If Carlos Cuevas isn't queer, which I kinda think he isn't based on a few translated articles I read, it's so funny he's completely been typecast as that guy you call when Spanish tv/Netflix needs a queer Spanish man. Pol, Alex, Salai, and at least 2 more.
Picture this, it's summer. But you're stuck at the most boring job in the world and suddenly, you remember somebody from your past. Someone you knew. Someone who was dear to you. A love you wasted.
So I made a Merlí and Un Professore crossover back in 2022.
Not a lot of people really read it. I mean...It probably sounds gimmicky. But I'm very proud of it. So I'm going to take advantage of this new Un Professore season to redirect you all to it.
The story? It's Pol roaming the streets of Rome to look for Bruno. Along the way he bumps into Manuel who, similar to him, has hit a snag in his life. The two form an unlikely friendship and hopefully, along the way, find healing together.

So, I managed to not see the news about David Solans completely leaving Merlí: Sapere Aude back in May, and I'm really sad now. Looking back at the first season, he's absolutely justified in doing so.
The whole show barely gave any development to the side characters, which is made even worse when we know that Brunol is supposed to be endgame. Hector disregarding David's complaints about not getting his just appearance and story, and calling him unprofessional or having a "lack of commitment" is rich considering MSA season one left so much of the relationship between Bruno and Pol to be explored. It's especially bitter when all of the promo shots for the show where of both of them together.
Instead, we get Pol falling in love with entirely someone else, in a season without a single mention of Pol's best friend and soulmate. I was planning to watch season 2, but that's definitely not going to happen now.
