Incredible story, excellent voice acting. A bilingual marvel.
Compelling Bilingual Series
This show is very captivating, layered, and nuanced. You must understand Spanish to truly enjoy this show as the show interchanges from English to Spanish to really capture the essence of the blended undocumented/First-generation family, in addition to the overall migrant experience. I highly recommend this podcast series!
