“Vida” Episode 106 Recap: A Kiss That Never Says Goodbye

It’s Vida’s season finale, but already I want more. We need more of this thoughtful, gut wrenching, unapologetic, queer, brown show in our lives.

“Vida” Episode 105 Recap: Chingonas and Chillonas, Badasses and Cry Babies

“Emma’s grief; her inherited, internalized homophobia; and her sexual frustrations — they are all tangled together. And that’s real, because in life how can you tell? Where does one pain stop and another begin? There’s no easy box to check or line to draw.”

“Vida” Episode 104 Recap: You Can’t F*ck the Pain Away

“Vida” Episode 103 Recap: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby

It isn’t just about the hot sex — though the sex is very hot — it’s about creating spaces where Latinx queer bodies can feel ownership. It’s tearing down shame. It’s about saying that our love, our sex, our sticky sweat is valid. It’s about fighting tooth and nail for pleasure in a world that would rather us be criminalized for waking up in the morning.

“Vida” Episode 101 Recap: Lesbians and Gentrification and Funerals, Oh My!
