The Telecinco scandal silences all mouths

• Series The creator of Escándalo appeals to reflection in the face of the controversy over her "lewd erotic" story of pedophilia: "What would you have done?"

They say that babies come with bread under their arms at birth, but the new

baby , the series

, did not bring bread, it brought a good scandal even before birth.

The series had not even been released -the premiere was last night- and the controversy was served: whitening of pedophilia, pedophilia, shame... And we could continue until dawn.

Few waited to see the fiction -yes, fiction- to be able to criticize it.

All it took was a trailer and a tweet: "Inés, 42 years old. Hugo, 15 years old. This is

The creator of Escándalo appeals to reflection in the face of the controversy over her "lewd erotic" story of pedophilia: "What would you have done?"

And what happened?

Well, what has been happening for too long: social networks became the gun with which to unload against a series that had not even been released.

A series, yes, that

, but in reality, as its protagonist,

, said this week , is a "horror" story.

"We are talking about fiction, it is not an opinion article or an essay or journalistic information, fiction is a reflection," its creator,

, stressed to EL MUNDO a couple of days ago, "I am a bit surprised but I am very convinced of what we have done, because it is a story that delves into the characters in a very interesting way".

As is, that's

.

See how things are.

For three days, the series has been on everyone's lips, being described in the most terrible way until it has been released, until it has been seen and until it has been possible to verify that what

is the story of a woman psychologically abused by her husband and her daughter,

, the story of a desperate woman, the story of a woman injured since she was little who finds her only lifeline in a 15-year-old student, that one night, the night she decides to commit suicide, saves her life.

"Little is said about the talent of Alexandra Jiménez. Brutal.

is teaching us what psychological abuse is and how easy it is to destroy a person's life";

"The

series is a zas in the mouth of the Twitter users and far-right associations that accused it of whitewashing pedophilia";

"She, mistreated by her husband and her daughter. He, carrying a guilt that does not correspond to him caused by her father.

".

These are some of the reactions that Scandal generated last night: story of an obsession.

From becoming a

three days ago because it "whitewashed pedophilia", from criticizing

for broadcasting "such a series", from announcing lawsuits so that the series was not allowed to be broadcast, it has risen to the top .

As they say,

has silenced all those mouths that

.

Of course,

touches on issues that make the skin crawl and generate a reaction in those who are watching it, but

, sorry for it, is not a scandal.

It is a fiction that gives what is always asked of a series, that it engages, that it has good actors, that it tells a good story, that it is well edited, directed, etc.

And, most importantly, that it does not leave us indifferent.

That's what

does .

's interpretation

is brutal.

The actress makes us all feel the torture that her character, Inés, lives by sharing her life with

.

Indeed, repulsion is what you feel every time that husband and daughter appear on the screen, who mistreat Inés from minute one, who reject her, who separate her from their lives, who treat her as if she were crazy, that they reproach her for having become pregnant, that they abandon her after suffering an abortion, that in the midst of a blow over the death of the child she was expecting, sorry, they were expecting, she begins a separation process,

.

"You are a good woman but with bad luck. For loving people who were not up to loving you"

, is the phrase that perfectly describes the torment that Inés lives.

Although in this first chapter the series does not delve too deeply into what seems to be

, it does hint that Inés' submission to a husband and daughter who are manual abusers has a reason and to be.

Inés is a woman broken into pieces, who only seeks to be loved as she loves others.

When the toxic love of her husband and her daughter slips from her, the fragile foundations that support her fall apart.

.

And that is when

appears in action.

A 15-year-old boy, who also carries a very heavy backpack.

An authoritarian father, a mother who died during his birth, a maturity and intelligence that make him different in the eyes of those around him.

, which from what is intuited in this first chapter finds in Inés the affection of that mother that he yearns for so much and that so much feeling of guilt carries over him.

Yes, of course, Inés, at 42, seduces a 15-year-old boy. Of course, they are obsessed with each other.

Of course it is not a white series.

Of course, it removes many unpleasant feelings when seeing it, but if something became clear last night after the first chapter, it is that

does not whitewash anything, nor does it apologize for anything, nor does it encourage pedophilia.

is a series that hurts, a series of suffering that leaves a very bitter taste in those who watch it because what it relates is not pleasant, far from it.

really tells a story of abuse, pain, loneliness, too many psychological intricacies that will probably be discovered as the chapters go by.

What is surprising about everything that has happened with

before

was born is that what the series recounts is not a new plot.

There are dozens of series, dozens of movies that tell a similar story, even without so many traumas that can explain it.

There we have

, on HBO Max, one of the most controversial and commented series of 2020 in which a teacher, with a simply boring and sad life, seduces one of her students until she destroys their lives.

Of course the series generated comments, but at the level of

?

Now here near.

The scandal in

is not that a 42-year-old woman has a relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

The scandal of

is having judged her before seeing her, having censured her, having asked her for her head without even knowing she had committed any crime.
