REVIEW: In Hulu’s ‘This Fool,’ comedian ChrisEstrada85 plays a buttoned-up counselor to ex-gang members navigating his days alongside his goofy ex-con cousin.
as Leonard Payne, the minister who runs Hugs Not Thugs — and conflicts, particularly the philosophical one between the two cousins. But once all the foundation has been laid, it displays an appealingly loopy comic sensibility that makes for a very amusing late-summer binge.
The second episode, for instance, finds Luis crossing paths with a former rival and trying to assemble his old crew for a fight in the park. But he quickly finds out that many of them are either dead or reformed; the best that one of them can offer are the services of his tap-dancing, musical theater-loving middle school son, who’s excited to be living out all hisfantasies.
The show is Estrada’s first significant acting role, and he can be rough around the edges at times, especially whenever Julio has to deliver exposition. But he and the rest of the creative team understand what’s innately funny about the character , and also what a good straight man Julio makes for the more reckless and outsized antics of Luis, well played by Quiñones.
Payne is used at times to comment on the innate struggles of running a nonprofit, and the income inequality that makes so many of them necessary. But the show is generally more interested in the life immediately in and around Julio’s mother’s home than in larger issues; when Esperanza has a dream about her hero Ronald Reagan, the primary subject is whether she should keep making her family use the cheap and abrasive toilet paper she brings home from her job as an industrial cleaning lady.
