Merlí, the best show Spanish TV has to offer. This brilliant series follows a philosophy teacher and a handful of his students during their bachelorette years of high school (the last two years).
A teacher that is unorthodox, captivating, and sincere to his students.
Everyone that watches this show has to remember it's meant for a Spanish audience, this means: Public school systems in Spain are horrible compared to the US, Philosophy is a mandatory class to pass, and the majority of low socioeconomic status families are the ones described by the show.
It's a truly amazing show, showing social, economic, and most importantly personal problems.
I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll finish the review right here. Do watch this in Catalan with subtitles if necessary.
I do want to state, I've lived in Barcelona for the majority of my life, and I know the cultural context too well.
