Netflix’s erotic Spanish romance certainly has eye candy, but is it just a hot, sticky mess?
Through My Window: Across The Sea, which, as the subtitle may suggest, is actually a sequel to a film that heated things up on the streamer last summer.Sure, the original may have earned a rare 0% rating on RottenTomatoes (albeit, with only six reviews logged), but that didn’t stop it from becoming a massive hit.
Across The Sea is following in its footsteps, failing to earn a single positive review while still cracking Netflix’s global Top 10 streaming hits.So, what is Through My Window, and why should we care if it’s as awful as it sounds?
Well, for starters, the cast is scorching hot…But, if you’re really concerned with silly, frivolous things like “plot” and “character,” then it’s actually pretty easy to get up to speed.In the first Through My Window—based on a book from author Ariana Godoy—we meet a young, aspiring writer named Raquel (Clara Galle) who lives with modest means in a modest home that is, for whatever reason, basically surrounded by a massive estate owned by the mega-rich Hidalgo family.The Hildalgos run a super important company called Alpha 3 (though we couldn’t tell you what they do), and are grooming their three sons—Ares (Julio Pena), Apolo (Hugo Arbues), and Artemis (Eric Masip)—to one day manage the family business.Through a series of seemingly random circumstances, Raquel and Ares meet and fall in love—against their better judgment and in opposition of the Hidalgo family’s wishes.
They both play hard-to-get, which amounts to some mild drama, but the couple ends the first movie in it to win it. Simple enough!You might not know it from the trailer, but Netflix’s ‘Perfil Falso’ has a whole lot of steamy gay drama going on.By now you’re probably realizing that the whole thing sounds very, very.
