I've been divorced a couple of times and it's one of the hardest things someone can go through. After watching a few episodes I asked myself why am I re-living this experience... then I started to get the directors point. Perhaps the institution of marriage is an archaic construct. It sort of reminds me of the theme I found in the movie 'Her' whereby a similar interpretation of a life long monogamous relationship isn't all that relevant for our species. That said, making this movie in a Catholic country seems daring. I'm glad I followed through and completed the series. I guess I enjoyed it more than most.

The characters were initially consistent and well developed, and, up until the last two chapters, the story was very engaging. Then the characters' internal logic disappeared and with that the story. The endong was absurd. I am not saying it from a moralist perspective but from a realistic one. How come someone who has been harassing women and cheating on his wife has a change of heart after a few hours of attending anti-machoist workshop? I am not an expert in ethical non monogamy but I find it hard to believe that a broken marriage suddenly works out after a threesome that just happened after everyone got drunk and high. Suddenly seems to know knows their place and role in a relationship involving the initally broken couple + the boyfriend. That happens just 'naturally' with little to no communication about past issues or boundaries. Sure.... marriage is dead but fixing a relationship - of whatever nature - would take a lot more than that.

I'm on season 1 episode 7.

I like how this show highlights issues of feminism, and differences among genders on what that really means. I found the relationship dramas to be relatable. It got me thinking about class issues a lot. For example, the indigenous caregiver is the first one accused and arrest when the little girl goes missing. Yet she is the one caring for her the most! I'm not done with the last episode, so I don't know what becomes of this injustice yet. All in all it's a good show.
