Three best friends make their way up the music scene in a comedy created by Shea Serrano and Max Searle and produced by Daddy Yankee.

By now, the beats of an aspiring-musician saga are as familiar as those of a fairy tale. There’s the hungry young artist who seems marked for stardom long before the rest of the world has caught on. There’s the crappy starter apartment, and the glitzy industry parties, and the boardroom meetings with labels who don’t quite get it.

Sometimes, in the darker iterations of this story, there’s also the spectacular crash after the meteoric rise; in the more thoughtful or incisive versions, there might be conversations about the limitations of his art or the compromises it demands or its impact on the world. Butis not that tale. The Netflix comedy prefers to stick to the sunny side, even as Santi faces his share of challenges on his way up Miami’s reggaeton scene.
