About

In her sixth year of law school, Cristela is finally on the brink of landing her first big (unpaid) internship at a prestigious law firm. The only problem is that her pursuit of success is more ambitious than her traditional Mexican-American family thinks is appropriate.

This sitcom swaps tired tropes for a sharp look at the friction between professional ambition and tight-knit cultural expectations. Navigating unpaid internships and family dinners becomes a relatable balancing act for anyone trying to outrun their roots.
