A Different View (Spanish: La otra mirada)[2] is a Spanish dramatic television series created by Josep Cister and Jaime Vaca and starring Macarena García, Patricia López Arnaiz, Ana Wagener, Cecilia Freire, and others. The show is set in 1920s Seville and deals with feminist issues.[3] The two seasons of the show originally aired from 25 April 2018 to 15 July 2019 on La 1.

Plot

[edit]

Set in an academy for young women in Seville in the 1920s,[3] A Different View shows a teaching center clinging to an unwavering way of doing things and conditioned by the traditions of the city and those years. This world and its pillars wobble with the arrival of a new teacher who has a very different way of seeing things. She also has a secret objective directly related to the academy. The search for their own voices among the group of adult and young women is among the goals of the protagonists.

Topics covered

[edit]

Each episode in both seasons deals with problems and themes that occurred in 1920, and have enduring contemporary interest: the history of Elena Maseras; female teaching; the role of women in sport over the years; feminism as a collective movement and the importance of mutual support among women; the need for women to tell their stories so that no one else speaks for them; the existence of feminist artworks, such as El pelele by Francisco de Goya; knowledge about sexuality beyond male pleasure and self-knowledge of female orgasm; and the value of self-love, mental health, and understanding racism.

Production and release

[edit]

Created by Josep Cister and Jaime Vaca,[5] La otra mirada was produced by RTVE in collaboration with Boomerang TV.[6] It was known as Alma Mater during pre-production.[7] The episodes of season 1 were directed by Luis Santamaría, Mar Olid, Fernando González Molina, Miguel del Arco and Pablo Guerrero.[8] Shooting locations included Seville, Madrid, Guadalajara and Toledo.[8]

Although the series' premiere was scheduled for the northern hemisphere in the Summer of 2018, Televisión Española (TVE) decided to release it on 25 April.[9] The last episode aired on 25 July 2018. The season averaged a 9.0% audience share and 1,418,000 viewers.[10]

By October 2018, RTVE decided to renew the series for a second and a final season of 8 episodes. Audience ratings were unimpressive,[11][12] but the series earned critical acclaim.[10]

Melina Matthews and Dariam Coco, as well as Joaquín Notario and César Vicente, joined the cast for the new season.[13] Credited directors in season 2 included Luis Santamaría, Pablo Guerrero, and Carlos Navarro, whereas the writing team was formed by Alba Lucio, Irene Rodríguez, Ana Muñiz da Cunha, and Tatiana Rodríguez.[14][15] The broadcasting run spanned from 27 May 2019 to 15 July 2019.[16]

RTVE reached agreements with platforms such as IVI and Walter Presents to broadcast the series in international markets.[17] The series premiered in Vietnam on 25 April 2023 on VTV3 as Vượt lên định kiến.[citation needed]
