    Inspire is the wrong word, because I’m old enough to be her mum, but I really loved Valeria in Veneno.

        Just forewarning, they explore some pretty confronting topics and queerphobia. It’s one of the most moving series I’ve seen, but it’s not a good idea if you’re feeling vulnerable.

            It’s basically a biography of a famous, early trans icon from Spain (Veneno). It explores a lot of the trauma she experienced in her life.

            It’s one of the most compelling and powerful pieces of television I’ve seen, but it’s not an easy watch.

                  Well only watched ep 1. I liked the moment where Cristina opened the door and was just herself. I really identify with her aloof behavior in public, it’s like armor. It’s fun for other people but sometimes damaging to myself, do you know what I mean?

            Perfect summary of my experience with it too!
