“A ver si se interen chavales. Marcos y Paula están ahí abajo solos. Y esos tíos matarón a Cayetano y a la jueza, ¿ya no os acordaís ? Yo estoy hasta los cojones de ser un come mierda, ¿está claro ? Nos roban las pruebas, nos amenazan, vale, pero lo que no vamos a hacer es esperar a que vengan a matarnos. Ahora, vamos a ir nosotros a por ellos. Se van a cagar. “ I always love this scene lmao. Iván was already so done with this shit.

I feel like this show has run out of things to do with Carol. She’s gone from the kind of stupid and very selfish driving force of the friend group to the most background of them

I’m glad the love triangle plot is over but why does it feel like the writers had literally nothing else planned for her ^^”

London, 1908. When feisty journalist and women’s rights campaigner Sonia Winter (Diana Rigg) uncovers the headquarters of the Assassination Bureau Limited, a clandestine enterprise that has existed for decades by bumping off the rich and powerful – but only if there’s a good moral reason for it – she sets on a path of putting an end to its activities. Bankrolled by her press baron boss, Lord Bostwick (Telly Savalas), she commissions the organisation to undertake the assassination of its very own chairman, Ivan Dragomiloff (Oliver Reed). Being the gentleman that he is, Dragomiloff responds to the assignment with glee, challenging his fellow board members to complete the contract. Only they’ll have to catch him first…

I forgot that the whole story started with Maria’s escape from the psych ward! I actually love that parental/familial love was such a huge theme in this show - Maria’s drive to find her wrongly taken child and then to be a mother to him is such a driver and theme in the narrative - just as important as any romance. Her and Ivan’s mother/son bond is one of my favorite relationships in this (also for once casting an actress not much older than her supposed son makes sense since she was barely a teen when she had him.) And the irony of Noiret taking a kid Maria very much wanted so as to please his wealthy wife (if I remember correctly, her baby was stillborn and he swapped the kids so she wouldn’t lose it) and then abusing the hell out of him the kid’s entire life for the sin of not being blood when there is someone who really wanted him (and who he stuck in a psych ward!)

Speaking of things I forgot, I forgot what an utter DILF Hector was!

They were clearly setting up Maria x Hector at first. I kinda hope that after she grieves her amazing Fermin she and Hector eventually do make a go of it (and Marcos and Ivan become step-cousins, heh.)

Anyway, moving on. Ivan!!!! Light of my life!!! It’s one of those things where I knew he was a fan fave going in but was going “huh, why, not a fan” and then by the end of s1 I was all “I love him more than anything!!!!” Heh. And Carolina. She was beautiful and acted OK but I don’t think the character ever clicked for me. She wasn’t interesting on her own and in terms of ships, I shipped her neither with Ivan (it was dependency on his side and pity on hers) nor Marcos (he was not the greatest boyfriend to her.) It’s kinda funny that they were setting this as a big love triangle but to their credit, changed tack when they saw it wasn’t hitting.

Papa Noiret! A truly a gold medal winner in the abuse Olympics! He just comes across as a garden variety too busy/disinterested parent here - who knew that he’d turn out to be an abuser, murderer, sadist and Nazi. I wish I knew whether they decided to make him one of the Big Bad Guys from the start or as they went along.

I see dead people! Seriously, these people will have a 40% survival rate.

Marcos!!! I liked him but was never as fond of him as I probably should have been but his love and care for Paula was everything!

God, what a blast from the past!

[theseasasleep]

DUECES!

Poor Maria! I forgot that the police came calling at Laguna Nazi and tipped Jacinta off to her checkered/trumped up past! Honestly, I think Ivan inherited his propensity to attract suffering from his mother.

Is it weird that I always forget about the pedo-female teacher and her WTF "relationship" with Marco (it's coming) until I see her in the show? What is up with that? Selective amnesia is a hell of a thing.

Lol, that these kids are so gungho about investigating the weirdness. Well, Carolina is gungho, the rest are uneasy as fuuuuuuuuck. An old man teacher barges into their room in the middle of the night and incoherently spillls the beans on dangerous shenanigans afoot at the school and god bless these children, they run with it. But dragging someone else's five year old sibling into a situation you strongly suspect is dangerous is just not done.

