Has anyone else watched this? Based on the first two episodes, I'd say this is pulling off LGBTQ romcom quite well. Seems like they also dubbed it in English.



Waiting for @Alla to come in here and say "I HATE IT".

 

[Saltwater]

Loved it but am also curious what @Alla thinks.

 

[straightorbroken]

Wanted to watch it for ages, but @Alla hasn't commented on it yet?

 

[Apoca]

Can someone please tag @Alla - just to be on the safe side.

 

[Alla]

Please make sure you tag me next time, I nearly missed it and can't wait to talk about it.

Haven't watch it (yet). xoxo

 

[OutSynk]

Please watch it soon @Alla

 

[Saltwater]

@Alla any thoughts on the Holy Family maybe? Loving it so far.

 

[Alla]

I don't watch many Spanish series/movies, so tagging me because of that is a bit pointless.

Oddly, the weakest storyline was the

will-they-won't-they of the leads

but on the whole this was very enjoyable.

True but I didn't mind much cause the lesbians plot made up for that, it was really good and kept my interest throughout.

Aren’t we BOYCOTTING SPAIN after the TRAGIC events of LAST NIGHT?

I know right? Not that you're reading this because you all have me BLOCKED.

I really loved it. I thought it did so much well - racial diversity, an equally compelling storyline for the lesbians, a story for the older lot. The characters felt really lived in and I thought it was quite heartwarming.

Also, I’ve loved the actor who plays Ramon for a while.

 

[FetchFugly]

I really liked it, very charming all round. It didn't outstay its welcome either, I've found some Spanish series I've seen have been a bit meandering in terms of run time and episode count.

I agree that most characters were well written and fleshed out, even smaller parts like Ramon, though Ibra didn't get past being a rather inconsistent plot device.

Oh.

if you liked this I can recommend Merli Sapere Aude, same lead actor and similar themes. it's a teen show for sure but enjoyable enough for an old ghey with a past that never was

Thanks for your bright and sunny disposition at the start of 2023.

SIGH.

the ripped one

Loved this too, and it was the total opposite of that other horrible netflix show about that insufferable estate agent. It was really sweet without being cloying, funny and charming. and the spanish language is always a huge plus for me anyway.. I don’t speak it but love listening to people speak , everything sounds so much more emotional and exciting

 

[OutSynk]

Finished this. The DRAMATICS of running to the airport to stop him when he was only going away for a week. But yeah this was really lovely.

 

[FetchFugly]

As far as I remember I think this was pretty well wrapped up but Netflix cancelled it.
