Les envolées

This is a show that I always catch myself missing, i'm pretty sure I've rewatched more than 10 times and it's always an amazing experience. The way the episodes give us context with the flashbacks and it just makes us understand the characters and be empathetic towards than. I love the characters, how they're built, how they're flawed, but most of all what they mean to each other. Desenfrenadas will always be my favorite, it's a shame we didn't get more of it.

The story of 3 women on a roadtrip who get carjacked by another woman who becomes their friend. This show has so many levels and layers and is acted so well. The women are flawed and strong and real and their story deserves to continue!

The actors are great!!! The issues that women still endure in this "men" world and how overcome Sometimes we need a friend and a road trip to change your life

This is an incredibly ambitious series, that tackles a number of nuanced cultural issues, although not much is nuanced about the story line: race, class and gender in Mexico. I loved that this story develops four protagonists that are all struggling with making authentic choices. Sor Juana would be proud of how these women deal with the patriarchy and all the hombres necios (and a couple of not-so-necios) in their lives. Luckily these friends find a different option than Thelma and Louise driving into the abyss, and there are super-transparent references to the charolastras of Y tu mamá, but with a specific female bent. I am left wondering what Marcela and Mike will do to survive after the final episode, as they escape from their sadistic caretaker. Sadly there don't appear to be many viable options. As one character says, they're not "dogs in need of rescue." More of this, please! These are stories worthy of being told!

I absolutely loved it. I've never written a review before but this series is worth the praise! I binge watched it in 1 day and couldn't get enough of it. It had a little of everything; based in the beautiful Oaxaca ( never imagined it that beautiful) it was emotional, fun, heart-warming and innocent all at the same time. I hope Netflix makes a second season, can't wait for more!!

This show is Amazing! the pacing, the characters, the sountrack,, the cinematography, the acting, all impressive. They tackled so many important issues that women face everyday while keeping you engaged and laughing. It's heartwarming and inspiring and empowering.
