Raising Voices is a great series that covers various tough and incredibly important subjects in a gracious way. The eight-part series covers consent, various types of sexual assault/violence, grooming, mental health, suicide, bullying, women's rights, and more.

The storylines and acting are excellent, but what really caught my attention is the cinematography. The camera movements and the way this series is shot are fantastic. I especially love the end of every episode; after the characters walk out of frame, and there's seemingly nothing happening, the scene and the sounds evoke deep emotions. I suppose that's what art is supposed to do.

Sea feminista.

Had this in my watchlist for months, but was never motivated to watch, due to the ordinary cover. (didn't seem exciting) A friend came across it and showed me her new crush in the series and I got intrigued. (She became my crush too, she is perfect, literally can't say anything bad about Greta) I enjoyed every second of the series, starting with Billie Eilish's song in the very start. Everytime I finish an episode, it feels like I've seen so much, but there are still episodes left, which makes me glad because I love the story. It has some connections and twists that I really enjoyed as the audience.

Everything is so well done. Amazing shots, fascinating storyline/storytelling, and I loved the character (Greta and Alma) development. I was also very impressed by the acting.

My favorite part of this was the girls' friendship, they are so sweet and loyal and goals. Also, it has queerness in it, which we all love.

This showed up on my Netflix feed randomly and started playing part of a scene and then jumped into the first episode...next thing I knew I was 30 min in and suddenly captivated by the show.

It portrays the life of young women and how they are subject to sexual assaults and degraded by men and looked as an object. Many scenes make you feel uncomfortable and feel the fear they felt in certain moments/situations.

As a women I can totally relate to walking home alone or standing at a bus stop with only one other person, or having someone walking to close to you of the opposite sex. That constant fear of never feeling 100% safe is something that women will always fear. Always needing to be always alert of our surroundings and avoiding putting ourselves in dangerous situations.

I have never watched international shows until recently because I cant stand reading subtitles and dubbed always felt weird. But I did watch it dubbed and although some of the chosen voices for the parents were maybe not the greatest match I think that the main actresses were a got fit for the dubbed voices and they did an amazing job acting. You really felt everything they were feeling!

I am surprised there are hardly any reviews, this was a good watch. You will route for these girls.

Initially, the series presents a captivating premise that promises to engage viewers in an exhilarating marathon. Unfortunately, after the third of its eight episodes, it devolves into a repetitive cycle of events and character clichés that undermine the entire plot.

The depiction of sexual assault (SA) and male mistreatment is heavy-handed, with every male character portrayed negatively. This leads to a sense of monotony by the fourth episode, making it easy for viewers to lose interest.

Furthermore, the notion that 'sorority' alone can conquer all malevolent intentions creates an unrealistic and implausible scenario, making it difficult for viewers to become fully immersed in the story.

One of the series' strong points is the chemistry between the female protagonist and her two or three co-protagonists. However, this strength is overshadowed by the simplistic notion that a noble cause can mend a broken friendship.

Finally, it's worth noting that, despite the potential to develop a richer plot and atmosphere, no male character is given the opportunity to showcase strong acting from beginning to end. This imbalance detracts from the overall quality of the series.

I loved the series and watched it in two evenings The cast is great, I liked Alma, Greta, Nata and Berta and rooted for all of them The issues they raise in this show are really important and I loved the nuanced portrayal of the story I am also glad that parents of Alma behaved the way they did in the series, being a parent of a brave feminist teenage daughter can be a challenge!

I cried a bit here and there and I will miss these girls, I would love to spend more time with them The ending makes you feel warm (and cry again:) I will recommend this series to all my friends who have daughters to watch it together with them for sure.
