Talk about pent-up demand. The first four nights of the week have an incredible amount of talented Latinos on everything from dramas to comedies to competitions. And this is just the beginning.
If anybody needs a living illustration of how Latinos are making real headway in national TV, this is the week to watch. On Monday alone, nine separate shows feature Latinos, and often in roles as Latinos (or androids or werewolves, but still…) Roughly in order of appearance…
