oh teresa why are you always horny for the worst (also prettiest) people
― mark s, Thursday, 7 November 2019 21:03 (four years ago) link
spoiler*: teresa sexing a hottie who already sent the entire series extremely betraying her
*i mean obviously not a spoiler if you ever watch this show lol
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:15 (four years ago) link
the sexing is on an aztec pyramid, is where it is
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link
i mean on a blanket but
feeling like everyone's a bit softer in this series?
(not sure this makes total sense, a minor character was burnt at a stake in the previous ep lol -- but the pellmell trashiness is toned down and some of the longtime villains have their nice sides fleshed out a bit) (which is OK!) (also the worst new villains are beasts!)
(but there's no one to match ratta)

flavio medina is a great singer (if it's him singing, i know they can do stuff with overdubs and such these days)
also he won the 2015 TVyNovelas Award for Best Antagonist Actor
― mark s, Thursday, 28 November 2019 22:57 (four years ago) link
so S2 showed up on Netflix the other day!! when i watched half of the first episode the other week, which was all i could find on youtube at the time, i made a prediction to my niece (whom i've watched S1 with two times). for no concrete reason i felt like Abdelkader was gonna show up at some point. still, surprised the **ck outta me when it happened!!

lomg break: back again to note that sofia is also good at ugly crying (and her situation -- kidnapped kid -- merits it)

terrific heist-movie type double caper in e30 s2, not sure it's going to end 100% well tho

after [checks previous post] exactly two months too tired in the evening to engage i am BACK ON TERESA MENDOZA'S BULLSHIT
of course as soon as i click into it it leaps into ultra-lurid action: blood AND absurdity AND tangly backstory hurrah

meanwhile sofia has escaped lupo but fallen down into a deserted sarlacc pit

oo blimey unexpected headshot and pool bleeding
sometimes the high-def filming in s2 really does work with the story
― mark s, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 20:37 (four years ago) link
a thing abt s2 is that it can go long stretches -- lengthened by me not watching for weeks on end -- where all most of what happens is small-bore and even sentimental
and then it remembers it's abt love in the time of narcotraffic and gets v bloody again
― mark s, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 20:40 (four years ago) link
i found this season had fewer sentimental boring parts than S1, which had Theresa quoting that poem about twilight all the time, and the scenes of her and whichever lover to whatever that theme song was that got played quite a few times. freaking awesome show still. i wonder if they'll come back in 8 years again. also, i wish i were Godoy, irl

lol six months of the rona as hiatus and im back on TM's bullshit ppl (ep32)
in which TM is a lethal boss again
― mark s, Thursday, 27 August 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link
i have got weirdly out of step with myself -- some of the plot i have already seen, other bits not even slightly
(unless sections of the story just repeat themselves competely, which seems unlikely: i guess i realised i'd not been watching carefully at some point -- viz tweeting while watching lol -- and went back and totally forgot i did this?)
― mark s, Thursday, 27 August 2020 19:01 (three years ago) link
ok i am exactly back where i was on 1 March 2020 20:26, i guess i just completely missed one the (extremely um vivid) resolution of one particular strand three eps ago (and also for some reason netflix restarted me three eps ago)
― mark s, Thursday, 27 August 2020 19:22 (three years ago) link
back on my bullshit baby

lupo and the sexy assassin suddenly grappling in balaclavas
(lol did they fuck before? looks like they will soon)
― mark s, Monday, 30 November 2020 20:37 (three years ago) link
probably i shd have watched this all joined up, i no longer know who the sexy assassin is working for
― mark s, Monday, 30 November 2020 20:38 (three years ago) link
lol jesus, this is all a bit saving private ryan (except i don't give fuck abt this guy whose name i don't even know)

i wish i liked -- or hated -- zurdo more (or believed there was even a spark between him and T), bcz this is a *terrific* pulpy twist
brought abt largely by the fact that all mexican crims live 3 minutes away from one another w/o knowing it but

oh no it's "plan trotsky" that can't be good

gotta say s2 does make good use of the much bigger budget sometimes
― mark s, Monday, 30 November 2020 22:07 (three years ago) link
even when it makes some of the plot turns seem extremely goofy
love how stubborn and capable sofia is (and how complicated this makes everything for the all adults)

s2 has a very different feel
― mark s, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 19:30 (three years ago) link
loool a very word-heavy reveal at a fraught everyone-back-together moment suddenly casually tosses in the claim -- i think meant to be true, a man is pleading for his life -- that the US are interfering in mexico's elections by ensuring the president is (a) a legendarily corrupt gangster and (b) a puppet in their pocketses
― mark s, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link
during the extremely long word-dump recap the approaching threat has once again been the sexy assassin on a bike but the recap-reveal is so detailed that it feels like she's motored across the whole of mexico
― mark s, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:09 (three years ago) link
oh no

it is effective that -- in this tangled war between very bad gangsters doing murders and stuff -- the overarching baddie who allows us to withhold full judgment is washington, behaving very much more badly

this is a documentary
haha this US agency is out-of-the-box evil
and it's not even the CIA

not helping that i started watching this series 1 x yrs ago, binged like 40eps, stopped for 10 months for various reasons inc 🦠🦠🦠🦠 and am back again and bingeing again -- some of these callbacks are p mysterious to me, like who is this young tied-up man suddenly
(last week he was skateboarding in front of congress in washington and he's kira's nephew but how does he have a plot role, i just entirely forgot)
