Raising Voices

This was a suggestion from Netflix to watch. Generally I don t like dubbed shows but still gave it a go as the subject intrigued me.

Story is about a young girl being raped - or wasn t she? And by who? And were there others? How thin is the line if you don t say clearly no? And what if you are so drunk / druged that you can t say no anymore?

The story line turns around the main character Alma and her friends and things they go through in high school life with social media and sexual experimentation. It has a lot of good twists and turns snd keeps you interested and guessing until the very end!

I fully enjoyed this show as a grown up snd can only recommend!

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.

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.

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.

Every scene in this series is based on a cliché. The characters are caricatures, and they also present a caricature of society. The social and political commitment of the production is more important than the seriousness of the script. It is more of the same, reiterating the approach of Spanish series from the last decade, which no longer have much to offer. If the situation the series aims to denounce is common (hence the relevance of the denunciation), it would have been better to base it on a real event rather than the mediocre invention of a writer. Miguel Sáez Carral once again offers something as mediocre as 'Sin tetas no hay paraíso.' On the other hand, while trying to raise awareness about sexual abuse, it trivializes the consumption of all kinds of substances.
