Invisible

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.

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.

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.

Such a good series , had me going through all the emotions, I just wanted to scoop the main character (capi) up & give him a hug. This show should be shown in schools or at least given the book to read , the ending was a little unrealistic it would be lovely if life was tied up in a nice little bow with everyone suddenly developing a conscience ,but in reality it hardly ever ends that way , even so it took nothing away from the show, kids usually stay quiet because they dont want to be the odd one out or the next to be bullied if they speak up , I always think education starts at home , we need to be teaching our kids about the affects of bullying before they even enter school, the actors played their roles extremely well , the show had me shedding a tear or two! Well worth watching.

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.
