Best Catalan TV has to Offer
Merlí, the best show Spanish TV has to offer. This brilliant series follows a philosophy teacher and a handful of his students during their bachelorette years of high school (the last two years).A teacher that is unorthodox, captivating, and sincere to his students.
Everyone that watches this show has to remember it's meant for a Spanish audience, this means: Public school systems in Spain are horrible compared to the US, Philosophy is a mandatory class to pass, and the majority of low socioeconomic status families are the ones described by the show.
It's a truly amazing show, showing social, economic, and most importantly personal problems.
I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll finish the review right here. Do watch this in Catalan with subtitles if necessary.
I do want to state, I've lived in Barcelona for the majority of my life, and I know the cultural context too well.
