Poquita fe is a Spanish costumbrista comedy television series created by Pepón Montero and Juan Maidagán which stars Raúl Cimas and Esperanza Pedreño.

Plot

The plot follows the slice-of-life mishaps involving the markedly unambitious couple formed by kindergarten worker Berta and security guard José Ramón.[1]

Cast

Production and release

The series is a Buendía Estudios production.[4] It debuted on Movistar Plus+ on 4 July 2023.[5] In September 2023, the renovation of the series for a second season was announced.[6]

Reception

Alberto Rey of El Mundo assessed that the costumbrista comedy television series sublimates the very Spanish me río por no llorar (lit. 'laughing just to keep from crying') aphorism into a work of art.[7]

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the series with 73 points ('good'), praising the "very agile" format and the editing (including the use of the mockumentary), while citing how the series deserved a better closing as a negative point.[8]
