Espíritus en la escuela una serie que te atrapa (Sin spoiler) [ESP 7 ENG]

Greetings, my beautiful community C/Movies & TV Shows! I was entertained this week with a series that was recommended to me and is considered to be in the fantasy drama genre. I would add that it has a touch of intrigue (I love intrigue) because it keeps you in expectation, and when you least expect it, it gives you a total turnaround and nothing you thought was so.

This series definitely is, it premiered in March of this year and was produced and distributed by Paramount. If you have MagisTV you can also watch it there.

The plot focuses on the story of Maddie Nears, a teenager who has just died and is trapped in limbo, which in this story is about school. Maddie discovers that she is not the only one in that situation because there are other teenagers from the 70s, 80s and 90s who died inside the school, unlike everyone else, she does not remember how she died.

At the beginning, Maddie Nears is accompanied by what for me is her sort of guide to the afterlife, which is Charlye, a young man of the LGTBQ+ community of the 80s, when there was still no such community and in which he was going through an age where hormones do their thing, but his love interests were not well seen for the time. This guy died from intoxication and has a very nice story that he tells us while the plot develops.

There are the other guys in the group: Waly, a soccer player who died in a game; Rhonda, a girl who died at the hands of her counselor; Mr. Martin, a teacher who died in the 50s in a fire; and other characters such as Dawn, who, although she is not one of the main characters, her participation and outcome in the plot give it an interesting touch.

On the other hand, there is the world of the living, as they call it in the series, where Maddie's friends are: Simon, who could somehow be her soul mate (you'll see why I say that); Xavier; her boyfriend, Nicole; her best friend, Sandra, who is her mom; Mr. Anderson, who is a trusted teacher; Claire, who would be something like her Nemesis; and other characters that complement this story.

En el mundo de los vivos hay dos hipótesis, una que Maddie fue asesinada y todos son sospechosos porque cada uno tuvo un motivo para eliminarla y está la otra hipótesis que dice que Maddie escapó por problemas familiares (No les soltaré más prendas para que descubran toda la magia).

Personally, I think this series can appeal to contemporary adults who were teenagers in the 80s and to teenagers today because it has an interesting mix of what teenagers were like, how they thought then and now, and the sadness that can be felt by people who are left behind after an untimely death and what they think after they are unexpectedly gone.

I finished watching the series yesterday. I enjoyed each of the 8 chapters because I watched them in detail, so I didn't miss anything, and I don't know if it happens to others, but I feel like a kind of mourning and anxiety at the same time because the first season ended, and I have to wait until 2024 to see the second one, and I'm thinking about how Maddie can get out of this—will she make it back, or will she pass to the next plane, and will her companions in the beyond achieve the eternal and expected rest? Well, we still won't know, so I'm looking forward to 2024 to be treated to a very good second season.

Thank you, community, for reading me. I invite you to watch it. I think I have a lot more to say about the series, but I don't want to give away any spoilers. Here you will find intrigue, drama, a little bit of romance, nostalgia and hope.
