While they excel much more in the light-hearted moments than the dramatic ones, the Lopezes, as co-leads, play effectively off of each other, making it easy to wonder which storylines have been mined from conversations in their own personal lives and which ones have yet to be had.
-
Lopez Vs. Lopez isn’t the “next great sitcom” or anything close. But the dynamic between George and Mayan Lopez is fun to watch, making up for the more generic parts of the series.
-
The opening episode of "Lopez vs. Lopez" feels a little strained, especially given how hard the laugh track is working to convince you that the show is hilarious, a hit from get-go. But as one would expect, the second episode (of two available for review) is more relaxed, even as the hijinks are more hectic. It's a decent, pro job.
-
There are enough interesting topical elements trying to find a platform to indicate some potential, but I'm more likely to check in at midseason or in a hypothetical season two than to see which show is breaking through on a weekly basis.

Meh traditional multicam sitcom.

Generational differences are among the few very predictable wellsprings of mainstream comedy; done right, they make for universally relatable humor. (After all, both kids and their parents will “feel seen” if it’s done well.) So it’s too bad “Lopez vs. Lopez,” a new sitcom on NBC, doesn’t clear the bar.
