Gordita Chronicles

After leaving the Dominican Republic to start anew in Miami, the Castelli family discovers that the American Dream is not so dreamy, as the family figures out how to fit in, make friends and thrive in the 80s.

Cucu finds herself in hot water again, this time for speaking Spanish in school. Víctor and Adela struggle to make good first impressions, while Emilia gets herself into a sticky situation while trying to keep up with The Bubblegums.

Cucu tries to kick-start puberty for herself, Adela gets pulled over for driving like a Dominican, and Emilia, who doesn't like scary movies, accidentally agrees to see a horror movie with the Bubblegum Girls.

The Castelli's experience an episode of American firsts: Cucu's first sleepover, Víctor's first American business dinner, and Emilia's first job.

The Castellis endure a tricky first Halloween when Cucu’s Dominican grandmother arrives. Emilia makes a horrifying discovery in the boys’ bathroom, and the Bubblegums help her get some brujería revenge.

The Castellis engage in cutthroat competitions at school, work, home, and a pool party.
