We Keep LGBTQ+ Women & Girls Up-To-Date
If you're looking for an entertaining teen series, "You're Nothing Special" and its surprisingly lesbian character might just be the hidden gem you've been waiting for. To learn more, read on.
Created by Estíbaliz Burgaleta, one of the talents behind "Skam España," and co-written with Alberto Grondona (Las Chicas del Cable) and Sergio Granda (Skam España), "You're Nothing Special" (Tú no eres especial) is a Spanish series that shines with its freshness and originality.
At the center of the "You're Nothing Special" story is Amaia, a young girl whose life takes an unexpected turn when she leaves her busy life in Barcelona to live in Salabarria, her mom's boring town. But what seemed like a peaceful and monotonous place soon reveals its hidden mysteries and challenges.
As Amaia becomes friends with three high school classmates, they discover Amaia inherited her grandmother's magical talents. This discovery leads her into a world where she sometimes tries to play with her newfound abilities. Quickly, she becomes the person people rely on to solve love problems.
From the very beginning of "You're Nothing Special," the characters make us feel welcome in their adventures. While Amaia falls for the high school heartthrob, the others are looking for their soulmates or to lose their virginity. These escapades are at the heart of the story, making episodes fun to watch. They are filled with humor and an easygoing atmosphere that lets us naturally immerse ourselves in this refreshing and funny tale.
The series also surprises with its LGBTQ+ representation, introducing both a prominent gay character, Javi, and an unexpected lesbian character. Indeed, in the middle of season 1, we find out that Irene is a lesbian. This revelation is surprising because, from the start, Irene is presented solely as the girlfriend of the popular high school guy. In reality, this twist uncovers one of the series' strengths–Irene's character possesses greater depth than initially revealed.
