'Vida' TV Series on Starz

Trailer.

Carlos Miranda is so gorgeous I can barely focus on the dialogue. He shows his pancake ass in all three episodes that have aired so far. Smoothest butt I've ever seen. What's his secret, I wonder?

Jackson Davis gets his ass eaten and fingered in the first episode.

Delightful.

A lesbian sex scene so hot it made my mouth water.

Ramses Jimenez, who plays a charming douche, is one hot fucker as well. Those lips up close are [italic]everything.[/italic]

I'm craving an opinion about this show from Latino and Latina DLers. When the first episode finished airing, I felt half an hour was the perfect length but now I think it's not enough and I find myself wanting to spend [italic]way[/italic] more time with them.

Aside from the colourful world, don't you just love narratives where the characters turn a business around?

Gods, if every auto mechanic looked like this...

R6 mmmmm yas

Another great episode. Again, I could watch a full hour of scripted drama every week with just people troubleshooting their business and trying to improve it. Such a satisfying feeling that gives me for some reason.

Lesbian drama (in a good way), with some awful revelations. Plus, two contrasting parties and a bus ride home that conveyed more than a thousand words. I'm from the projects and I've been in the exact same situation plenty of times. Emotions, emotions everywhere.

Emma totally fainted because she's not used to intimacy during her hookups, correct? Dear god, when she put the fingers in her mouth... one of the most erotic things I've ever seen on TV.

I'm so glad Ramses Jimenez's character ended up not being a douche and he's actually a decent guy. What a rollercoaster ride that was.

Oh, and does anyone know what kind of a drug the name "Diego" stands for? The bartender says Dirty Frida contains tequila, orange mist and... Diego (with a wink). Is it peyote? Is that legal to serve in a bar?

“Vida!!! Give me that check! I said GIVE IT TO ME!!!”

"Is it peyote? Is that legal to serve in a bar?"

Yes, darling. I've had many a Peyote Fizz whilst munching on the nachos at the local taqueria. So nummy! So effervescent!

In the meantime, when are some hot latin gay guys going to be shown having sex?

Don't be timid, Vida producers. You're doing a great job so far!

Thanks OP I'm going to check this out

I forgot to mention, always add a slice of citrus when you order a Peyote Fizz. Especially when you're getting it from 7-11. Yes, it says "juice from lime and lime extract" on the bottle. But it's just not the same. I heard that over at La Loqueria they add maraschino cherries but who would want to drink such a chingada?

Another lesbionic series but no GAY MALES, hard pass.

Best episode yet. Oh, how I love watching conflict play out inside marginalized communities (Latinos at various levels of acculturation, women belonging to different classes, different kinds of lesbians) without any interference from the straight white guy. The singing at the end was a salve for my soul. What was that yellow and red drink that Mari's friend was drinking? Seemed like the unhealthiest shit ever, but at the same time also something that the Aztec gods of old would imbibe. Speaking of deities...

Carlos Miranda is a work of art. Imagine him plopping you onto his lap, staring lovingly into your eyes, and telling you "No back-and-forth thing, baby. All-in." I just about melted.

r16 There were gay guys in this and the last episode, but it's hard to explore secondary characters in a 30-minute episode in a six-episode season. Also, this is the first season so it could have come across as trying too hard to tick all the boxes. And I say that as a gay guy who constantly bitches in The Expanse thread about there being no gay guys in the three seasons of that show. However, I expect the showrunner to do something with a gay male character next season and I'll be disappointed if that doesn't happen.

The drink in question. I think there were pineapples in that?

I just watched the 5 first episodes. I loved it. I can't wait for next week.

Great show!

And the guy who plays Johnny and the girl who plays Lyn are the most beautiful humans on earth.

r20 They really are. But it made me laugh how she probably paid her sister's fine with that stolen credit card. Emma is going to go ballistic in the finale tomorrow if she finds out. And I'm kinda terrified of her ever since I've seen her having sex; she's such an alpha I'd be afraid of pissing her off in any way.

This show really needs at least ten episodes next season if it gets renewed. I want to get lost in their world completely.

The showrunner was saying how they took great care to light the brown skin just right, and it really shows. Such a gorgeous-looking show.

Renewed!

[quote]The series is certified fresh with a 100 percent rating among critics on RottenTomatoes.com. Since its premiere, Vida has grown 171 percent to earn the largest Hispanic audience composition for a premium series this year.

[quote]"Vida has delivered on its promise of attracting a young, new Latinx audience to the Starz platform, as we had hoped it would, and we are pleased to be able to announce a second season of the series,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said Tuesday in a statement. “With these new episodes, Tanya and her team now have the opportunity to take audiences even deeper into the lives and community of the Hernandez sisters, and we look forward to bringing the next chapter of their story to life.”

Loved the last episode and the whole season, so this makes me very happy. The dreamy Carlos Miranda better return next year!

sounds dreadful

Once again a series with lesbos and ZERO gay men. PASS.

We heard you the first time, r16 / r25.

r24 Nope, it's excellent.

Second season trailer. I heard it's even better and sexier than the first. All episodes are out today.

[quote]The premium cable outlet will release all 10 episodes of the critically acclaimed half-hour drama to binge-inclined viewers on demand and via the Starz app in the United States and Canada and StarzPlay in the U.K. and Germany, on Thursday, May 23. Vida will also air weekly on Starz starting May 26. [THR]

Interesting experiment to make it available both as a binge and in weekly portions. Hope it pays off in some way.

Second season opening scene dong.

R5 Lol I honestly didn’t know there were anybody attracted to women on datalounge.

I just watched the first season and it actually really good. I like the struggles that the characters went through and how there weren’t any easy solution. It wasn’t magically cleared up with some family bullshit. I found the guys they showed us were really hot and really appreciated their embrace of male nudity. While I do wish there were some gay action I realize that the core of the story is focused on the 2 sisters who are not gay males and is a show about womanhood and female sexuality. I guess I’m just going to have to rely on the male nudity and the straight scenes that shows off the guys ass lol. All in all a very good show.

I watched the first episode of the second season. What a graphic orgy scene! Do straight people really have those?

I love this show. Eddy hobbling to the closet trying to smell her wife's scent broke me. So sad.

The lesbian sex scene with the vibrator was sizzling.

And they've now gone and added Raul Castillo? Thank you!

I was confused this week by Emma learning about her sister's huge credit card debt.

#1 What did her sister spend $14K on?

#2 Was Emma so upset because her sister used her credit card? How did her sister get access to the card anyway?

VIDA- Isn't that Mildred Pierce's daughter?

[quote]What did her sister spend $14K on?

Miscellaneous shit, as far as I understood. Designer clothes, mainly.

[quote]Was Emma so upset because her sister used her credit card? How did her sister get access to the card anyway?

No, Emma did give her sister her credit card at the start of the second season and she did look mighty tempted, but I think she was able to control herself. I think Emma was so upset because the debtors are going to come after their inheritance. Or maybe their mom helped the sister out with her debt and now the whole business is up for grabs?
