Sean L. McCarthy Decider Jan 9
This is a classic get-to-know-you debut special, and it’s fun not only to see how Hernandéz shines in the spotlight, but how expressive and emotional he gets displaying his love for his family and his culture. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Jan 8
It may be a lighthearted hour overall, but it's also more thoughtful and funnier than I expected. Go to Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Jan 7
1/5
the final product sounded exactly like those screaming goats from Thor: Love and Thunder. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Jan 7
3.5/5
Hernandez is still a green comic, and there’s room to tighten his material as he grows, but the fact that one hour in his company leaves you feeling as if you’ve been through some sort of assault course is going to make him hard to ignore. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jordan O @StrawberryDreams 2d All the bad reviews are from a bunch of sissy’s that got their feelings hurt over REAL FACTS. Show was fire, funny, great performance! See more Dave C. @Chase1399 3d Not funny. Not even a chuckle. Watched about 20 minutes of material that I can't connect with. I do like his work on SnL though. See more Katerina E @atram_xx 4d The part on women was a bit too long and cliché; also men still afraid of periods is yawn. See more Justin R @JustinRodrigues 5d Screamed at the camera for a solid hour then wrapped it up by saying white people do crimes that they make documentaries about. Like not even a solid punchline in the slightest. See more Sarah T @Trook 6d Incredible. I died laughing. I loved the high energy. It also felt like a dedication piece to his mother, which is very attractive! I loved how he spoke on real issues with such bold candor while maintaining comedy the entire way through. I was very impressed. This felt funny, exciting, real, and wholesome all at the same time. See more John H. @Hihner 6d For his first special, he did great. Was worthy of watching.
