La supervivencia de una chica con curvas

I have laughed. I have cried. I am beyond excited about the positive messages surrounding sexuality, relationships, correcting outdated AF stereotypes, friendships, and love (all kinds) that have been shown. I wish more shows portrayed friendships and relationships and particularly breakups and communication how this show has! With the amount of influence media has on everyone, I want everyone to see how all different kinds of relationships and the (good) conflict that exist in the world and all the different kinds of people that are part of who we are can be so wonderfully amazing... watch this show!

Just on all fronts; production, acting, writing, etc. This show made me feel things in the absolute best way.

Funny and light and still hitting those deep spots that make you real emotional.

A story about empowerment, hope, relationships, dreaming big and striving for diversity.

I have been a big fan of Michelle Buteau for a minute and in this series she reaches all time highs with her charismatic and powerful character Mavis.

Not only does she play the part so well, she also co-wrote it which makes so much sense since she makes the whole series feel like the most realistic dream-montage.

It better be getting a second season!

This show is sweet, funny, inclusive, romantic. Why am I so jaded that I thought things will go off the rails, waiting for a betrayal (I mean besides the obvious one in the first episode). These characters are supportive, committed to growth, and growing. They say the right things during tense moments and mostly make the right decisions. I admit it made me even cry sometimes. It does walk a very very fine line of sappy and sometimes even preachy. I'd have rated it a bit higher if I didn't have a slight fear it can tilt into that territory. Still! I binged all 8 episodes and can't wait for second season. Also, watch Michelle's stand ups!

I'm so on the fence, I enjoyed the show which is really all you can ask for from a Netflix show these days but this one was just so over the top trying to include every thing and everyone. At one point it just felt forced. The cast overall was great even though none of them were actually good actors, least of all the main actress (which I think is one of the prettiest women ever and look wise as amazing for the part) but I mean... Sometimes I actually didn't know she was being ironic or sincere because her acting was so bad. Her energy made up for it though. Story wise it was good, the humor and the jokes often good but too flat at times.

I've never actually cared enough to write a review for something but this show was so beautifully done. I cried, I lol'd, and I said "as you should" way too many times. If your feelings are valid could be a show this would be it. So many relatable moments to make it feel real and the self aware characters are giving me life.i honestly wish this show was longer and that more people would watch it because it is such a beautiful take on how to make lemonade out of the sour lemons that life throws at all of us. I will be recommending this show to my two friends. 10/10 would binge watch and cry again.
