While the themes that emerge in 'Vestidas de azul' may be interesting, the series remains on the surface resulting in a harmful two-dimensionality when portraying the lives of these transgender individuals. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

A worthy successor to Veneno; It's a homage to the trans pioneers of the Spanish Transition, and also a critical reflection on the evolution of trans representation in Spanish culture. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
