Dafne and the Rest

• To wrap things up, we can summarize that Todo lo otro is a very good series, far surpassing the usual standards of its format: entertaining, funny, realistic in its own way, and with the artistic quality you would expect from HBO Max.

• On the other hand, the cast delivers an ensemble performance that feels remarkably organic, with a special chemistry among them. It is a series that delivers on its promises, making for an enjoyable experience that will connect with a meaningful part of the audience.

• Now, another of my favorite moments is when Dafne runs down the street like an intense person who had one drink too many, bursting into Greta y los Garbo's 'Pienso tanto en ti'. Because all of us have been her... many times, more than we care to remember.

• Thirty-somethings today have neither steady jobs nor houses of their own, nor desires to start a family. Perhaps they drink too much and normalize drugs when they shouldn't. And their relationships are a disaster. But why does that have to be a bad thing? Abril Zamora puts all these themes on the table in Todo lo otro, one of the Spanish productions released by HBO in recent years.

• Unfiltered, highly relatable, and darkly hilarious, this half-hour series, written and directed by Zamora, stars real-life friends whose characters band together through the messiest of moments in their quests to be loved and accepted.
