Intimidad

I watched Intimidad because I loved Itziar Ituno in La Casa De Papel. While I think Ituno shone as Malen Zubiri in Intimidad, I was incredibly moved by this series as a whole. First of all, the cinematography was gorgeous. While it moved at a slower pace than I expected, I thought that the show dealt with topics like sexism, discrimination, violations of privacy, sex crimes, workplace harassment, grief, and mental health in a compassionate way. I loved that the show focused on the experiences of women from all walks of life, and I think this show can be very healing for anyone who has had to struggle with any of these issues. I know that it was for me.

This is a TV show the world needs today. It's powerful, moving, unsettling, it tells stories of women mistreated by the world of men and by the world of the tactless and nosey. It makes one understand how vulnerable and unprotected we may all come to be and how fragile everything we have built is. And it makes one realize that it's worth fighting for our identity, for being true to ourselves and looking the world directly in the face without being afraid or ashamed. A potent message. And impeccable acting. And Itziar Ituño is just brilliant.

Quite an engaging series. It's binge-worthy at 8 episodes.

What do I like about it? The script is well-written, the stories are multi-layered and the themes it tackles resonates with the viewer. The viewer, either male or female easily relates with the characters. And the actors portraying them are praise-worthy; their acting is spot on.

The stories themselves are about ordinary people just wanting to make a mark in the world in the best way they think possible and struggling to try to realize it. The insights the movie imparts amplify the human condition. Moments of introspection by the characters reinforce these insights.

This is another example of a long list of fine Spanish films worthy of our attention. No braggadocio just solid acting. As it is made, it's complete; all the major issues are resolved. A season 2 might not be needed although the producers and director could surprise us with a better season 2.

I don't agree that it is a series addressed to women. I think it is addressed to everyone and this is a very real social issue. With the advent of social media, mobile phones and the recklessness of people trying to revenge or expose other persons this is a very realistic story touching different people in the series. Good lesson for younger people.

Good scenario, excellent acting, good cinematography and even the ending is quite realistic.

I nearly cried in certain parts of this series, especially in the last episode of season 1. That scene between sisters was so touching and heartbreaking. The actors are fantastic in this series, they draw you in and make you feel something. I hope for a season 2.
