"In the day time, I'm Andres, just a normal guy with a normal life, but there's something there is something that nobody knows, that I have a secret"

"It's Berlin-"

Perfect, anon! As long as we're watching Disney anyway.

#the whole berlin thing is so annoying #but what's more annoying to me personally is the gradual watering down of Pina's writing (at least regarding lcdp) #I know he's not writing prestige tv and I'm not saying only 'violent' writing is good #and it's not even particularly about Violence or the lack of it. vol 1 was the most violent and the worst writing of his I've seen lmfao #it got insanely stereotypical with his main characters losing their edge #Martín becoming a big no revenge softie in the span of one season #Bogotá becoming a twitter ally #whatever the fuck is happening to Berlin now lol #like compare all of this to the first part of lcdp which had this cold sharpness to it. genuinely uncomfortable scenes that left a bad taste #in your mouth even with no violence #and it was pretty balanced! it did have its fair share of heart and laughter and love and nice vibes #but it was sharp and the characters seemed very real and multidimensional and people seriously capable of harm #they were actual hardened criminals. which is the only thing that makes sense lol. ' #naive characters like Rio who were in for the fun of it got the biggest reality slaps because doing crime on that level wasn’t a joke lol #and that's what gave the show actual tension #and made it fun to watch #now it has this disney element where I just can't believe any of them lmfao. sure we don’t know much but on the very least I don’t believe #Andrés. He's barely a character here. he's like the criminal version of ted lasso #which sure. a show like that could work fine on its own #but remember when the original network was negotiating with Pina on whether a character like Berlin was even appropriate for tv and #swallowable by audiences because how paradoxical and perverse he was? #now he's ladybug
