Rein privat

I nearly cried in certain parts of this series, especially in the last episode of season 1. That scene between sisters was so touching and heartbreaking. The actors are fantastic in this series, they draw you in and make you feel something. I hope for a season 2.

If you're looking for a series that has a realistic take on invasion of privacy and how that impacts someone and everybody around them then look no further than Netflix's, "Intimacy".

With this kind of premise for a show the acting performances for it have to be realistic and compassionate and all of the actors did that and much more. Every single actor in this series brought everything to their roles and helped captivate the audience for this wild ride. Everybody in this show felt like real human beings and how people would react in this kind of situation. The real standouts for this show though were Verónica Echegui, Itziar Ituño, Patricia López Arnaiz, and Ana Wagener, who plays Alicia. All four of these actresses bring such raw emotions to their roles that it makes it easy for the audience to understand what they're going through and feel sympathy for them.

Another element of this series that was captivating was the story. This series follows four different main storylines and some other minor ones and it's able to connect each really well and keep them all captivating. The most captivating thing for me was the fact they showed both ways someone would go about this situation. Whenever a show has lots of storylines it's hard to balance all of them and make sure all of them get the same amount of time and moves at the right speed and for the most part, they hit a home run. But, after some reassessing of the series, I realized that not only one storyline was kind of rushed but some of the smaller ones as well. I feel like the writers figured they were only going to get one season for this series so they wanted to wrap everything up nicely and in doing so rushed some story stuff.

This takes me over to the pacing for the series where once again the pacing is a home run except for a few things. I will say this for 2.5/4 storylines the pacing moves at the right speed with everything making sense but, for the other 1.5, it was working well until the final 2 episodes. I really noticed the pacing issues specifically for the final episode as it felt rushed especially surrounding some character decisions. There are some character decisions made that just made no sense given certain information we see throughout the series.

One random aspect of the series that I caught myself enjoying was the cinematography for this series. There were so many gorgeous shots in this series that just took my breath away. There were some creative shots used in this series that helps the audience understand these characters and their relationships. To keep it spoiler-free an example of this is there are two characters in the frame and there's a wall separating them. I also found the camerawork interesting as at times it felt like a camera or a person watching these people live their normal lives which keeps in theme with the series.

In the end, Intimacy is an interesting series that despite some pacing and story issues is still worth a watch especially because of the subject matter.

I watched Intimidad because I loved Itziar Ituno in La Casa De Papel. While I think Ituno shone as Malen Zubiri in Intimidad, I was incredibly moved by this series as a whole. First of all, the cinematography was gorgeous. While it moved at a slower pace than I expected, I thought that the show dealt with topics like sexism, discrimination, violations of privacy, sex crimes, workplace harassment, grief, and mental health in a compassionate way. I loved that the show focused on the experiences of women from all walks of life, and I think this show can be very healing for anyone who has had to struggle with any of these issues. I know that it was for me.

This is a TV show the world needs today. It's powerful, moving, unsettling, it tells stories of women mistreated by the world of men and by the world of the tactless and nosey. It makes one understand how vulnerable and unprotected we may all come to be and how fragile everything we have built is. And it makes one realize that it's worth fighting for our identity, for being true to ourselves and looking the world directly in the face without being afraid or ashamed. A potent message. And impeccable acting. And Itziar Ituño is just brilliant.

Didn't know what to expect and admit I was hesitant. I actually started to watch but turned it off. Then decided a few hours ago to give it a chance. So glad I did. Every woman of every age from every country gay and straight should watch this sophisticated well scripted beautifully cast solid direction. Twist and turns the story develops with flashbacks as the elegant ensemble cast snowballs. I love movies and series that are unpredictable where I cannot out guess the writers. I love to enter their imaginations and flow with their reality. In this case add to that an important story an important plot and it's a winner. This is a series for all women and hopefully their male partners friends colleagues children will have the courage to watch it to. Congratulations to cast and crew.
