Invisible

This will make you cry and remember all the names and let them pass back into the past. At 50 + it brought back horror memories and was triggering a half century after the events of my past. Being the new kid ever 1½ years thanks to the military. I remember not being welcomed to new schools Fred Jacobs, Ty Richardson , Larry Olson , Kenny Propst, Dennis Smith, JD Williams . I remember you. But my life always got better and I succeeded whereas some of you didn't. Life sucked for a few months until someone else was newer. Bullies get worst.with each new victim . This show hit the nail on the head of life in a beautiful story where redemption could have been a great ending in life and was perfect in this show.

10/10. Beautiful story. It broke my heart. I have a son & I fear for him all the time. He's only 5 years old & a child 5 years older than him has already put their hands on him on the bus. Im thankful my son is a tough little man, and he stands up for himself, but that doesn't cure my worry. This mini series is an important watch & it's so well done. My heart broke for Capi & I just wanted to reach into the screen, hold him tight, and shield him from all the harm. It was hard to watch him be bullied every day and nobody did anything. I hope my boy comes to me always, and tells me whenever theirs a problem going on. Schools and society need to take bullying way more seriously. It sickens me that they don't care at all. Bullying will never go away, but it could be dealt with a lot better.

This series is very engaging and rings true through most of the episodes. The actors do a great job of making the feelings of the characters visible. In the real world these experiences are largely invisible for the many reasons everyone involved has to hide them. It is a very worthwhile watch for anyone who would like to understand more about the experience of bullying from all angles.

Ultimately however, the almost neatly tied bow of the final episode completely fails to suspend the viewer's disbelief (or mine, at least). There is no neatly attained catharsis for the kind of trauma on display in this series.

It is understandable that as a morality play, it is required to provide a message of hope, the idea that people heal from these deeply scarring sustained incidents. I could see this series being used as an educational tool for children quite successfully.

But it fails to achieve what it seems to hope for with adults. We are too jaded to avoid seeing a hug and an "I am Crassus" (not Spartacus) moment of solidarity as a satisfying ending.

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 creator of the series was able to translate the pain and fear that I felt when I was young into a 6 episode serie. The powers are metafors for how children try to deal with fear. I also tried appearing invisible for the same reasons. I clothed black or grey to invoke the least possible reactions. If you survive this difficult period, you become like that lady teacher: with metaforical scars on your back, and a dragon that awakens when you see someone else being bullied.

I feel like that lady teacher is me now, and the kid is who I was . But even as an adult you feel that child again when we are confronted to similar bullying situations.

I've cried at every episode. My parents have no idea what happend to me when I was young. Or they just know a fraction. My heart bleeds even though I'm 43 now.
