Altagracia to Mariana (1x02): "You just hit the jackpot."

And that is totally on point!

Mariana gets to live in a mansion

With all expenses paid for her and her daughter

She gets Ana to invest in her app

She gets Ana to fall in love with her

She gets Ana to declare her love publicly

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I finished Madre solo hay dos. New personal record, but now I gotta wait for everyone to talk about it.

I laughed, I cried, I felt seen,... I can't believe it finally happened. I cannot believe this show exists. 🥹 It's like watching something that played out in your mind, and not quite believing it's really on your screen. 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 🏳️‍🌈

-----

...but is it just me or did it all feel like a bit of anti-climax in the end? I can't tell if my expectations were too high and it's not like I'm not happy... but it felt like in the second half, the focus shifted to all the other relationships, the development of their relationship didn't make as much sense - Mariana needed to be more active, I think. And then the final confirmation of love was very tame. I like the intimacy of hugs and the message that they're partners, but after so much angst, I was expecting something more passionate. And then... it was as if they almost wanted to distract us from them by focusing more on the straight couple.

Maybe I'm just overly sensitive or maybe I was expecting too much, but after an amazing first half, it almost felt like they were trying to make us forget a little that they went there.

And lastly, lesbian is not a dirty word and it doesn't make your character unrelatable. Ana as a repressed lesbian would've made more sense to me than what we got...

Thoughts?

An Announcement:

SO! I didn't finish watching Madre Solo Hay Dos. Reasons are diverse, but the main point was the total bullshit that became such a good show!

I get we didn't need to focus on Marian and Ana relationship, not entirely, but that was the whole point of the series! It began with them, it should had ended with them!

And don't get me wrong, I liked they spoke about "late" pregnancy, women feeling insecure because they're pregnant at certain ages, and the talks about abortion. That's something worth talking about in TV series here in Mexico.

BUT! BUT!

We didn't need Ferran in the first place. Ferran was an attempt to turn this series into a Hetero-romance. And don't come at me saying, but Mariana is bisexual and it's okay if she ends up with Ferran. Well, I tell you this, if the writers really wanted Mariana to end with a man, then I expect Pablo to be the one. First, they already have a baby together; second there was tension between them; and third they still were friends and knew each other.

And the excuse they told us of Ferran already being a father, who abandoned his family because he wasn't ready at the time and not telling Mariana. BULLSHIT!

Tere and Victor sort of saved this third season and although I loved their interactions and seeing them on my screen. It felt like I was watching a show about them and not about Mariana and Ana. THE ACTUAL PROTAGONISTS!

Mariana leaving felt like such a cheap conflict. Ana rushing there on bikes was cute but I expected more! But since this is not an hetero-romance, we don't do great gestures! And in the end Mariana still left!

We didn't get the fake dating to real dating we deserved. We didn't get the pinning, the tension, the love. We only got a quick and regretful drunk sex that didn't create other problems, we didn't get an enemies to friends to fake lovers to enemies to lovers we all wanted and I HATE IT.

Now, as a Mexican used to these kind of bullshits, I'm not surprised! I did tell everyone that they wouldn't brave enough to give us a nice romance. One like they did in Season 1! And partly is because of the Mexican audience.

Not everyone, not yet at least, can accept these kind of representations on TV. Even if it comes from Netflix. We have long and exhausting road ahead, and until some writer/producer/director is brave enough to push for far better plots, we won't enjoy a good romance representation.

As some of you commented, we got the ship, but not in the way we hopen and wanted. It felt anticlimactic even.

Now, not everything is lost!

Madre Solo Hay Dos with all its flaws is a first and a huge step towards more content for the us gay/queer people. Moreso, the Mexican community. I think (and I can be wrong because I haven't watched telenovelas in a long time) it's the first W/W couple that ends up together!

So, let's applaud Madre Solo Hay Dos for existing!

Note:

I'm gonna watch the series again, this time with Eng subs on so I can comment if the subs are accurate enough or if they're different, how they're different, and why they change the feeling of the scenes!

An example on my reaction to Episode 3!

Weekend plans = Spending time with these two beautiful machines 🤖 I only started my semi-modular/ modular synth journey a few months ago. I’ve always been a workstation type synth person with the fuller keyboards and polyphonic pad synth features. Lol. But I’m so happy I invested in getting these synths. It’s opened me up to whole new experiences. They bring me so much joy. And it’s really turned into something so relaxing to me to just sit down a tinker away at finding cool new sounds and beats - even if I’m not the greatest at it yet. Lol. It’s really the best and super fun! What are you weekend plans? Tell me what you have going on 💜
