How to watch This Fool online: stream the new comedy from anywhere
Chris Estrada stars in this irreverent new Latinx comedy
This Fool features comedian Chris Estrada as Julio Lopez, a conflict-averse worker for a gang-rehabilitation programme whose older cousin Luis (Frankie Quinones, Mr Mayor) is moving in with him after eight years behind bars. You can expect lots of laughs in this odd-couple drama, and below we explain how to watch This Fool online – and FREE for 30 days on Hulu if you’re a new subscriber.
Series debut: Friday, August 12, at 12:01am ET
Starring: Chris Estrada, Frankie Quinones, Laura Patalano, Michelle Ortiz, Julia Vera, Michael Imperioli.
Watch FREE online: in the US on Hulu with a 30-day FREE trial
International streams: Disney Plus via Star (CA, UK, AU)
Pitting hugs versus mugshots, Julio tries to reform ex-gang members working for a non-profit group: encouraging big boned, heavily tatted men and women to practice yoga and bake cupcakes in pink aprons. He’s seen as a bit of a soft-touch – a “punk-ass b***h” is how the participants phrase it, because he's still living at home and highly averse to confrontation. Maybe living with Luis will toughen him up!
In addition to starring, Estrada created and wrote the show for Hulu – determined to represent more Latinx talent on its streaming service – while the series’ executive producers include the brains behind workplace satire Corporate, and Portlandia’s Fred Armisen (who appears in just about everything!)
Also starring Michelle Ortiz (Gentefied) as Maggie and Julia Vera (Will & Grace, My Name is Earl) as Maria, This Fool should be hilarious and the perfect vehicle to showcase Estrada’s comedic talents. Just read on below as we explain how to watch This Fool online now – exclusively on Hulu in the US.
