The creators of
Supernormal
, recently released on Movistar +, do not pretend that we
love their protagonist
.
I would say that what Olatz Arroyo and Marta Sánchez expect from the viewer is that they respect and understand that executive-mother-wife who wants to do everything well and in the end forgets to do it with a smile.
Because for that there is no energy left.
You don't want to.
And it is that
Patricia Picón has everything
(the super job, the super family, the super everything) but that everything is a very heavy burden. For such a premise to work in a comedy, you have to avoid detours. There neither the scriptwriters nor the actress who plays Patricia,
the extraordinary Miren Ibarguren
, are fooling around. Ibarguren, one of the most talented interpreters in our country, composes
an endearing and unfriendly character in equal parts
, well held by a script that is very clear about who Patricia is. She's not petty like Alicia Florrick (whose lifelong motivation is not to lose her social status), but she surely does watch
The Good Wife
and wonder
how that lady does it to always have a little time to herself (and her chic alcoholism) when she comes home every afternoon.
What Patricia finds when she opens the door of her stylish single-family home is some young children who need her, a husband as complicit as he is lost (Diego Martín, magnificent) and the reality of having to return to the office in a few hours.
"Meat, meat," Patricia tells her underlings, financial medium-length sharks
who, like all financial medium-length sharks, forget that they are dick-suckers in a suit and tie.
The Serie
It is obvious that Patricia has surely had it more difficult than them to get to her position because
Supernormal
is not that fiction that is throwing things at you all the time
. Like
Leticia Dolera's
Perfect Life
, the comedy by Olatz Arroyo and Marta Sánchez is for the smart ones.
And like good comedies, it is anchored in drama.
Behind each character in
Supernormal
there is a bittersweet story: the inevitably self-conscious sister, the necessarily optimistic mother, the surviving secretary ... And behind them,
priceless actresses: Bárbara Goenaga, Marta Fernández Muro and, above all, Gracia Olayo, Susi Sánchez of comedy
. Of course, it is not up to them to reconcile being funny with asking for meat, meat and always being on the verge of being edges.
That's what
Supernormal asks of
you
to Miren Ibarguren and she hands it over
.
Super actress.
