A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Madrid's taxi drivers announced

the tenth day of a strike...

...that they'll continue until they reach an agreement with local government.

The taxi union demands the regulation of vehicle for hire services

that are causing yearly losses in the thousands of euros.

City Hall has opened negotiations...

...to end the strike as soon as possible.

The aim is to ensure a level playing field

for both taxis and private transpor...

If taxis unite, we won't lose the fight!

If taxis unite, we won't lose the fight!

If taxis unite, we won't lose the fight!

If taxis unite, we won't lose the fight!

Val, you left your tea in the bedroom.

It's a mess out there.

I can't write like this.

Why don't you ask them to extend your deadline?

Again?

I said April, and we're in May.

If they don't get a preview soon, I won't get published.

- Do you want to hear an idea? - Oh, Val, I have to go. I'm sorry.

- Later? - It depends what time I get off.

I don't know. Check it out…

I've been thinking about writing in the first person, through letters.

But isn't that an old trick?

I don't know…

Hey, what time is your interview at the museum?

Four.

Don't be late. That gig would be great for us.

- Okay. - Give me a kiss.

Bye.

The distance between them didn't matter

because their thoughts materialized.

HOW TO GET YOUR INSPIRATION BACK

How to write a novel in record time.

I want to write a novel in record time, but I'm suffering from impostor syndrome.

Why does it affect so many writers?

People who are terrified of suddenly realizing

that they aren't as intelligent as they seem to be.

Holy shit!

FRIENDS 4EVER

CARMEN - GOOD LUCK TODAY… THOUGH YOU WON'T NEED IT

NEREA - THE JOB IS YOURS!

THANKS, GIRLS,

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE RIGHT JOB FOR ME

LOLA - FOUR HOURS AND THE REST OF THE DAY OFF TO WRITE? THAT'S PERFECT!

HEY! DON'T BE DOWN ON YOURSELF. YOU GOT THIS!

NEREA - DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF CARMEN - I BET IT WILL INSPIRE YOU

NEREA - WASN'T IT AT 4?

Shit!

MUSEUM

- Wow! You've done everything. - Well, I've been working since graduation.

1. THE IMPOSTOR

But it looks like you change jobs a lot.

Right… I still haven't found anything that works with my thing.

- Your thing? - Writing.

Ah! So you're also a writer.

Yes. I won a short story prize, and my first novel is getting published.

- The first draft is due in a week. - That sounds great.

- Mm. - What's it about?

Well… it's a…

it's…

it's a thriller.

- Aah. - Mm.

And would you be able to balance this job and your writing?

Absolutely.

But you'd be working eight-hour shifts, Monday to Friday.

Eight hours? But… I read that it was part-time.

No, no, no, no, no.

The security guard job is full-time.

Oh.

- Are you still interested? - Yes, of course.

You're sure?

You'd also have to come in one weekend a month, some holidays…

and we'd also call you in for events,

which are on Thursdays from eight to 12.

- In the morning? - At night.

No problem.

Girls, I need to see you.

I want to drink all of the beer in this city.

Let's go out tonight. I'm not asking you.

See you tonight.

Like you say, Lola, in case of doubt, call your friends immediately.

And I need your help.

If you had plans with Sergio, cancel them.

Remember that only 42% of Spaniards have sex once… a week!

What about you, Carmen?

I hope you're not thinking of working overtime again

just to talk to Borja, right?

Come on. I need your advice.

Nerea, I know that at work you're surrounded by people

complaining about their miserable lives, which are all very serious, I know.

But… would you mind listening to me complain tonight?

And yes, you're allowed to laugh at me.

I just sent you a test.

If you answer "yes" to three questions,

you are codependent in your close relationships.

I already did it, and it said I was clean.

It's like the spirit animal test.

Being an octopus is cooler than a mouse.

By the way, we need to talk about the season finale…

I can't believe there'll be a third season.

Accusing her because of a fingerprint in the fucking rear-view mirror?

Come on! I don't get it.

Damn, Carmen. Sorry, you haven't finished it yet, have you?

Shit, I'm sorry.

Look, you can totally spoil the latest movie…

Carmen, are you coming to the subway?

I could share my ideas for tomorrow's briefing.

I don't want to miss the train.

- Sure. - Really?

- Yeah, no problem. - Give me one minute, okay?

Okay.

...at my desk.

So, Nere. You're coming, right?

Tell your parents you'll be home after 11. Come on.

By the way, if you can, bring the 20 euros I lent you for the cab back to Mordor.

Thanks!

I forgot what Madrid used to sound like.

I'm getting used to the taxis honking.

Goodbye, birdies!

As if there ever were any.

Hold on. I'll go down a different street.

Hey, what do you guys think about this taxi thing?

All right, I'll shut up now, and we can talk about it tonight.

But, hey, if you can't make it, no big deal.

But it really would be nice.

All right, now get back to back.

Look serious. Nice.

That's it. Raise your arms.

Give me a bad boy gesture.

That's right.

No smiling.

Great.

- Now, how about one close together? - Oh, yes, please.

No, no, no, no, no!

You don't need to hold each other. We don't want the typical shot.

But we want one with some love, right?

- Isn't it cold in here? - Okay.

- Can we try it? - Just a little.

Okay…

Now how about one where we're sitting? You know, looking presidential.

All right, let's go. I'm President, and you're the First Lady.

- Of course. - Like this?

Go.

Wait, I like this side more.

Very nice.

- Cool! - Hey!

When you're done, let's have a five-minute chat.

Nashville?

- You're moving to Nashville? - The home of country music, dude.

Are you going to set up another photo studio there?

I don't get it. Tell me why…

Another studio? Photography is dead.

People used to come to you because you were the expert.

But this thing fucked it all up. Now anyone can be a photographer.

I'll be working at a friend's bar in Nashville. Good beer, good music.

That's all I want in life.

And… what about this place?

Chinese investors.

Damn… so you got it all figured out?

Hey, that's not all.

Your new boss.

One point five million followers. Woodstock in '69 got nothin' on her.

KundAlicia?

- A fucking yogi YouTuber. Great. - She's my niece.

Uh...

- My bad, I didn't know. Sorry. - She's looking for a new videographer.

Right, but I don't know if that looks good on a résumé.

What are your options?

Mint?

- He's hot. - That's cute.

Is the dog too much?

Is this too expensive?

You can get them for 600 at the outlets.

Great! How much does the spaceship cost to get out there?

Mm-hm.

I emailed you a bunch of ads in case you're interested.

Oh, thanks. You're the best.

So, what's up? You ever leaving the nest?

Not until I finish paying back my parents for my master's.

Babe, you work for them.

Why don't you ask for a raise?

It's tough. The firm is struggling, so we can't adjust salaries.
