In it As if it were yesterday We're experiencing an epidemic of female characters falling head over heels for the seductive charms of dishonest males. First, there was Silvia, who succumbed to the digital flirtation of a man who wanted to buy a lamp from her online. And it turns out she ended up screwing her brother-in-law, one of them. fretsaw The category of those who snatch everything they can through mobile apps. We also suffered the grotesque plot of cousins Gina and Lídia, who both became involved with the same criminal. One of the so-called "love scammers" who wanted to take their money. He entangled them to an unprecedented level, and both gave in to suspicious demands for money, which they accepted with unprecedented innocence. In recent weeks, we've updated our bookmarks with Eugeni's plot. A mass-conspirator who dedicates himself to captivating women by exhibiting such exaggerated flattering oratory that it seems impossible for him to catch them three at a time. Gemma, Celia, and Cristina have already been to the hotel room the individual uses as a rabbit hole. We could still place Patri in this category, who only needed to meet an arrogant activist a couple of times to dump her boyfriend. It turns out that with the defender of noble causes, she establishes a toxic relationship that the girl can't identify: she has submissively faced the constant scorn and unjustified outbursts of indignation that point to clear psychological abuse. It was already difficult for Eva to get rid of the armless man who was taking advantage of her by acting as his personal assistant. Now all that's missing is Marta, who, inexplicably, ends up calling the abuser of her foster son because he's had a problem with the car. Mind-blowing. In other words, when she feels most unprotected, lost on a lonely road, she has no better idea than to ask for help from the man who has just been released from prison for serious domestic violence, the bastard who has terrorized and blackmailed the teenager she loves like a son. And when it comes to asking for a spark to power the car, more than an existential dilemma, she seems to feel seduced by an aggressor. All of them, except Patri, are already somewhat experienced and already know the drill in relationships with men.

Dear writers, a little bit of back-to-back talk, please. We know these things can happen. But everything so concentrated in the same season and in consecutive weeks is desperate. They seem like the female roles in a Turkish series. A little empowerment, please, to serve as a model. We're in the 21st century. We'd appreciate a woman who could crush them from an hour away, who would stand up to them, who would set limits immediately, who would screw up their strategies or who would get them going without breaking a sweat. Instead of the As if it were yesterday It seems that we see the As if they were chard.
