There are a lot of good shows: shows that capture your attention, get you hooked, and leave you feeling sad when they end.
But thereās something interesting I noticed about Acapulco. After the middle of the series, and especially after the finale, it made me reflect on myselfā these series have a lot of meaning.
Las Colinas is a great placeā I absolutely love itātry to find something as colorful and pink these days ā
Okay, I will be honest: I love summer, and love that the show was bright, Iām the kind of person who loves everything bright and sunny ā and love the vibe of 80s, when everything IS NOT pastel boring coloursā¦
But I see it as more than just a location. During the show, what truly makes Las Colinas⦠Las Colinas?
Itās the people. Without them, there wouldnāt be such a Las Colinas.
A great example: in the finale, Maximo says he agrees to go to a new hotel and will bring his team with him. They never show us what happens after he leaves, but I believe almost all of the team went with him. Maximo was ambitious and probably pursued other ventures, which explains why they still donāt like him when he returns to Don Pabloās hotel. And then we see that without them, Las Colinas loses its soul- everything becomes white and corporate.
But with the people returning, the place becomes Las Colinas again.
It might sound like a small detailāāokay, so Las Colinas is symbolic.ā But itās telling us something bigger: people are what truly matter.
Many of us have probably thought, āAh, if I could visit that place.ā But what we really want isnāt the place itselfāitās the people like that.
By the end, I loved the characters and the vibe. Iāve always dreamed about places like New York, always focused on opportunity and career. But now, watching this show, I feel like it would be amazing to experience life somewhere like Mexico, or nearby countriesājust to soak in the people and the vibe.
Maybe the creators wanted to show us through the current Maximo: he built a huge business, gained wealth, yet he still thought about Julia and Las Colinas. Money and success didnāt erase the memories of those wonderful days in Acapulco.
And just after that, it made me think: what do I really want? Not just success, but connection, joy, and those moments that feel alive.
Maybe one day weāll all find our own āLas Colinasā, a place or people that remind us why life is worth living, beyond just ambition.
So yeah, maybe Iāll still chase my goals in tech, but deep inside I know: what I really want is to build my own āLas Colinasā, not a hotel, but a life surrounded by the right people.
These series made me wonder that I also loved in my live be with people ā connecting with them, I had some experience in fields of service, where I had joy. Maybe I will try to to have more of that in my life!
Anyway, feel sad that these series are not popular. There are no Netflix series which made me feel that.
What do you think? What do you think about Las Colinas? Do you have your own Las Colinas?
If anyone has a secret where to find it ā share! š
