Malviviendo

This is a internet project from a group of Spanish filmmaking students. It shows the lifestyle in a fictitious working class neighborhood in Seville, south of Spain. A hash smoker, a drug dealer, a boy with narcolepsy (sleeping sickness) and grumpy veteran in a wheelchair are the group of friends trying to survive in a hostile environment. Unemployment, lack of resources and illusions will force them to do all they can to get ahead. So far there are two seasons with ten chapters each, but it seems they are producing more episodes in the near future. Really funny scripts, and the technical work gets better every single chapter. Worth to see.

A group of Spanish friends undertook this project with an extremely low budget. The lack of money was compensated by the great ideas, script, dialogues and creative filming, resulting in a series that shows authenticity and originality. Very funny representation of a group of underdogs in a poor neighborhood. Really worth watching.

I just think this is now part of the Spanish culture. I just can't see a melon the same way. It's just very funny and enjoyable even though they didn't have any kind of budget but I also find that as part of the series' charm. I think some jokes can't be told now but I understand that when the series was made they were common and wasn't that big of a deal, nevertheless I think it's still really enjoyable nowadays.

This is awesome stuff to watch, better than most series out there! Southern Spain setting, a troublesome district plenty of disturbing characters you learn to love. Stop reading reviews and search for it!
