Natalie Torres — Mon, 04 May 2020 18:46:27 +0000

With Its Celebration of Intimacy & Community ‘Vida’s Final Season Feels More Urgent & Timely Than Ever

Manuel Betancourt — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 16:32:03 +0000

Two women lay naked next to one another. Theirs is a known intimacy. They giggle and blush and kiss before the closely-handheld camera catches them playfully wrestling with one another in bed. Chavela Vargas’ “Macorina” scores their morning roughhousing: “Ponme la mano aquí,” she croons. Her order feels directed as much at both of these

TRAILER: ‘Vida’ Will End With Season 3 but There’s Still Plenty of Jotería & Family Melodrama to Spare

Manuel Betancourt — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 15:23:32 +0000

There is no show out there that’s as unabashedly brown and queer as Vida. The Starz dramedy about two sisters who inherit their mother’s L.A. bar and have to reconcile with one another and their late mom’s lesbian partner is unlike anything out there. Equally adept at taking on issues ‘gentefication‘ and sexuality this family melodrama has

Ruben Angel — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 20:21:40 +0000

LGBT folks make up roughly 40% of the homeless youth population, and a large percentage of this number is made up of Black and Latinx LGBT kids. While presenting this reality can be a burden for the few LGBT Latinx creators in mainstream television, Pose and Vida prove they are up to the task. Although

If you were to look at today’s Emmy awards nominations, you’d be forgiven for thinking no Latinx projects or entertainers made any significant contributions to last year’s television landscape. Those of us hoping (yet again) for the Television Academy to recognize critically acclaimed shows like Vida, One Day at a Time, Jane the Virgin, Narcos:

‘Vida’ Actors Open Up on the Show’s Subversive Use of Sex & Nudity

Gabriela Garcia — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 16:07:08 +0000

When Starz’s half-hour drama Vida returned for season two a few weeks ago, the opening scene’s sexual bravado – an orgy during which Lyn has a personal epiphany – all but confirmed that the show will continue to push the envelope when it comes to exploring sexuality. Creator and showrunner, Tanya Saracho, is changing the cultural conversation
