hey! have you seen El Embarcadero (the pier) and if so, what did you think of it? if you haven’t i won’t spoil you other than to say obviously there’s some f/f content here ;)

I have and I’m intrigued but because I only watched it when the SBS version went up with English subs a little while ago, and s2′s so close to coming out, I’m going to wait to see what happens before getting super invested. I want to know how much of this is their interest in each other and how much is just transference. THAT final scene didn’t really answer that question.

I do find it very compelling, I love Alex and her crew, and I love her first meeting with Veronica, the connection does sizzle and totally explains why Alex just keeps on getting deeper in this, but. Oscar is so freaking present in everything. At this point, just a month left to see what happens. Plus, I’ve been keeping an eye on promos for next season and it seems like Alex wants to let loose a little, with other men, or maybe those are flashbacks, but definitely finally at least something happening with that cop Conrado. But there are still some scenes with her and Veronica, some where they’re arguing I guess in the close aftermath, some where they’re teaming up to I think investigate Oscar’s murder, and then also these bits:

Oh, unless you were talking about Ada, lmao. I actually like her as a character but I…am way more invested in Alex and Veronica.

The L word Generation Q is actually not that bad, I mean I also wasn’t that much into the L word. (let’s be real it was kind of a terrible show sorry for the fans) But the new show actually add quality to the production and the story and also more POC and Trans representation. (there are just 2 episodes but so far I like it, curious to see how it’s going to turn out)

I’m hearing good things about it! I’m glad you’re liking it. 🙂

But it’s not a quality thing why I’m not watching it, or even the original. It’s more that I’m not much for plain drama, I like there to be some overarching plot. Basically, I prefer genre TV. It is nice to see more rep, but I’m such a shipper, I’d just get attached to one ship and then not like it when it was broken up.

German anon here – thanks for all of the recommendations! I’ve seen a few of them but looking forward to the rest.

You’re welcome and thank you to everyone who chipped in! I did have someone tell me that perhaps I ought to give a warning about the Aimee and Jaguar ending, it’s not happy. I suppose I assumed you’d research all the titles before watching but I guess it’s best to be safe in confirming that.

And that goes for the procedural anon as well, they don’t all end happily. PepSi was mentioned as ending on a particularly catastrophic note, but there are others as well, even if not with a death, no happily ever after. And speaking of procedurals, I also had someone mention the second season of Broadchurch. It’s not a classic procedural, if you’re familiar with the show, you know that it’s a season-long case and a lot of occasionally very bleak drama. But you know, worth a mention in case you’re interested.
