Nothing to See Here

Letting your little blind baby bird fly from the nest is as difficult for the loving overprotective parents as it is for Alexis to do. As the blind guy Alexis gets more pity while Charly, who puts on all the hard work, gets more direct derision. Having been disabled for a couple years after being hit by a car (a theme revisited many ways in this series) I fully appreciate the "otherness"feeling that drives the sensibility of this series so carefully explored both for comedic and sentimental value. Alexis has done standup on Netflix so this feels semi autobiographical to me, and moving from Querétaro to CDMX is a classic story of going to the big city filled with danger and opportunity . Living in Mexico I appreciated the reality of living there (saw with friends from there too) and about Mexican society with the privileged young Whitezicans needing a "cause" to take up to overcome their guilt.

Real, gritty, fun and original this series really is a lovely surprise and refreshing!
