🎞 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🎞
My dear lovers of good Spanish-language series, if I loved the first one, I loved this one even more! 😎 Envidiosa is an Argentine series starring Griselda Siciliani and Esteban Lamothe, which offers wonderful insights into many topics that I will discuss below. However, I want to tell you right away that the series is classified as a comedy-drama, has won awards, and a contract has already been signed to make a third season, because that's what the audience wanted.
We can say that Victoria gave us everything this season. Her jealousy, envy, sadness, drama, and relentless quest to fit into a world of stereotypes take her through a sea of emotions, feelings, and compromising situations that keep us on the edge of our seats throughout every episode. Let me tell you something, breaking out of pathological behavior is not easy. It takes more than just willpower or saying one day, “I'm going to change.” Change first requires that I recognize what I want to change and, above all, why I want to change it.
For example, when we go to a psychologist, they ask us, “Why are you here?” Very few people know for sure what they have, or the probable cause of why they think they are going, and it turns out that they end up going or developing a very different issue from that first encounter. The second question, “Why do I want to change?” is sometimes confused with “Who do I want to do it for?” And there lies a problem because change has to be for ourselves in order to relate to others. If we don't feel good, we can't give what we don't have to those around us.
Vicky's biggest problem is that she doesn't recognize that she has a problem, and that's the worst part of a person, “not recognizing that their conduct or behavior is affecting the way they relate to others.” In addition, her beliefs about family, marriage, and stability are at odds with what life is offering her. Part of the problem is her lack of self-love and not knowing how to distinguish between what she wants and how to achieve it. And with that, I feel completely identified. Many times I asked myself, “Why do bad things happen to me?” Because I blamed my entire environment and did not see my share of responsibility in my relationships with others.
Vicky blames the world for everything: her friends for getting married, her mother for having a relationship, her boyfriend for not begging her, Daniel for not being her boyfriend, even the dog! For not loving Daniel, EVERYONE! And this will lead her to get into trouble chapter after chapter, because she doesn't know how to manage and control her emotions. There were some situations that made me hate her, “AHHH! WOMAN, WAKE UP!” And feel angry at her, even saying, “Serves you right.” For me, this is always a sign that the series is VERY GOOD, that it makes me feel like I'm part of the characters, as if I were experiencing the story firsthand😊.
Matías is the complete opposite; he's a sweetheart. He's the kind of person who will always be our best friend. Sadly, that's how it is. When there is a man who treats us well, who is simple, who has aspirations, but who doesn't meet society's standards, he may be the best, but we leave him on the sidelines, looking for the stereotype that fits in with other people's praise and not with how we feel about that person, which is what should really matter. Matías is still that man who understood everything. Here's a quote that applies to everything: “I need to be with someone who thinks the same way two days in a row, who doesn't make me feel jealous or insecure, who helps me, who is by my side. Someone who sees me... That's what I need.”
And quite simply, that quote sums up what we need to look for and find in all the people we interact with. I loved his role, his way of separating things, his gallantry in not hurting other people, and also aspiring to be loved. It doesn't mean just on a whim or because “it happened to him,” but because it is certainly what should be a priority within the relationship.

From the series Simply a genuine approach. This series does away with the role of the typical long-suffering protagonist, or rather, the protagonist who has been doing things wrong and has to realize it in order to do better. I loved the therapeutic part; few series also touch on a doctor's appointment in a realistic way, and yet here it is part of the series, and believe me, when the psychologist asked the questions, I tried to answer. I was certainly immersed in the character.
Another thing I loved was the soundtrack. I didn't appreciate it much in the first season, but as the episodes went by, it became more intense and accompanied the moments being experienced. The one I liked the most is by Potra (I don't know if it's a band or a singer), called Ninja. Part of it goes like this: “I'm losing my mind, tell me you love me, say it slowly, say it again, say it to me, say it to him, shout it to him...” (song in Argentine Spanish).
As for the friends, the mother, Daniel, the job, the sister, and her story, everything was very nice; you will enjoy it very much. There was only one process of inclusion, which I did not see as necessary, but it does not affect the plot that unfolded. Loving yourself hurts, it is a process, but once you start, there is no turning back 😍.
