    A confident yet dawdling new dramedy.

    In many ways this first season feels like one long first act in a much bigger story about learning to define and embrace your identity. ... Still, thanks to Vida’s strong cast, no matter where things go, it makes us want to follow.

    Alas, Saracho, whose previous credits include “How To Get Away With Murder” and Lifetime’s Latina-driven “Devious Maids,” doesn’t offer much new or surprising about what motivates people who find themselves in such predicaments. The characters’ personal basic troubles and quandaries are simply stretched out and reiterated, and rarely affectingly probed.

It is a beautifully presented story of realistic people with realistic problems. The depth and honesty of the characters and their problems would be enough to make this series great. But Vida is also blessed with a sly wit and a welcome hopefulness. Miss this show at your peril.… Full Review »
