Breathless (Netflix)

Another medical drama is in Netflix and it’s called Breathless. It’s actually a Spanish medical drama. Surprisingly, it’s very high quality. It looks more like a series of mini movies on the way it’s recorded. The dub quality though is a bit wonky because sometimes the voice actor can’t really capture the actual emotion.

Unfortunately, there’s been a “slant” or bias in Spanish tv shows as of late. They’re mostly inundated with leftist bias. I saw it in “Back to 15”, Merli, Smiley and more.

The usual formula of love stories can be so predictable that I stopped watching Philippine teleseryes because of it. I could see plots miles away. And Philippines has a tendency to over-sell a product. For example, at one point, Philippines became obsessed with a teleserye about 2 sisters named Mara and Clara. It played every weekday from 1992 to 1997. That is a total of 1,209 episodes. That’s not counting the actors showing up to talk shows, radio, and a few movies or so. It established the formula that for a long time, Philippine entertainment had similar elements to that show.
