Paquita Salas

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

I really love this show. Could watch it 500 times, will laugh my a** every single one. And it still has place for drama and deep points. Achieving that with a first season produced by Flooxer -dependant on a TV channel, honestly haven't heard of another project from there- is brilliant.

One important thing is that it's crowded with cameos and localized humour you wouldn't get if you're not related to Spain. I understand some people don't fully understand it for that reason. But you wouldn't believe how many references and quotes my friends and I still use from this show -despite being short-.

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!

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.

I stumbled on Paquita Salas while looking for Spanish language series on netflix. Very entertaining, I laughed a few times hard, watching it alone. That is always a very good sign. Start immediately with season 2! It's better than the first season.
