No matter where you live, you'll relate to Netflix's new L.A. gentrification comedy
Netflix’s “Gentefied,” executive produced by America Ferrera, confronts gentrification in Boyle Heights. Can it avoid contributing to the problem?
The action centers on three cousins and their grandfather, called Pop , who runs a taqueria named for his late wife and stands for the honored and perhaps fatally intransigent older generation. Erik works for Pop and has a baby coming with Lidia , his former girlfriend, who in most every respect is his superior. Ana is an aspiring artist, with a young daughter and a female partner, Yessika .
Chris’ idea is to elevate the cuisine closer to his own fancy palate, but his experiments with chicken tikka masala tacos disgust the customers. Even the even younger generation doubts him: “Don’t be putting no smoked Gouda in my grilled cheese, white boy,” says Ana’s sister.“What do you want, tradition or innovation?” Chris asks Pop, offering a curry taco.
There is the odd logical glitch, but none is fatal to “Gentefied’s” shaggy charms. Ana paints a mural on a merchant’s wall, in plain view, without anyone seeming to notice what they regard as offensive subject matter until the moment it’s finished. Chris’ co-workers put him through a humorous series of tests to prove he’s a “real Mexican” — naming three telenovelas starring Thalia; blind candy identification; dancing; identifying wrestlers’ masks — abandons any pretense of reality.
