With love is a too fast 5 occurrences rollick through the leaves with an extended family. By leaves I mean Nochebuena, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, Independence Day and Día De Los Muertos. As we travel through the time, we explore the love lives of colorful members of the family With love was created and written by Gloria Calderón Kellett. With this series she took on an ambitious task. She explored artistic traditions among the colorful Mexican, Cuban and Dominican characters. The exposition around these traditions was a bit forced, but presumably necessary for part of the public. The series explored the love lives of 4 separate couples. It did n’t work 100 of the time with so many occurrences to tell the stories, but it had excellent underpinnings and characters.
The central family was the Diaz family. Family and family Jorge DiazJr. (Mark Indelicato) and Lily Diaz (Emeraude Toubia) were the main characters. Jorge,Jr. was a gay man and brought home a new swain when the series started. The swain was Henry (Vincent Rodriguez III). He was a big megahit with the family and the two stayed together for the rest of the series Henry’s first night with the family included a sweetly ridiculous scene where they all gathered in a circle around him to hear his explanation of what it’s like to be bisexual
Lily had just broken up with a boy and was dating Jorge’s roommate, Nick (Desmond Chiam). She did n’t mean Nick seriously, however. The real magic came when she met Santiago (Rome Flynn), although their love life was going in all directions The parents of these siblings had their own connubial problems. Jorge DiazSr. (Benito Martinez) and Beatriz Diaz (Constance Marie) were considered a perfect couple by everyone around them, but they had a delicate time.
Relatives, grandparents and others were included in the story. The grandparents (Renee Victor and Pepe Serna) were easily still working on it. (#EldersRock) Series creator Gloria Calderón Kellett played Gladys Another kinsman, Sol (Isis King), was a croaker. They had a love with a fellow croaker, Miles (Todd Grinnell). Sol also had a plot with Miles’genderqueer 13- time-old I do n’t want to miss anything created by Gloria Calderón Kellett. Still, this series felt rushed. That she managed to army so important artistic significance and so numerous love stories into the time she had is nothing short of amazing. The sparks between the characters felt real, indeed if their arguments were violent. Womanish directors included Hiromi Kamata, Kimberly McCullough and Meera Menon.
The gay characters as well as Sol and a many other trans characters were all accepted as part of the family and treated with love and respect. The romantic love stories had their bumps, but the family love was strong and unbreakable. That’s what I liked about the series. I allowed the different cast members fit their places impeccably. Mexican-Lebanese actress Emeraude Toubia, whose other great credit is shadow nimrods, was particularly promising. I anticipate to see a lot further from her.
The series is available on Prime Video. Fingers crossed that we get a season 2!
