#Zeta paraiso

Popping on here after how many years (?) because I am unliving for the rise of gay ghost characters right now. Going to be working on a fun lil zine project covering undead queers in popular culture: DM me for details and/or contributions.

El rescate del 4to episodio en todo su esplendor ❤

[en-el-sur]

Yo es que estuve vagabundeando un par de años por el fandom de bbc sherlock, y las viejas costumbres nunca mueren.

Escenas espejo de dos historias de amor con finales opuestos uno feliz y otro trágico.

So, I watched Paraiso (Paradise) on HBO Max and... IDK, it's not bad? The pacing is weird and the mystery is presented in a kinda clumsy way, but... Y'know eventually the characters grow on you? The main Goonies squad is pretty cute. There's one kid who maybe leans on the ugly cry too hard, but, y'know he is a kid so I'm willing to give him a pass. Otherwise the acting is ok, again a little melodramatic at times and the mystery isn't super compelling, but you feel enough sympathy for the characters that you can get yourself through the series. It's not that long and it's only one season. There's nothing too extreme in terms of violence or gore, maybe stay away if you're sensitive to su*cide or su*icidal imagery/attempts or fire deaths or drowning. Or if mentions of child abuse or light depictions of bullying or dead kids are a trigger for you. It's more intense than Julie and the Phantoms, but less intense than Stranger Things. It doesn't curse much or have too much nudity, just a couple of nipples here and there and then a bunch of butts in one scene. (I'm guessing the nipples are most of the reason it got a TV MA rating, it's really not that intense.)

One thing that pooped out at me was that it weirdly kept interrupting kisses between characters? Like 3 or 4 times? But the sad lesbians got a grope and smooch and 2 of the sad dads get a CPR smooch? I won't spoil the last kiss, but yeah. A lot of interruptions. Anyways, it was weird, but not offensive.

Mainly it's just about three girls who go missing and one girl's younger sibling and his friends searching for them. Sandra is one of the girls that disappears, Javi is her little brother, Quino and Alvaro are his two best friends, Bea is the girl he likes, Olivia is her best friend and Zeta is sort of the bully turned reluctant squad member of the group.

For a stranger things comparison : Javi = Mike, Sandra = Nancy, Alvaro = Will, Quino = Dustin, Zeta = Steve, Bea = Max, Olivia = Lucas and everyone else is just sort of there.

There are villains, but they're less menacing and more inconvenient? There are a couple of characters with mobility issues, 2 sad lesbians, one of whom is a little person, 2 sad gay boys, one of whom starts the story a bit homophobic (yes, it is that trope), a character with diabetes.... I can't think of anything else, but yeah, it was okay. No black characters though and the only asian is a villain, so if that's a dealbreaker for you, well... You're right. That does suck.

Also, in order to watch it in the original Spanish, I had to go to my TV settings to change the audio because HBO Max wouldn't let me? But once I had it set it was fine. Still weird though.

Overall : a 7/10 Spanish Stranger Things that tries and misses the mark a bit, but it is more queer and I can only approve. An okay series that I may watch again. Don't go for a compelling or intelligable mystery, the lovable squad is all you're gonna get.

Upcoming project. It’s suppose to be a Stranger Things vibe type of show.
