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.

This is a quick witted comedy full of unexpected heart. Mockumentary style ostensibly sends up the absurd (has been?) talent agent Paquita Salas, but we end up loving her instead because of her consistently humane reactions in the face of failures. She is also good at her job despite being somewhat over-the-top, and this makes her endearing. This is a workplace sitcom - parallels to Ricky Gervais and the Office are somewhat hard to avoid - and like the office gives us a window into the somewhat mediocre world of b/c list talent representation. But Paquita Salas used to be a-list - could she again?

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-.

As irreverent as a guy in drag may seem to you, this series is full of amazing randomness. It probably won't be understandable for non Hispanics because most of the jokes are about other Spanish actors but Paquita is lovely. It may have some R rated jokes, but you will finish the first season yearning for more.

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.
