    When I call this series perfect, notwithstanding the happy imperfections of its puppets and sets, it’s not because everything works as its meant to, but because there’s nothing you can measure it against — it occupies its own self-created space. Every element is necessary. Even presenting it in English would be to lose romantic, dramatic, telenovelistic force.

    A sweet, lightning-quick, and deceptively deep family comedy from the creator of “BoJack Horseman” that leaps back and forth through time.

    Women Wearing Shoulder Pads gives us a weird, somewhat creepy, but ultimately funny story about women and cuys in 1980s Ecuador.

    “Women Wearing Shoulder Pads” has enough ‘80s-inflected flair to hold our attention, whether or not the viewer needs subtitles to translate the dialogue.
