Smiley

I cried several times throughout the series. It was amazing. The plot weaves several stories through several peoples lives. The sex wasn't gratutuis. Who and why you love someone was done beautifully and comically.

I would almost call this a Christmas movie in Merlin, but with a different cast. Same feel tho. The acting, the facial expressions, the Director was outstanding. Forigen films are just done so much better.

This is what Bros should have been!

(Sorry, that movie didn't pass thr mustard)

Highly recommend this. For anyone in any sexuality.

It's a great love story that might have you cry too.

(Must see, and I don't review too often)

Old telephones and wrong numbers, misunderstandings, the inability to express true feelings and blossoming LOVE. That is Smiley.

All the classic elements of rom-com rolled into a delightful Christmas gift from Spain and Netflix.

Throw in a handsome cast of fine actors and this Spanish comedy just flies.

It touches on a wide range of issues including family, and rejection but mostly the search, the timeless search, for love.

This series is joy. Sit back and join Bruno and Alex as they navigate the pitfalls of modern romance in a fabulous looking Barcelona.

We may all know where we are going but the journey is half the fun!

Even if you're not in love with all of the characters... you can definitely find a few to love in this passionate, smart, and yes, sometimes a little maddening series. Carlos Cuevas is so sexy and such a joy to watch in anything. I dare you not to fall in love with him. Or....how about just finding someone to love in this show and enjoy. Perfect for the holidays.

The original spanish is the best...however if that's not possible it's still very much worth it.

Love being able to see shows from Spain that are done so well. Merlí was also an excellent series. I hope we'll get a second season and a third, and a....

From the cinematography to the storyline, absolutely 10/10! All the little details with the way it's filmed to the execution. The characters internal dialogue was the most intriguing aspect and It always made you question whether what you were watching actually happened. It keeps you guessing throughout.

Now I'm begging the Netflix god's to commission a 2nd series, (even though it was neatly wrapped up) because this was pure genius and I'm being greedy.

A must watch; it'll make you laugh, cry and angry - all the emotions. I never leave reviews - so do us all a favour and give it a watch! :) A must watch this Christmas season.

I found out Smiley by accident and gave it a chance. It turned out I watched the whole thing in one breath, one sitting.

Brilliant writing, deep characters and relatable events!

The show is so true-to-life that it makes you laugh, cry and sometimes both at the same time. There are literally lines in the script to provoke your thinking, your outlook on life.

Highly recommend for those who got bored of cliches in the recent year and seek to watch something real.

What can I compare it to? It's a bit similar vibe to Queer as Folk, but the typical spanish cinema flavours make it unique!

But this is not your typical US LGBT series. It is so much more.
