Déjate ver

This is a wonderfully clever series. It is heartfelt and funny in equal measure.

It contains many references to how artistic expression of its many various forms is created, enjoyed, displayed, critiqued, sold, sometimes remembered and sometimes forgotten. It weaves the stories of the characters into this narrative. We see how their lives are influenced by their experiences both with artistic expression and from their observations of and interactions with others around them.

I really enjoyed this series. I thoroughly recommend taking the time to immerse yourself in its playful and funny, yet thoughtful take on the world and relationships.

I'm so glad I did.

It's a quirky surrealist comedy that hits all the right spots - nostaliga, light-heartedness, and subtle humour. Ana is charming and delightful. Her facial expressions throughout the series are great, and is never over the top. As a non-native Spanish speaker, I enjoyed listening to the cultural language and colloquialism from Spain. I love shows that don't take themselves too seriously (even for comedies), when they introduce philsopical concepts, such as the underlying theme for this show about not being authentic. The show manages to use the metaphor of physically disappearing for losing one's true sense of identity in such a clever way. Highly recommend watching!

I know this is not for everyone. For starters it's about art, and how art has become just another kind of startup meant to become a trademark and then to be sold just to bring revenue to the artist and the galleries that sell these products. Everyone's dream, right? Well, no. Some artists still think art should be artistic and done with their own hands. But in a world where your online presence and your online visibility is almost the same as your physical visibility, this can be a very big problem. You can literally disappear if no one notices you. And Ana, as the 'face to the public' of the artist 'Basil' -a Banksy wannabe-, is an expert in not getting attention to herself.

The series is a well thought satire of our technological times, profoundly embedded in the surrealist legacy. In other words, is a strange trip through often Kafkaesque settings, where rationality leaves out the window and the absurd takes the wheel.

If you like weird stories that make fun of our modern society, this is the series for you.