All my 'Marcos is the best brother and has the best, most cutest sister' love is being revived!

This show in S1 was very committed to having Maria in naked to seminaked situations, huh? Fermin is soooo into her, heehee, even this early on. Sure, he nominally considered merc-ing her for the sake of the mission, but his heart knew what was up!

Caro is like the queen of getting everyone into bad situations, lmao. I remember being freaking pissed when Ivan and Marcos were caught by Hector.

@dangermousie is not wrong: the sharp and sudden violence of Noiret against his son in full view of everyone is stunning, even on rewatch. We thought the man had been established in the first episode - absent even when present, emotionally neglectful parent - but this is the true establishing scene, right here. He is vicious, uncaring, with an ego the size of the sun. Hector shift from "take your son and GTFO!" to " you're not taking your son anywhere!" was smoooooth.

And here we understand and learn more about Ivan, his relationship with his father and the school - they are equally dangerous to him and for him but serve as the only home/family he has. That Hellscape school is actually Ivan's haven, in the most awful way possible. How's that for being destined for suffering?

Jacinta is so 😎

I know you did it because you love me. And.. even though sometimes it doesn’t seem like it.. I love you a lot, too. If you loved me you wouldn’t treat me like this.

yon gonzalez te amo

[aquietgirlsmess]

I love how, even though at this point Iván kinda only reluctantly accepts Marcos as part of their friend group as he still doesn’t really like him because of the love triangle stuff, he still does stuff that will help Marcos with the answers he’s looking for because of that photo they found of a little girl that looks exactly like his sister.

Ivàn Noiret, such a cat in heat (x) but also a drama queen…

[dangermousie]

Ooof, their first serious fight is so painful in the best way

It really is their first genuine fight - because before they bickered and what not but this is a first fight because this is the first time their emotions are involved with each other and so they can wound/and be wounded by each other precisely because they care.

This is in the aftermath of Ivan finding out that his father appears involved in the death of Julia’s father/is member of an evil conspiracy (yes, there was the ghost says Noiret killed Caye, but he was able to shove it in the back of his head after a while and now it’s bringing this back times ten.) He’s hurt as hell and terrified and being Ivan, his coping mechanism is lashing out. But then, where’d he have learned healthy coping mechanisms?

And I love that she is trying to be nice (she is somewhat more functional than he is) and at first he’s merely prickly...

But then she reaches out and he throws her hand off, because he cannot bear to either have his vulnerability observed or to process it properly.

Oh, baby girl, both he and you are so going to find that a curse!!!!

And that is what gets him to really lose it. That’s like his sorest spot, so all he wants is to hurt the person touching his wound so they’d stop and concentrate on their own instead...

And she won’t take it and tells him he can be mad at Roque and Vicki (who were being confrontational) but not her. I love that she’s getting angry but she’s a lot more together and so is trying to reason. But of course at that point he’s utterly lost it; it doesn’t help she brings up Roque and he feels guilty for hooking up with a girl his friend liked. And being a mess, he says his fights with Roque are her fault. I love that she won’t take his shit.

Oh my God, Ivan, you did NOT just call her easy!!!! And placed all the responsibility for you two hooking up on her!

(Sweetheart, you were a mess long before Julia walked into your life!)

The thing I love about Julia is that she won’t put up with his lashing out. Compare with Maria - who feels so much guilt in addition to maternal love she lets him get away with murder. (Once, literally.) It is being with Julia, and loving her and almost losing her because he doesn’t know limits when he fights and how to behave in relationships that makes him eventually slow down and think and learn because he can’t bear to lose her.

And she goes for the jugular and draws more blood than he ever did. I actually gasped this time because I forgot this and she can be just as vicious in their fights - she also goes no holds barred and nothing off limits, whatever is designed to hurt the most. The one difference is she will never start with a nuclear option, she will only respond with one (and if he hits hard, so to speak, she will hit harder.)

AAAAAAA!!!!! That is SO brutal. The thing is, even this early on, they know each other’s most vulnerable spots so they know exactly where to cut.

Delightful.
