I like foreign series and Netflix suggested this for me. I've never watched a Mexican series and was sure it was going to be a novela which means somebody was going to end up in a coma. This show is far better than I thought it would be. The women are all gorgeous and that's usually an indication they have no talent. But, these young ladies can act! Even the men are all good looking! This was a great way to spend a few evenings binging. This is a very long series, but it seems like it could have been two seasons starting around episode 9.
Yes, there's sex, but it's not over the top and filmed discretely. This is definitely a female driven series and you can tell in the sex scenes where the women are active partners if not initiators. There are a few rape scenes, but the women get payback in the end. I wish Manny, as a bisexual had continued her relationship with the woman, but we know they always end up with the guy. Each woman had their own story to follow. I think the weakest story line may have been Matilde's, but that could have been that her singing was faked and the thing with Pacho just didn't work.
Here's what surprised me the most....we have a bi woman and nobody cares. We have a trans man and nobody cares. In Mexico! If that trans man was in the States, he'd be beaten, if not killed and his bar would be burned to the ground. Is Mexico that much more accepting?
Anyway....really good show. Bravo to all the actors for a great story.
