oh there wasn’t anything in particular that made me go for just the clips in s1, the full episodes just weren’t as readily available with english subs for me. and as far as I can tell, the clips had pretty much all of alex and veronica’s scenes whether they were together or not, so I did see the bit with her designing the building

Oh, okay, that’s a whole lot of scenes, I mean, either of the two are in almost every scene, why even bother cutting clips… Unless it’s excluding their romantic scenes with other people? Well, and there’s Katia/boss, Ada and her stuff. All right, that’s fair, lol. But yeah, I think for this season, it’d be especially tough to watch their clips only.

given the refocus in s2 of el embarcadero, do you think it’d still be too jarring to go from watching just alejandra and veronica’s scenes in s1 to watching the whole episodes in s2? ’cause idk if I have the patience to wait for the youtube channel I watched the s1 scenes on to upload all of the s2 scenes

Oh, I don’t think so. Especially the first eps–well, there’s a lot of Alex/Conrado at a point, maybe that you’ll find annoying, but the amount of Alex/Veronica around them and overlapping, it would be cut pretty jarringly anyway. But it’d be possible, I guess. 

It depends on what you want to get out of it. While I found Alex/Conrado meh, all the m/f highlighted Alex/Veronica in the end. And I just don’t know what the Alex/Veronica bits would cut out. Like, did they include the parts in the first season where Alex was frantically brainstorming and designing a new building, an open vibrant design that was basically Veronica? Those scenes were mostly Alex with Conrado or Katia or her boss, but how romantic! To redesign her great career triumph, the one place she was confident in, in the shape of this woman she doesn’t even know she’s in love with. She think she’s obsessed with her because of Oscar, but it helps the audience see how it’s something inspiring her and positive and amazing.

I dunno, I almost always advocate for watching the whole thing but whatever you didn’t like in s1 that made you go for just the A/V clips, that doesn’t disappear in the second season. I’d watch at least the first ep, and then by the end of the second, you’ll see the Alex/Conrado and can decide if you want to put up with it or not.

The women of the pier ??? (the mom can go…)

Hah, yes! Same. Alex and Vero, no question, I adore them, but I really like Katia and Ada too. The mom…she IS just so unrelentingly selfish and chance after chance Alex gives her, she remains so utterly focused on herself. Ada’s just a kid, I’m not gonna blame her for going along with Blanca, and Katia’s definitely not perfect, but she tries, she learns. Blanca…eesh.

Sorry to bother i know you said that you only know where to stream eps is ololo but i have tried looking for it there but i cant find Get Even. Its not anywhere that i usually use, so i would apreciate if you could tell me where you found it

Heh, no, I’ll give you this one, it isn’t widely available yet, I didn’t even know about it, it wasn’t in the normal release lists. A friend actually mentioned it to me, having seen an ad that looked gay. 😀

All the eps are up on BBC’s iPlayer so you do need a British IP. I don’t know if I’d recommend much trouble to watch this show, maybe wait for it to be more widely released or even just for the clips.
