You’re Nothing Special is a Spanish six-part series created by Estíbaliz Burgaleta, starring Dèlia Brufau.
It is lighthearted, irreverent, entertaining and inoffensive series for old teenagers and young adults.
Premise
Amaia appears to be a regular teen, but something makes her different: she has inherited her grandmother’s witchy abilities.
About the series
This is a comedy series that will differentiate itself from American teen series on Netfllix, in style and approach – not that one is better than the other.
Produced in Catalonia, Spain, the setting gives us a glimpse of life there, with the beach party during San Juan, the mountain ranges in the Pyrenees, etc. The soundtrack, which is not overbearing, gives us a taste of the music in vogue now, with a few reggaeton and rock numbers.
The story of a teenage witch is often a guaranteed success. Reminiscent of both the original Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996) and its remake Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018), You’re Nothing Special is “an in between” of the two – the 2018 series being far better, though, in technical quality and storytelling.
The script of You’re Nothing Special gives the protagonist more depth, and it makes her more relatable to the viewers. As for the dubbing, it is not bad. In fact, it is better than it has been in other series, and manages to convey the cadences with a smidgen of authenticity.
