Wrong Side of the Tracks Season 2 - Netflix Series


Wrong Side of the Tracks ENTREVÍAS Trailer YouTube
Trailers Kind Brain

Our three favorite veteran curmugeons are back: Tiros, the grumpy grandfather, made in the mold of Clint Eastwood's 'get off my lawn' character, Pepe, the overweight bartender and Sanchis, who has something like a stutter. Tiros is grandfather to Irene, the beautiful adopted Asian teenage girl. Irene is in love with Nelson, a Colombian immigrant, daughter of Gladys, the voluptuous cleaning lady who is living across the hall from Tiros with an old lady. Entrevias, where they all live, is an old neighborhood in Madrid and is suffering from an influx of street corner drug dealers. Amanda is the lovely women cop in charge of a task force charged with getting rid of the big drug dealers. Ezequiel is / was a detective with the gift of gab, who also happens to understand exactly what's going on in the streets of Entrevias. If you want something done, good, bad, legal, shady, Ezequiel can make it happen. 

The best part of the show is the subtle actions of the main characters, the emotions, the word play, the subtle digs friends make. Gladys is not just voluptuous in the physical sense, her personality is just as overblown as her body which makes her irresistable to Tiros, though he denies it until he is happily caught.

Turns out Amana and Tiros's sister, Jimena, are lesbians, although Jimena hasn't quite figured it out yet. In the scene where they are smiling, no, make that beaming, at each other it becomes obvious that it's going to happen and in short order it does.

P. S. Watched this a month ago. I could say more, but it's basically a show about a bunch of characters. There is an overall plot that arrives at a happy conclusion, but it's the ride it takes us to get there that makes it all worthwhile.
