Episode 2 of "This Fool," titled "Putazos," delves deeper into Julio and Luis's world, but it falls short of the first episode's brilliance. The humor feels forced and occasionally unrealistic, resembling a GTA side quest down memory lane.
Despite its flaws, the episode has moments of genuine connection. As a middle-aged viewer, I empathized with Luis's battle against time, adding depth to the narrative. The central conflict, Luis being challenged to a fight, lacked the engagement of the first episode, and Julio's internal conflict was underexplored.
"Putazos" maintains some charm with touching and humorous moments. While it may not match the initial brilliance, there's hope for a balance between absurdity and sentimentality in future episodes. As a viewer, I'm optimistic about the series finding its footing and authentically exploring Julio and Luis's journey.
