7/10
Funny, frustrated, desperate males and females

Warning: Spoilers
It is a Spanish TV series that can be watched without getting bored but might annoy or make you laugh from time to time.

The never-ending male vs. Female story is the subject of this series. The series dealt with the subject in the dimension of modern masculinity. But one migth feel that series is also about a version of feminism which tries to imitate the toxic masculinity and glorifies that twisted feminism a little bit (tiny bit!) more :)

While the series does not glorify either the female or the male point of view, it is sometimes unfair to both parties. However, the needle of injustice sometimes leans more towards the male side.

The reason Luis gets those testosterone shots is because he still wants to be with "his wife". No other woman interests him. However, his wife comments that "you need a testosterone shot to be interested in me". Poor Louis! :) It would have been more elegant if Esther would have told her husband that she was no longer interested in him without cheating on him.

It's too much for the Santi character to talk about his sexual life explicitly with his 16 years old daughter who will be considered a child. It's hard for the audience to empathize with that. It is another example of toxic-masculinity when Santi thinks his daughter is a lesbian and tells this to his friends proudly! After all, he and her daughter screw same gender! By the way she is bisexual! :)))

Pedro is what his partner Daniela is. They are both types of people who manipulate a certain group on "any subject" and earn money from it. Both Daniela and Pedro have a "deal" and break up when the terms of the deal are at the "relative" detriment of one party. No obvious love between them...

Here's Raul! Absolute toxic-masculine man. The equivalent of toxic-masculinity in the encyclopedia! Almost the only character who deserves everything that happens to him.

While the character Luz encouraged her friend Esther to cheat on her husband, her reaction when she was cheated on was very hypocritical.

The show definitely deserves a second season. In the second season, It would be much better if the series handeled the relations regardless of gender. But it would be a risk to lose lots of audience from both genders!
