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.

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/">https://remezcla.com/film/trai...
