On this episode of Mixing It Up with Maggi, I sit at home with my mom to talk about Spanish language soaps and their evolutions in the last few years. The female protagonists and their overall stories have become more complex and dynamic. We start by mentioning some of my mother's favorites and transition into the ones I watched as a young child. We finish off with Netflix's additions of Spaniard series: El Tiempo Entre Costura and Las Chicas Del Cable.  I teach my mom how to analyze media and look at the possible reasons for the change in these stories and its connect to our ever changing society.
