According to Hablemos de Series RD —a social media platform and podcast that discusses all of our favorite TV shows from the past, the present, and those about to come —if there is something that the 21st century and the technology that came with it has given us, it is the ease of being able to enjoy content on-demand and different platforms.
Luckily, we no longer depend only on television and schedules; now, we can use a remote that allows us to select what we like and watch it when we feel like it.

Mexico, a country that has given us so many unforgettable soap operas, has created an Amazon Prime tv and PANTAYA series to tell the story of a group of friends, all in a stable relationship, who decide to venture into “swinger parties,” and ditch their routine to add a spicy side to their love lives.
Valeria
If friendship and self-improvement series are your thing, we recommend Valeria, an original Spanish series for Netflix, based on the novels by Elísabet Benavent. The story tells the life of Valeria, a young writer who isn’t going through her best moment. Although her work is not going well and her love life is declining, we can also enjoy the story parallel that she tells us about each of her friends: Carmen, Lola, and Nerea.
