What I liked

I love how the show grows and evolves as Christopher and his father perform this show together. I’m grateful that I was able to witness a special moment with the two of them honoring their relationship together.

What I didn't like

I can’t wait to see the sequels with your mom and siblings!

My overall impression

Habla y te Salvas will make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. Christopher and his father are beautiful to see together on that stage because you can see the care between them but also the generational and cultural gaps that can cause tension and misunderstandings. Christopher coming to terms with the messiness of his relationship with his father and the things that do get lost in translation as a “No Sabo Kid” is so relatable to any kid with an immigrant parent.
