehead throw in.

Ryan (Carlos Santos) is an ambitious bank teller who yearns to be taken seriously.

They all hang around together and get into scrapes.

No waffling or training wheels; no weak spots.
