At this point, I’m thinking any new shows won’t start until the new year.

I’m still slogging through Malverde. You can find all my complaints on Twitter @ElCoheteBlog

Also still watching Season 2 of Hercai. They’re slowly building up to revealing all the secrets, but I’m not sure how much more show there is to do that in.

I hope you’re all having a good weekend.

What the fuck is this nonsense?

That’s all I’ve got.

Schedule shenanigans at Telemundo

Starting next week, Parientes a la fuerza is getting moved to 12am. My condolences to anyone who was watching.

And Hercai is coming back with Season 2 on Wednesday! They’ve basically shown in previews that it’s nothing new, but I hope we get answers by the end of it.

Also, Por Amor o Dinero starts Wednesday in place of Casa de las famosos.

I’ve got the daily TV schedule back up, but I think it’s already out of date. That’s about it. What’s up with you?

It’s about that time.

Diseñando tu amor is over. The first season of Hercai is about to end. What am I going to watch?!

This Tuesday is the Gran Final of Diseñando tu amor, which is the only show I’m up to date with. I’m sad to see it end, but the story (so nice to have one!) is coming to a close. So far, I haven’t seen anything to replace it. Contigo sí was supposed to be up next, but they may want to hold on to it and give us more La Rosa de Guadalupe for a while. *eye roll*

I’ve been watching some stuff on Netflix that you might like:

• Mucho Mucho Amor: the Legend of Walter Mercado – documentary
• The first season of Control Z – high-stakes high school drama about secrets, with social media playing a significant role. There is a second season, but I kind of needed a breather after the first one!
• La Venganza de las Juanas – five sisters all named Juana find each other and start searching for their father. Lots of familiar faces in this one: Carlos Ponce, Oka Giner, Renata Notni, Zuria Vega. I’m about halfway through the 10-episode season.
• Blood & Water – this one’s not Spanish-language, but I’m a sucker for a private school setting. Uniforms = drama? There are two seasons, so far, about South African high school kids dealing with parentification, drugs, sex, child trafficking, and finding out their parents are involved in some serious shit.

Have you seen anything lately I need to check out?

Here’s a new show coming “soon” from Telemundo–La mujer de mi vida:

This article came across my Twitter feed and I feel it speaks to my experiences as a heritage speaker:

I’m No Less of a Latina Just Because My Spanish Isn’t Perfect

Vencer el pasado, the fourth (and last?) installment of the Vencer series starts on Tuesday on Univision, taking the place of Si nos dejan, which ends Monday.

We’ve got some new shows coming out of nowhere.

NBCUniverso is putting on a Turkish series at 7pm starting Monday–Él es mi hijo.

A rerun of Complices al rescate starts Monday on UniMás at 8am.
