Amar es para Siempre

Amar es para Siempre

Overview

A sequel to Amar en Tiempos Revueltos that takes us directly to the years of the Spanish Civil War and the years of Franco’s regime. It features a great cast of young actors who are well known in Spain.

The series begins with an offscreen death of the lesbians from Amar en Tiempos Revueltos which erases their happy ending. However, in 2018, the character of Luisita Gomez was added. After her character was introduced, her ensuing storyline brought in a whole new group of queer fans.

The relationship between Luisita Gomez and Amelia Ledesma was so popular that a spin-off web series was developed focusing on the show’s beloved queer couple, #Luimelia.

Is it Worth Watching?

Yes

The show starts with the deaths of the lesbians from the prequel and does not become interesting until episode 500 or so. However, after introducing a queer character, the show goes on to feature a remarkably unique and epic love story between two women, which is absolutely worth watching.

Realness

The show tries to stay true to the experiences of LGBTQ individuals during the 1970s in Spain. Of course, this includes every possible dramatic thing that could happen (it is a telenovela, after all), but many topics covered are true to the queer experience in a country that was recovering from a dictatorship.

Quality

Luisita and Amelia’s story is beautiful and epic. There are a lot of hours of content where the couple get to unpack their issues and live their dreams.

Screentime

There are a lot of storylines going on in this show. So the queer couple isn’t always a focus. But both characters are regulars and some part of their story is told in most episodes during the 7th and 8th seasons. They get pretty equal treatment to other couples in the show.
