Season 2 of « Acapulco » debuted on Apple TV Plus on Friday, October 21. The fist two episodes are streaming now.
For those of you who love a show like Ted Lasso for its sunniness and uplifting vibe, there’s absolutely no reason for you to feel bereft while you await its (still unannounced) Season 3 debut on Apple TV Plus. The iPhone maker’s streaming service also has another feel-good, half-hour series called Acapulco that should easily fill the Lasso-sized hole in your heart for the time being — and which, quite frankly, is far better than the chatter around it would suggest.
To that latter point, it seems like almost no one is talking about Acapulco online, or rather that not enough people are talking about it, which is a shame for so many reasons. Not the least of which is that the show is so good, it currently has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also very much reminds me of the kinds of comedies like The Good Place and Superstore that just don’t seem to get made anymore. The kind of escapist TV, in other words, that always makes you feel better after you’ve watched — or, at a minimum, makes you forget about the stress in your life for a little while.
