”La emoción era de verdad”: los secretos tras el éxito de ”Los 80”

I just read an interesting article about the TV show “Los 80” titled “La emoción era de verdad”. It’s crazy how a show set in a completely different time and country from us can make us feel so nostalgic and connected.

The article explains why “Los 80” was such a huge success in Chile and Latin America. It was more than just a show about a family living in the 80s, it portrayed the social and political tensions of that era in a relatable way. It tackled topics like divorce, dictatorship, and the struggle for democracy, which resonated with many people who lived through that time.

One of the most interesting points the article made is how the show’s creator, Pablo Illanes, used personal anecdotes from his own childhood to add authenticity and emotional depth to the storylines. That’s probably why it feels so real and authentic to us viewers.

Personally, I remember watching “Los 80” when I lived in Chile and feeling a strong connection to the characters and the storylines, even though I wasn’t alive during that time. It’s fascinating how a TV show can bridge generational and cultural gaps like that.

Overall, this article reminded me how powerful storytelling can be, and how important it is for artists to use their personal experiences to create something meaningful and impactful.
