Ni una más

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.

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.

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.

No pun intended here - we do watch and experience things as ourselves ... we are supposed to have empathy. Which distinguishes us from animals ... but there is more that makes us different. Humans can be quite evil and menacing ... in a very planned way.

That all said, the show is really well crafted. It may be or feel a bit long, especially with the first twist of the show (which I think almost can be called a red herring - it does play a role later on, but not to the degree we may think when we first watch it).

Acting is top notch and the show really challenges you. What to believe? Who to believe? What are your values and what do you think happened? Even heroes are not without flaws ... without making mistakes ... some are quite costly ... but you can't blame them (her) ... if there is doubt, you do want to question, especially demeanor wise ... this really depicts greatly what teenage girls and boys go through. More the former than the latter - and it is important to see that.

I don't like the way you normalize minors smoking cigarette. Completely useless for the narrative Great show but it bother me a lot! Parents aren't intervening like it's not a issue. Wtf Portraying smoking, drinking and taking drugs like it is the way to go, like it is the way to have fun for teens, it's a major problem in movies and tv shows.

I wish we could ban seeing minor smoking cigarettes in tv and that we could see the real effect of alcohol on our body and minds. (Not only hungover, but dark thought, depression, anger)....

Like the main character and wish dubbing in English was better.
