• Politics Pablo Iglesias will see his series in the official car

Three years ago, a viewer requested through the Change.org platform the withdrawal of Acacias 38, the Spanish television desktop series, "because of its

poor script, lacking in creativity and quality."

You have to be very tacky to expect

something like

Madmen

from

Acacias 38

.

Only six people signed the emergency call of this citizen against the "decadent and vulgar style" of the

soap opera

produced with public money and released in 2015. It was a viralization in reverse -Intern

et is also a tomb - because no one who sees

Acacias 38, Central Market

or the series of the policemen

Serve and protect

they worry about whether they are good or bad.

The news drags the

prime time

of the nap.

It does not matter if it is with the ñús, the jokes of Jordi Hurtado in

To know and to win

or the plot of Genoveva and Marcia, which culminates in a moment Seven Virgins of the Golden Age with a shining wall between the two ladies in a place reminiscent of the Retreat.

Trisha Fernández plays dead among the flowerbeds. Television keeps pedants who congregate before the series as if they were witnessing the birth of the world. The taste for spending time in front of the screens has been lost and thoughtful interpretations are made. of what is seen in the original version and, worst of all, the great fans of Pablo Iglesias are shared,

the highest paid seriéfilo.

Who cares what he sees

vice?

Of all these productions that are the snack of the weekdays the only serious thing that can be expected is a frivolous script.

And, unfortunately, less and less happens, reflecting in the plots that maintain the rhythms of the theater the ideological and cultural desires of the left-wing coalition.

Podemos and PSOE, especially Podemos, have as guardians of the propaganda Jesús Cintora and Servando, the character played by David Venancio (

The Commissioner, Marriage Scenes

) in

Acacias

. "Every time there is more political and ideological load in our fictions", warns a source of TVE that prefers to maintain the anonymity.

"It was seen in

Quarantine diaries

.

It's not because Bardem was there.

It does not matter.

It is that it had medical and scientific inaccuracies.

In addition to the creeping ideology, children were said to be 'walking viral bombs' or the canning industry was stigmatized by stating that the virus remained in a can of tuna for three days, something that could not even be known at the time during the hardest days of confinement ". Fiction supports everything. But it may not support the intervention of Fernando López Puig, the director of Content, Channels and Production of TVE." Their powers have been expanded.

He is also in charge of fiction ",

points to the same source.

"There is an evident evolution since the arrival of the coalition. It is perceived. There are two ways to manipulate. The news and social gatherings, more evident, and fiction, which goes a bit more unnoticed, but is just as important. On the network we are very aware of what is happening. Including the unions that, except for CCOO, cry out against 'extreme radical drift' "." Programmatic merchandise is reflected in the series "that turn the after-dinner into a low intensity meeting.

In

Acacias 38,

I have read it in the gym listening to the subtitles, sometimes you can come across messages that are not too cryptic that do not hit anything to characters who have everything old except ideas.

The Government updates the middle of the 19th century Spanish as if it were plugging in Iván Redondo's software through the back of their heads, as Neo martial arts learned in the Matrix.

Feminism, attacks on the Church,

the caricature of the army or some doubts about the Constitution.

Mixed ideology that achieves what was achieved in The Sopranos with everyday life: the political program gets into your living room.

"It also happens with Cuéntame. Now an approximation to the year 2020 is going to be made. Approaching current times is a way of bringing the ember to the sardine of the management of the coronavirus," they add from TVE.

What a nightmare.

The controversies

The plots that reign in the tabletop series address themes so current that the characters in a series, for example, set in the Restoration seem typical of Cintora's program.

For example, Antoñito in 'Acacias', a conservative politician, can be extrapolated to Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.

In fact, he approaches the workers' strikes of that time as if he were one of the protagonists of the Columbus photo.

In 'Servir y Protecte' and 'Mercado Central' there were two plot attempts of children stolen during the Franco regime.

And in the last one, there is a love story between a boy and a transsexual.

Also during several chapters one of the narrative threads dealt with a network of urban corruption in which the Gürtel and Púnica were obvious inspirations and the leave of the politicians involved in the fiction reminded those of the PP.

'Mercado Central' is a mine to strain the progressive political argument.

The most surprising thing in 'Amar es para siempre', the continuation of 'Amar in troubled times' that has now advanced until the Transition.

In this Antena 3 series, one of the protagonists hesitates to vote YES or NO to the Constitution of 78 because it did not include the feminist argument, an anachronistic and crazy assertion (there was no Constitution in any advanced nation that had them) but it helps to cement the belief that the '78 regime was not a success.
