I guess these days everyone is quite familiar with the social media term “toxic couple.” It is all about two people who shouldn’t be together but still end up being together and instead parting ways. In such a case, either one of them or both are always doing things behind their partner’s back. And when they should just walk away, they cling to their toxic partner for reasons scientists are still exploring. Jokes aside, it seems that these couples are stuck in a cycle of trauma from which they can’t walk away. Take Nata and Alberto, for example, in the Netflix series Raising Voices. Nata knows deep down that Alberto isn’t good for her, but she keeps giving him second chances, forgiving him over and over again. And Alberto? Well, he’s got this habit of saying sorry and treating Nata like a princess every now and then,...

Why are men’s abuse, infidelity, and molestation often normalized? It’s as if they are just children who don’t have a clue that they shouldn’t be doing these things, and we as women have to live with this and learn how to move past the trauma so that we don’t hurt men’s egos or suffer severe consequences if we raise our voices against such behavior. The new Netflix series “Raising Voices” dives into the #MeToo culture and the power of social media in helping girls come forward about the traumas they experience. If they can’t confront their molester face-to-face, perhaps sharing their experiences on social media can make more people stand by them. But it’s not that easy, is it? This series tells the stories of Alma (Nicole Wallace), Greta (Clara Galle), Berta (Teresa de Mera), Nata (Aicha Villaverde), and other girls who...

There’s a saying that teachers are our mentors and guides in life who teach us right from wrong and help us grow. After our parents, teachers play a crucial role in shaping our lives. But what if these teachers are not as good as they seem? What if they hide their true nature behind a mask, pretending to be supportive while disguising their intentions? This can be very confusing for young minds who rely on these very teachers to distinguish between right and wrong because they believe in them. This is dangerous because these teachers often take advantage of this trust to exploit innocent students. In the Netflix series Raising Voices, a history teacher named Juan Lopez Sanchez has a history of abusing students, but no one spoke up against him for a long time. Alma, one of his students, finally found the courage to stand up to him...

With a new month comes many new choices for Netflix viewers, and three of the choices stand out. June looks excellent on Netflix.
There is something for everyone and every situation, including Detective Pikachu and The Lego Movie for kids, The Divergent Movie for sci-fi fans, and the Conjuring trilogy for horror fans.
Another good option is the Godzilla Minus One movie, which, as Monsters and Critics reported, just dropped on Netflix.
All those are good options, but three top picks should not be missed: one for drama fans, a throwback for sci-fi fans, and one of the best coming-of-age films ever made.
The first is a Spanish offering named Raising Voices. It is an all-too-familiar tale of sexual assault that immediately grips viewers. Raising Voices, Episode 1, is streaming on Netflix today and should not be missed.
The caption on the trailer reads, “When a 17-year-old reports a sexual assault at her high school,...

What if you told someone one of your deepest, darkest secrets—the secret you’ve been hiding for so long because you’re scared that if you reveal it, people might judge you? They might start looking at you differently or call you a liar, completely dismissing your feelings and emotions. You end up questioning why you bothered to come forward with it. Why did you make the mistake of trusting others? That’s exactly what happened to Berta in the Netflix Spanish series Raising Voices. Coming out with the truth takes courage, and when it all goes to waste, it’s the most horrifying thing ever. Berta faced those consequences when she finally trusted Alma with her secret. The reason she left her school was that the history teacher had been molesting her, and she could not take a stand against it. What happened to Berta in the end?...

When I started watching Raising Voices, I had no idea what it was going to be about. However, a little into the first episode, I was reminded of the American series Grand Army. Also a Netflix original, Grand Army, tells the story of teenagers in a very similar manner to the Spanish-language adaptation, but in a more graphic manner. Raising Voices, tells the story of Alma, a 17-year-old girl who is struggling with teenhood until one day, her life completely changes. Raising Voices is a thought-provoking TV series that allows young audiences to answer the question, “What is assault?” Through four leading characters, the series explores the many different ways young girls are treated and how they can face these terrible challenges. Many times, girls are forced to believe that they’re the problem, and they put themselves in situations where they get assaulted. The series ethically explores these thoughts...

Raising Voices is a Spanish-language Netflix original adapted from a novel that is a coming-of-age story that consists of all your usual teenage-drama tropes but at the same time stands out from the crowd as a thought-provoking piece of media. It’s a show that predominantly tells the story of Alma, a girl who is different from the rest of her classmates and is finding it hard to be a regular 17-year-old. Her life is completely turned upside down when she learns that one of her close friends was assaulted at her school. However, the story doesn’t simply focus on Alma; we have three more protagonists: Berta, Greta, and Nata. Greta is Alma’s childhood best friend, while Nata is a newer friend from school. Berta, on the other hand, used to be a good friend of Alma’s until she went through some trouble at school and left,...

Raising Voices is a Spanish-language Netflix series about a rebellious girl named Alma. The series begins at its climax when Alma puts up a banner on the school gates with the words, “Be warned, this school is hiding a rapist.” Though the show is primarily Alma’s story, it actually gives us insight into a few other girls in her life. Berta, Nata, and Greta are each facing terrifying challenges in their school lives, and Raising Voices ties all of their stories together through Alma, their unhinged friend. The show attempts to depict problematic youth culture and to show young girls that they should be able to speak up when something terrible has happened to them. It places heavy emphasis on the fact that young girls blame themselves for anything that’s happened to them out of fear of judgment.
