@TrillionB if you'd like a recommendation for a loving send-up of the telenovela format, both me and my husband loved the quirky LOS ESPOOKYS (2018-2022).

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7721046/

It's kind of a mess, but writers Ana Fabrega and Julio Torres' comedic sensibilities were just right for us. Good regular cast. Some fun cameos. A transfem sea witch makes regular appearances.

Bilingual with subtitles; English dialog subbed in Spanish and Spanish subbed in English.

Did I decide I was going to watch everything Max & Tul were in? Not really. But I am curious about their earlier stuff, so...

Also: Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 go!

Okay, with the understanding that I can't stand Juan Carlos...

That was a sweet Honeymoon idea -- even if it turns out to be a lie, the description he gave was very tailored to Andrés's interests.

So, he paid attention enough to come up with a good lie at least.

Which, honestly, given how critical and disinterested he's been about the "spooky stuff", is a step... in a direction.

I'll get back to you on which one.

The dark spirit, the Shadow of Water, would like to see the King's Speech.
"A wonderfully meticulous period drama"

And will not give answers until they get to see it.

Oh my gods, the Herbalite scene though!

"All you have to do is buy cases of our nutritional products, and try to sell them to your friends and family, while also cold calling a list of vulnerable people from a list of names that you buy from us and try to convince them to do the same. Whoo!"

Updating my #WatchList, and I'm wondering which of these I want to put highest on my priority queue.

Disclaimer: As before, this doesn't guarantee I'll pick the winner. But also I am curious.

Also if you have a preference, I'm interested in why.

I know absolutely no-one who is aware of how gloriously funny, quirky, sexy and unique #LosEspookys is, so i was absolutely blindsided to find out there's a second season, six months after it was realeased. If you understand how wonderful this is, please show yourself https://youtu.be/cAbaVE8BDxk

Los Espookys Was a Blessing #LosEspookys

I just found out Los Espookys was canceled after 2 seasons.

That's really cold, HBO. Not nice.

If you like weird comedy, horror, bilingual (English/Spanish) or lgbt+ shows, give it a watch. It's a highly rated show with a great cast, writers, and everything else.

I'm UK based, so not only do I live on Hell Island with a bunch of racists, I'm also always incredibly late to anything I'd consider to be good.

If you have access to it, I really recommend #LosEspookys . It's absolutely wonderful.

One of the weirdest, greatest and most inventive television shows ever, a fever dream but a good one. Los Espookys universe was a great place to escape to. Oh, did I forget to add fuck HBO? Fuck HBO. #LosEspookys #hbo

@marcygordon Nooo! I binge watched the first 2 seasons a couple weeks ago and it was delightful. Was just thinking of re-watching. Long live #losespookys
