Recommendations The 6 best action series of the moment
Intimacy
has been placed among the most watched on Netflix
.
This dramatic series, recently released on the platform, portrays a reality that no one wants to see... until it touches them up close.
And
it talks about many issues that make it a complex production full of edges.
Can a person
put up with their sex life being in the public domain
?
How far can you
stand the looks of others
when they know that they have seen you beyond what you would like?
These questions and many more hover over a Spanish production in which
two women suffer when their intimate photos and videos are published.
Malen (Itziar Ituño) is the deputy mayor of Bilbao.
TWO WOMEN, TWO WORLDS
Malen Zubiri
(Itziar Ituño,
La casa de papel
) is the
deputy mayor of Bilbao
.
Her future plans include running for mayor.
But suddenly, something upsets her plans.
And a lot.
The broadcast of a video of her making love on the beach with someone who is not her husband
overwhelms her and completely alters her life.
On the other hand, we find
Ana Uribe (Verónica Echegui,
once demonstrating her great ability to act with a different accent).
This woman who works in a factory begins to see strange behavior among her colleagues.
She doesn't know what's going on but she suspects something is up.
The reason?
A video of her and some risqué photos of her
have spread like wildfire and someone puts him on her notice.
Without revealing anything else about the plot, we must point out that
the selection of these two characters for the story does not seem casual
.
One is a public figure and the other is not;
one becomes strong before public opinion, the other collapses;
one has supports, the other looks very lonely and explodes.
Two situations that
exemplify the multiple reactions that this type of event
usually provokes in the victims.
Ana (Verónica Echegui) is one of the victims.
VICTIMS FIRST
Anger, fear, shame and guilt
are some of the feelings experienced by these two main characters.
But, since not everything begins and ends with Ana and Malen, here we discover that family, friends and colleagues have a lot to contribute.
In addition to those who mock and use these attacks on privacy to take advantage
, there are many more characters who contribute a lot to the plot.
This is the case of
Alicia (Ana Wagener),
the police in charge of investigating these cybercrimes and who shows the human face of the security forces.
Or Ana's sister
(Patricia López Arnaiz)
, who fights for her beyond normal;
Malen's assistant (Francesco Carril)
who
remains faithful to her despite her circumstances;
Malen
's boss (Emma Suárez)
or the respective partners of the two victims, who suffer for them and their little ones.

CREATOR TEAM
Jorge Torregrossa
is one of the directors of this series created by
Verónica Fernández
(
Hospital Central
,
Cuéntame
) and
Laura Sarmiento
(
Isabel
), two greats of recent Spanish television fiction.
Three respected figures
who have managed to make the plot as complex as
the evil that social networks can create
... when human beings forget about morality and respect.
Slowly
paced
, this eight-part fiction set in Bilbao has echoes of many Scandinavian police thrillers, including
Borgen
because of its political ramifications, and is in tune with the recent
Everybody Lies
because of the issue of intimacy.
In addition,
he avoids morbidity when he talks about blackmail for sexual videos
, spending a lot of time reflecting on how this fact affects the environment that surrounds the victims.
And emphasizing very macho behaviors that still exist in today's society.
