#francoist span is a hell of a deep dive if you're interested

[malewifehenrycooldown]

not interested in stranger things (the first season is perfect as a stand alone story imo), but SBS on Demand has this show called ‘Paraíso’ which has a very strong Stranger Things vibe but it’s set in the late 1980s-early 1990s (at least I think it’s that time period) in SPAIN. I’ve only seen one episode but the ending to that episode is a real cliff hanger and I’m interested to see where it goes.

also the end credits song is a banger, literally once i heard it I had to go looking for it.

#also. neon lighting my beloved <3 #if your show has neon lights and a neo noir-ish aesthetic. I'm GOING TO WATCH IT #best way i can describe it has the same lighting vibe as reprisal and john wick #shallow rambles #honestly knowing the political and historical context of the time it's taking place in REALLY sets a tone for the story #if you know and understand the context #you'll understand why they take the direction they do in the show #francoist span is a hell of a deep dive if you're interested #*spain #that said the first episode is a little slow but it catches up real quickly at the end. #also there are some moments that feel like they don't have a narrative purpose but rather for cheap suspense and thrills #note that there are some references to books and stuff like lotr and a character getting the original gameboy for his birthday
