So what can we expect to see in This Fool?

What is This Fool on Hulu about?

The upcoming series is inspired by the life and stand-up material of Estrada, whose name is Julio Lopez in the show. The half-hour comedy is set in the working class South Central Los Angeles and takes us into the life of 30-year-old Julio.

He is still living at home, dating his on again, off again girlfriend from high school, and avoids dealing with his own problems. Though he is great at helping other people as he works at Hugs Not Thugs, a gang rehabilitation non-profit.

At the organization, he butts heads with his older cousin Luis (Quinones). His cousin is an ex-gang member who just got out of prison and moved in with Julio and his family. Since these two don’t always see eye to eye, it’s going to be interesting (and I’m sure hilarious) to see them living under one roof.

The official trailer gives us a glimpse of the work the rehab center does, just how well (not) the two cousins get along, and all the comedy we can expect to see!

This Fool premieres Friday, Aug. 12 on Hulu with all 10 episodes.
