It's the 1920s and Spain has just gotten its first national telephone company, located in Madrid. For four young women who get jobs there, it's more than just work. It represents progress that is being made at the time as women are gaining more equality with men. This drama series follows the ladies, known as "cable girls," who feel attached in different ways -- to their families, their partners and their memories.

Michael Cuby them. 10/31/2022
Despite its period setting, the series has boldly tackled subjects like queerness, polyamory, and the pains that commonly arise from a life spent in the closet. Go to Full Review María Alba Espinof 03/02/2020

It is shocking to see how a supposed reporter from the 30s already uses expressions like 'fake news'. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ana R @RT52729946 Jul 17 Uma das melhores series que vi nos ultimos anos. Certo que a banda sonora é um bocado desapropriada, tendo em conta que se passa no fim dos anos 20 e em espanhol, mas a história é tão boa! Tão viciante! Muito bem representada por todos os atores, e deveras mostram e ensinam uma força inexplicável. Baseada em factos reais de uma época demasiado difícil e dolorosa. Recomendo muito! Vale muito a pena ver! See more 08/12/2020 Very uncool moment yikes See more 07/03/2020 I love this show!!!! See more Read all reviews
