Paquita Salas

As an English only speaker I didn't expect to be able to appreciate this show as I hoped to. Yet comedic kindness, friendship and dedication crosses language boundaries. This show is amazing as it is funny, shocking and kind all at the save time. Series 3 is a wonderful evolution of character progression, and shows how character eccentricity, flamboyance and particularness (not sure that's a word) can translate to funny, relatable and gritty storylines whilst remaining at its core what it v should be - fabulous. Love this show and it's actors.

All of the characters are so well developed. The humor is ridiculous yet so right on.

Hilarious, but with a lot of heart. Reminded me a lot of The Office.

Spanish speaker though and I'm aware that there are lots of in jokes that only Spaniards will get. The second series is even better than the first.

Paquita Salas is the best mix pure heart and sarcasm with humor. It's impossible not love her.

Text: I am a huge fan of shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and Veep, and they do a fantastic job of making us laugh with hilarious nods to current events, but what they lack is heart and real, genuine relatability. Paquits Salas accomplishes that! While it is a Spanish series with many jokes poking fun at Spanish pop culture, it's easy to watch for us English folk as well. At first I thought they casted a male actor to play the lead character for comic affect, but as the show progressed I found myself forgetting she was being played by a male at all. That's how good the acting is! Although clearly meant to be hilarious (which it is),there are scenes that really bring on the feels. I found myself feeling for this amazing and beautiful woman who has a tough exterior but would do anything to help you out if you needed it, even if you stabbed her in the back countless times. I really appreciate that they hired several trans actors, and had trans, gay, lesbian and ambiguous characters without any sort of agenda. The show is about real people who have a common bond, that love each other, being hilarious, but also being real, and it's a perfect, spectacular balance. I laughed, I cried, and I felt. Thank you to the writers, incredible actors, and producers for putting together this masterpiece for everyone to enjoy. I needed this!
