Machos Alfa (2022)
Could be better
The series is watchable and enjoyable at times, even managing to be irreverent. One thing that really annoyed me was Santi's attitude towards technology. He speaks of his daughter as some sort of tech genius whilst he acts all dumm about it. Problem is, he's 44, and that's a generation that's generally very well versed with internet. He behaves more like a 60-something year old. Same goes for questions of gender - he's way too "young", just like his friends, to be so emotionally and politically illiterate and immature. It just doesn't make sense at all. It's very cheap humour at times, though one of its merits is a rare stance against the moral obligation and inevitability of parenthood.
Liebes Kind (2023)
Underrated show
This is a very good show, with a great storyline and very good acting throughout. As someone else has also mentioned, the children are superb as well. Reviews under 8 really don't do justice to this series. From beginning to the end, there are no holes or inconsistencies or anything that doesn't add up. The finale builds up seamlessly and can catch you beautifully off guard. Some reviewers said there's not enough explaining about the perpetrator, but really there's more than enough to understand the hows and the why- and, as you'll see for yourself, this show is about all the victims-direct and indirect, it's not about the perpetrator. One of the victims actually starts off as almost a sideline element of the investigation and then, as they slowly find their feet again, claim centrality of character at the very end. The final scenes are great. Just watch it.
