“So I totally donu0026#39;t get the bad reviews at all. Itu0026#39;s a drama that explores human nature, identity, and culture. Not a mindbending plot, but fresh perspectives that are timely and very much needed to demonstrate the range of American life today.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis show moves us well past Ugly Bettyu0026#39;s America Ferrera and a second generation Latina making it in the world of NYCu0026#39;s fashion journalism scene. This also moves us past Modern Familyu0026#39;s Sofia Vergara and the quintessential American blended family…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn the one hand, this show fully explores intersectionality. Every protagonist is a female, and a second and third generation Latina in Los Angeles. The show also engages with class, immigration woes, and gentrification by female protagonists in a way I havenu0026#39;t seen before. The show also explores sexuality from the female gaze. The characters shatter the stereotypes about what it means to be Latino/a in the US today. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn the one hand, this is totally an anti-Girls/post-SATC show. And at the same time, this is exactly the sort of thing that demonstrates the multitude of structural realities present in American life that Ta-Nehisi Coates critiques in u0026quot;Between the World and Meu0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIdentity is complicated, and reconciling multiple cultural pasts and presents is an ongoing process! The women of Vida are bad ass and finding their own way.”
