Raising voices

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by the flawless performances of the actors and actresses in this series. It felt as if they were all close friends in real life, as I don't believe such natural chemistry could be achieved otherwise. Each character has a unique personality, and these are portrayed in a very believable and nuanced way. The story is realistic, without any clichés, pretense, or forced toughness. The atmosphere feels so authentic that it almost stands apart from anything else I've ever seen. Rarely do I come across a series that feels this genuine, where every element works seamlessly together to create a truly engaging experience. It's a refreshing piece of television that captures both the depth of its characters and the authenticity of its story, making it a standout among other series.

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.

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.

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.
