I wasn't sure what to expect with this series. The trailer looked promising but I've been duped by trailers before. The series starts with a call to a wrong number that sets up a chain of reactions and introduces us to the various storylines, all of which were well written and carried out - a stagnation marriage, a lesbian couple at the crossroads of their 7 year relationship, a widow and her long lost childhoold friend. The main story centers around Bruno and Alex, two polar opposites on the gay spectrum who meet by accident and discover there's a white hot chemistry between them. Yes, Carlos Cuevas is very easy on the eyes but that's not the only reason to watch. I intended to view just the first episode and ended up binge watching all eight episodes in one sitting. This series reminded me of the great 2000 Spanish film 'Km.0' which was amazing. Highly recommend this to fans of limited romantic drama series.

Even if you're not in love with all of the characters... you can definitely find a few to love in this passionate, smart, and yes, sometimes a little maddening series. Carlos Cuevas is so sexy and such a joy to watch in anything. I dare you not to fall in love with him. Or....how about just finding someone to love in this show and enjoy. Perfect for the holidays.

The original spanish is the best...however if that's not possible it's still very much worth it.

Love being able to see shows from Spain that are done so well. Merlí was also an excellent series. I hope we'll get a second season and a third, and a....

I expected yet another banal, predictable gay rom-com. And while some of the plot is predictable, there is so much more character development than most gay rom-coms that I binged watched the entire series in two sittings. The writing is clever, the acting is very good, and the characters are multi-dimensional.

I enjoyed the many different ways the film explores relationships and people's yearning for love, despite their ages and sexual proclivities. While each character's foibles complicate their searches for love, ultimately their journeys lead them to where they should be.

If you're looking just for eye candy, you can find that here, too. And Barcelona itself is one of the stars.

So much average terrible gay themed content being churned out on streaming services that I had very low expectations when this popped up on the Netflix homepage. So what a pleasant surprise. It was really great to find this just before year end and it demonstrates how gay doesn't need to be cheap and laughs don't need to be cheap either love can be gay feminine masculine queer straight and transcend age and demographics. Didn't try too hard to be anything but tight clean entertaining and made for Netflix to series binging. Spanish language content is so much better than English language nowadays,

From the cinematography to the storyline, absolutely 10/10! All the little details with the way it's filmed to the execution. The characters internal dialogue was the most intriguing aspect and It always made you question whether what you were watching actually happened. It keeps you guessing throughout.

Now I'm begging the Netflix god's to commission a 2nd series, (even though it was neatly wrapped up) because this was pure genius and I'm being greedy.

A must watch; it'll make you laugh, cry and angry - all the emotions. I never leave reviews - so do us all a favour and give it a watch! :) A must watch this Christmas season.
