With Love (Amazon Prime Video, 2021-2023) is a holiday anthology series following the Diaz family across different holidays throughout the year. Created by Gloria Calderon Kellett, it is an affectionate portrait of a multigenerational Latino family navigating love, identity, and belonging.
With Love captures something genuinely valuable: the warmth of a multigenerational family that gathers, argues, loves, and holds together across time. The series takes family seriously as a source of identity and belonging. The grandparents are portrayed with dignity. The holidays — Christmas, Dia de los Muertos, Valentine's Day, Quinceañera — are treated as meaningful rituals rather than secular background noise. This is countercultural in modern streaming content.
With Love includes central LGBT storylines — the protagonist's brother is gay and his relationship is treated as entirely normative and celebrated by the family. A non-binary character is also featured in later episodes. These are not background elements but woven throughout the series as positive and unremarkable.
Christian families should note this going in. The show is not hostile to faith — religion is part of the family's cultural identity. But its view of sexuality and gender will conflict with traditional Christian teaching in ways that are persistent rather than occasional.
With Love is appropriate for adults who can engage its worldview critically. It is not appropriate for children or teenagers without parental guidance and discussion. The series is well-made, genuinely warm, and its affection for family and tradition is real — the tension is in what it normalizes alongside those virtues.
