This show is a new form of international media with authentic Mexican and U.S. viewpoints embedded.
The storytelling & cultural narratives are gorgeous, and the writing and production are on point. The characters keep unfolding. It pokes fun all over.
It’s a JOY to watch.

The intersection of tech and media access is so interesting here. This show is produced in Mexico 
, popular all over Latin America 
, and I can stream it on my couch in NYC. 
What does that scale do to the type of media one makes? What do you do with that power?

Context: in 2008, I studied abroad in Central Mexico. I lived in a dorm. My roommates & I would watch Rebelde, a telenovela, together every week.
When I got home, a friend mailed me a box of black market Rebelde DVDs. It took a month to arrive. That was the only way to see it.

Now I can stream a popular, current Mexican telenovela on my couch after work in the U.S.
Monolo Caro, the creator, is a genius. He’s my age. I am in awe.
So smart. So funny. This dude is legit.

This glorious thread brought to you by my deep gratitude for art that helps me escape the grind. 
I got off work at midnight after seeing 50 Emergency Department patients in the last two days.
The grief of the world is heavy.
Joy is resistance.

I should cut myself off already, but Manolo Caro is seriously a big deal. I was comparing him to Pedro Almodóvar in my head, then I figured that many other people would have thought of that already, when ta-da they totally did: https://remezcla.com/film/trailer-la-casa-de-las-flores-netflix/
