The show greatly focuses on four central female characters with very different backgrounds. Marisol is a native daughter who is deeply rooted in her culture and her neighborhood pride. She is all about her family, and right and wrong is as clear as black and white to her. Emma and Lyn are sisters who both really tired to reimagine their lives after leaving the neighborhood. Emma looks like she got her things together and left without the intention of looking back. She obviously has some real issues with her mother, foreshadowing makes me think it has to do with Emma's own sexuality. As Emma calls her mother a "hypocrite" when she discovers her mother had been married to a woman. This brings us to Eddy the wife, she's totally heart broken about her wife's passing. You can see that she's from the neighborhood and was content to live,work and stay in her community. She doesn't want beyond what she has. Lyn is possibly the most complicated. She doesn't know who she is yet, she's young and selfish and has no capacity to understand how young and selfish she really is. This character is going to have a lot of personal growth once she stops being a crappy self centered asshole.
All in all I'm enjoying the series I think it has a lot of potential. It's tackling topics like gentrification, sexuality, and how the Latino community comes together and falls apart.
