Cristela
She can dream, can't she?
Created by Kevin Hench, Cristela Alonzo
On ABC
A warm, energetic sitcom about ambition and cultural identity that balances family comedy with the real friction of pursuing dreams against tradition.
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.
