While I liked the color, LA suburb culture and photographic work, this is a bit strange for kids and way too slow. There's really not a lot going on which is why there is a lot of running in slow-mo. It's like watching paint dry. On the positive side, it kind of reminds me of the movie Paris Texas. Like the mom character, but the lead boy's character is just a little odd. Can't see it gaining a big following.

A Woman, "Stray Animal Lady", "Stray Cat Lady", Inherited the Hotel "Alamo".Her longtime Guests are beyond "Strange". A small girl guides Guest's Vehicles to parking spaces wearing a Full Sailor Suit. A Guest and her Son Donate Spit (Saliva).A while ago a Baby was left in a Mayonnaise Box, so she named him Mayonnaise "Mayo".All kinds of animals were previously left at the Hotel, so this time a full grown Ostrich is left at the Hotel Alamo.A Girl on a Float (there was no Parade) waves at Mayonnaise, so he, "Mayo" is helped by "Candy" (Spelling) to find the Girl wearing some kind of "Birthday" ("Princess Dress") Dress.A very long time ago, 1970s, U.S. Army Drill Sergeants used to say that "The Only Things that Come Out of California, Are Fruits and Nuts". This "Pilot" from Amazon, seems to fit that description, unlike the other Two "Pilots" from Amazon, that were simply Amazing, Skyward 2017, and Will Versus the Future 2017.

I found this show to be very cute and funny. The characters were charming and I want to know more! It's a show for the whole family, reminiscent of other family comedies but totally unique and quirky. The actors did a great job, though totally unique characters they were believable and compelling. The cinematography was really well done. I do hope they make a full season!

Found this story line to be a refreshing and unexpected journey into the life of a young boy, Mayo. I viewed this pilot 3 times as I wanted to make sure it was OK for my son,(12 years), which it is and then I watched it with him and then we were telling my mom (80 years) about it and she wanted to see it and loved it. Great to find something we all liked and can watch together. With each viewing the story did not diminish, it grew. Don't know if this was based on the writer's real life, but the story and the actor portraying Mayo really bring to life the wonder, curiosity, pure love and sarcasm that only a tween boy can exude. My vote is to take this further, there are plenty of pearls to work with.
