I WOULD RECOMMEND VENENO TOO

it's a tv show (only 8 episodes!) about the life and death of the icon that was La Veneno. she was one of the first openly trans people to become famous in spain and she had a very turbulent life. still, this is one of the most beautiful series i've ever seen bc you can tell that a lot of care was put into this. don't really know what else to say bc i saw it years ago when it came out and i barely remember anything beside that i loved it, but pls watch it! there's lots of informal speech and thick accents tho so watch out for that if you're not fluent (although I don't think it's super important???)

Okay, can you recommend me films or shows to watch in Spanish? Gay if it can be but I don’t mind. I want to improve my Spanish.

Okay so, I recommend you the obvious most famous one which is Money Heist but some more? Hold on.

AQUÍ NO HAY QUIEN VIVA: ANHQV is a Spanish comedy series from 2003. It's fucking hilarious, and it also had groundbreaking queer rep for its era; one of its main couples, Mauri and Fernando, helped many people see gays differently, and it's part of the reason why gay marriage was legalized in 2005 here. It also has a main lesbian character named Bea, who has a child with Mauri as the donor and gets a girlfriend (the kid has two gay dads and two gay moms). The show is from over twenty years ago, so there's some stuff that doesn't age that well when compared to our days, but again, groundbreaking for its era and really fucking funny.

AMAR A MUERTE: Mexican telenovela. There's a lot of insane shit going on there (people that die and come back to life switching bodies, Death being a character, etc) but it's pretty good. Two girls, daughters of the dudes that die and switch bodies actually, Juliana and Valentina, are queer and a couple. Really fucking good, my mom and I were hooked when we watched it some years ago.

AMAR ES PARA SIEMPRE: Long ass hilarious Spanish soap opera, do not watch entirely if you don't want to. There are several queer characters throughout the story if I recall, but most famous ones are Luisita and Amelia, two women who meet in Madrid 1975 (when same sex couples were banned here in Spain), become best friends and fall in love. Cute, and hilarious, and amazing rep, very realistic tbh. Luisita is one of the funniest characters in Spanish television imo, her family is iconic (most of them have been in prison for one reason or the other, some others are exiled for being communists, they're insanely iconic), and Amelia Ledesma is one of my favorite characters of all time: the daughter of a fascist pig who leaves everything behind (and gets disowned because of that) to move to Madrid and live her life as a lesbian vedette, and Luisita's family ends up basically adopting her and adoring her as one of their own. Her relationship with her father in law, if rocky at first, is incredibly cute. You can find videos on YT with English subtitles.

LUIMELIA: Spin-off about Luisita and Amelia but as if they're in 2020. Really cool.

SKAM ESPAÑA: Spanish remake of Skam. Season 2 has a wlw main love story. The girl friend group is really cool. 2019-2020 me was obsessed.

Idk recommend some more stuff if you know y'all
