Las chicas del cable (2017)
Strong women
I love it!! The time period is cool because of the costumes, but the issues these women go through can be timeless. They are all great actors. I personally really feel what she one is going through. It could be a boring love story, but she character goes through so much adversity, especially Lidia and Carlos. Dona Carmen is an evil women. But, those times were not as liberal about people marrying others outside their social circle.
I haven't seen too much Spanish TV. I grew up mostly with Mexican novelias. It's different, it's cool, traps you in and love all the actors!
El barco (2011)
I LOVED IT!
This is my first time watching Spaniard series. Coming from the States (NY), and watching a lot of Mexican novelas, this series was refreshing. At a Latin American, a lot of Spaniard slang, i don't know, I used the English subtitles a lot. It's a science fiction series, but each episode is well made. She character has a unit life of their own. The challenges are pretty unique. I like how the truth slowly unfolds as the series continues.
an episode here (US) is normally 45 minutes long. The episodes in el barco are about an hour to 2 hours long. Both my husband and I became very obessed with the series, after long work days, we found ourselves watching Netflix until 3am!
I LOVED LOVED the romance between Ulises and Ainhoa. Their chemistry is felt through the screen. I've started to watch more of their work, and I"m happy to see that in "real life" they are a couple (Mario Cases and Blanca Suarez- hope it blossoms for a lifetime).
Season 3, wasn't my favorite. The challenges on land make sense, but, i was a bit disappointed with the ending. Gamboa just disappeared, and Burjua. A season 4 could have continued. and was so upset seeing Ulises die, but it was cool to have seen the true love from Ainhoa that committed to him, even after death.
It's my first Spaniard series, not like Mexican novelas at all! Very much like America TV. Thumbs up! Days later after nonstop streaming I'm still thinking about the series!
