What to Know

Critics Consensus

If at times a bit blunt, Gentefied's gente-centric approach to the realities of gentrification is as strikingly personal as it is hilariously relatable.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine 02/21/2020
Of the many series about immigration, gentrification and cross-cultural identities that have sprung up in the past several years, Gentefied is among the most astute. It only needs to trust that its cast will convey everything that's left unsaid. Go to Full Review

Black B 04/08/2023 Una telenovela chicana sería el título que le daría a está serie, o bueno a la crítica en general de está temporada. Ahora tengo un gran amor odio porque creo que aunque puede tomar algunas temáticas buenas la mayoría del tiempo todo lo que se dice de la cultura mexicana en está serie está muy alejado de la realidad, esto solo demuestra la cultura chicana de Estados Unidos y nunca vemos una verdadera cultura mexicana como la podemos ver en otras series de este género dramático y de telenovela, los personajes se dicen ser personas morenas y muy mexicana pero se ve a leguas que son hijos de mexicanos que aunque conocen el español se les dificulta muchísimo o lo hablan de la peor manera posible, debieron contratar todo el elenco como en el caso de Joaquín Cosió que es un mexicano que si habla bien español y que aunque trate el inglés no le sale, también escenas donde hablan con él y ellos hablan en inglés sabiendo que su padre está todo el tiempo hablando en español se me hacen insufribles, ya que si en verdad son personas que se identifican con sus raíces en esos instantes deben de mostrar que si son mexicanos y hablar español, no solo decir algunas palabras en español de vez en cuando como lo hace un chicano, aquí se nota que los productores son norteamericanos y que en verdad no conocen la verdadera cultura mexicana. La historia tiene algunos episodios bueno y otros malos pero la verdad son pasables, es como ver un drama o una telenovela ambientada en Estados Unidos pero con personajes que dicen ser mexicanos.

See more 11/13/2021 I really want the 3 season to come out and I think their is allot of life lessons in this movie and allot of young teens can learn from this movie and family life and it doesnt matter if your poor or rich you just need a good life See more 09/04/2021 It ain't great. Unlikeable characters, and kinda just plays up all racial stereotypes. See more Denner F 08/27/2021 Muito fraca. Esperava mais. See more Read all reviews
