Apaixonados Outra Vez

I watched all 8 episodes and it just spiraled downhill with each progressive show. While the actors are solid, the script and direction are amateurish, repetitive, and boring. Over the span of 20 years, the lead characters never grow, learn, or develop. We are suppose to relate to two people that are hopelessly self-destructive and toxic to one another through their own selfishness.

Their are two serious failures: Time Jumps - The series randomly flashes between 2004 and 2022, going from 20 year old college students to 40 year olds who lives have stagnated. This problem is there was no effort to make the actors look older. The 20 something actors look exactly that. The fact that, at 40, they are still in the same place in their lives is too much a stretch.

Mental Illness - The series never addresses it but it's clear the female lead suffers from several disorders. The male lead identifies with anxiety and depression. Making a show about their conditions while trying to form relationships would have been more interesting. It would have also solved several gaps and plot points that that exists thought out the series.

Finaly something real and not pathetic. This is exactly how we lived at the end of 20th and first decade of 21st century. Even those of us who studed engineering, low or business, were into movies, hanging out with our friends, going out to small bars, big parties and mayor openings. Hooking up as much as possible. And always being into someone, hurting over someone and still going out and having fun.. having friends that were in absolute center of our life and shared with them everything. Living both small and big life in the same time. It's a bit nostalgic, specially when I heard "Me Cago En El Amor".. But mostly, I like it because its true. The characters didn't feel liked edited to fit into a box or "message". Acting and directing is very good and natural and made me feel I was there with them.

This isn't completely awful and somewhat engaging in the beginning, but it quickly fizzles and becomes repetitive and boring after a couple episodes. The entire series ends up being barely "average."

The show relies too much on a handful of "eye candy" to carry the entire series. The supporting cast is a complete polar opposite and quite uninteresting The plot is very simple and doesn't evolve, neither do any of the characters. Little effort was spent on the writing and on finding a suitable supporting cast.

The gratuitous nudity is welcome and makes the show bearable and easier to watch. But even the hookup scenes make little sense; the sex comes out of nowhere, is rushed and very superficial. While it may be fun to watch, you really don't feel anything! You can find more emotional depth in most porn.

The main characters are charismatic enough and do a decent job, but even they become tiresome over time due to bad writing and poor character development. Georgina's (female lead) character becomes downright annoying and her actions make little sense! It' feels like watching "Groundhog Day" ...she keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. The supporting cast is all over the place and it's difficult to take anything seriously. In the end, I didn't care about what happens to anyone.

Finally, the time jumps are poorly executed and completely ridiculous. The story begins in 2004 and jumps 18 years into the future; but characters look EXACTLY the same, with a slight hairstyle change and they use smartphones instead of flip phones. This huge time jump is completely unnecessary to the plot; the same could have been accomplished with a more realistic (believable) 5-6 year time jump. Plus, we are expected to believe that (after nearly two decades) the characters have ZERO growth and have exactly the same feelings, problems, emotions and issues (not to mention looks).

In summary; I regret spending (ie, wasting) my time on this.

From the first episode to the second, approximately 18 years go by in the calendar. Not in the characters' faces or bodies. This is totally ridiculous and amateurish. This is taking the audience for fools and simply not caring about the story or the product. And, let's be honest, if the creators themselves have so little respect and care for their own creation, why should then we have it? The story itself is rather mediocre although I must admit that Georgina Amorós steals the spotlight. Some of the other characters are too much of a cliché and bring nothing new or worthy. It is just passable if you have low expectations.

Honestly I liked the first episode but as the story went on I got bored of the main characters. Two persons having a big ego and in the same time always feeling insecure and needy for approval. Wanting to be the center of attention everytime despite who gets hurt. How is this story supposed to be about love? The story starts in 2004 and continues in 2022 and they are the same 20 year-olds. Like a day hasn't gone by. In many times I ended up angry-dissapointed and bored at the same time. I enjoyed more the characters of Himena and Da.

I thought to stop watching the show but I was curious to see where all this is going. Well surprise surprise..nowhere!
