Invisible

The series Invisible, based on Eloy Moreno's impactful book, serves as a reminder of those stories that, though often left untold, need to be heard. From its very first scene, Invisible immerses us in the life of a boy trapped in a cycle of bullying, whose isolation and pain make him feel invisible to the world. Yet, the series reminds us that this isn't true: someone can always look, listen, and act.

With a narrative that alternates between the protagonist's perspective and those around him, the series explores bullying as a multifaceted issue. It's not just about the bully and the victim; it's a system where silence, indifference, and inaction play a critical role. Every character is carefully crafted to show that, in one way or another, we are all responsible for putting an end to this reality.

Compared to the film Wonder, another work that tackles bullying, Invisible stands out for its darker and more direct tone. While Wonder delivers an uplifting message about resilience and kindness, Invisible forces us to confront the harsh realities of pain and isolation. It doesn't shy away from showing the devastating impact of bullying, yet it avoids falling into despair. Its core message is that we can all do something to make a difference.

The visual storytelling and performances are key to conveying the essence of the book. Every scene is filled with raw emotion, from fear and helplessness to fleeting moments of hope. The bullying sequences are difficult to watch but never gratuitous; they're a powerful reminder of what happens when we choose to look the other way.

Conclusion Invisible is more than just a series-it's a call to open our eyes and take action. It reminds us that bullying isn't just an individual issue; it's a reflection of how we interact as a society. Its message is clear and urgent: it's not enough to avoid being the bully-we must also raise our voices and lend a hand.

For those who have read the book, the series is a faithful and emotional adaptation. For those who haven't, it's an opportunity to reflect and understand the impact of bullying from a deep and human perspective. Because no one deserves to feel invisible, and everyone needs someone to say: I see you.

The whole series was honestly very well done. The impact bullying can have on a child and their psych. How one adult can make such a big difference. How it takes so many adults to ignore what's going on to escalate the problem. I think all adults around school aged children should watch but or look into the subject matter; I think a lot can be learned from the series.

The only let down for me was the ending because even with MM being the main villain throughout he did begin to show remorse and the want for change. His two goons though they deserved a punishment l because they acted of their own volition in many of the instances.

I watched on Disney+& & I was not sure what to expect especially as it is in Spanish, however this has to be one of the most extraordinary series I have watched for a long time. I would actually rate it higher than 13 reasons why. From the 1st episode you get to know capi and how he is looking forward to starting high school along with his 2 best friends. Then as the story continues you get gripped by the storyline &especially you get to feel and experience what capi is going through. Many tears shed and excellent for showing the repercussions of bullying not only for capi but his friends too.

The series reminded me of many stages, and I am still in my second year of high school, and I see myself hidden, no one sees me, and they want to sit with me and do not talk to me, and they only come when it is convenient. I am a person who was very, very affected by this series I cried when I watched it and I watched it 3 times in just one week. I loved the series and Cabi reminded me of the same. I was exposed to severe bullying since I was young, and now he has a lot of complexes. I am very tired of school life, and I am still a normal boy. I did nothing to them. Why is he bullying me? I did not do anything. I am now tired inside, and I am 16 years old now.

"Capi" is a creative and happy teenager, with two really good friends. But he is severely bullied and after a while the bullying takes up more and more of his safe space, so that after some time he finds him self all alone. Invisible.

This series is one of the most heartbreaking series I have ever seen about bullying. And most of it is pshycological. I can not help thinking that the creators cried throughout both writing it and filming it. The cast is amazing, you want to punch the bully in the face everytime you see him on screen. You feel just as strongly for the victim - all you want to do is hug him, hold him tight and never let go.

The creators have done a beautiful job of slowly isolating "Capi", so that we get to really follow his journey and feel for him deeply. They have also done a beautiful job of letting the viewer in to the other characters hearts and minds. So that we can see the dynamic between all the main characters from every perspective.

I am impressed how they have really gone to great lengths to describe how being bullied really feels like. And how cruel kids can be at that age. How adults go about their life in their own little bubble and end up missing whats right in front of their noses. Do they see it? Do they care?

The only character I would have wanted to see more of is the "dragon teacher". The only one who really sees whats going on. I wish she could have gotten some more screentime, but that might be just because it would have helped my own heart ease up a bit. It would have made it a lighter watch if she was more involved. So maybe her not getting too much screentime was the point.

I highly recommend this series, it is very, very important!

But I will also like to put a warning out, the series can be a trigger for those who are themselves a victim, or even for those who have themselves been bullies.

I would say - enjoy, but that would not be right. Instead I'll say; watch it, and learn.
