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!

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.

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.

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.
