La que se avecina

“La que se avecina” (Also known as LQSA) is a very popular TV show around Spain. It's a comedy intended for a youth group because of its dark humour. It's directed by Laura Caballero and his brother Alberto, and it got aired on April 22nd, 2007. This series is set in a building located in the suburbs called "Mirador de Montepinar", claiming to be a relaxing place where your dreams come true, until you meet the neighbours. LQSA contains unrealistic stories happening to its characters. In the first twelve seasons, our favourite neighbours live in Mirador de Montepinar. However, due to a problem unrelated to the plot they move to Contubernio 49 Street, located in the center of Madrid.

This new season has brought some new characters, some of whom come from Montepinar. Even other characters are from “Aquí No Hay Quien Viva”, which is a similar series to LQSA, but much older, where noisy neighbours are also living in a building.

CHARACTERS:

• Greta Garmendia is a pharmacist, mother of a teenager and passionate about video games. She is also the president of the community of owners of the building located at 49 Contubernio Street, which she leads harshly until Antonio Recio appears.

• Óscar Serra is described as a sought-after fashion photographer who enjoys the pleasures of life. This charismatic, seductive and wealthy character is always surrounded by attractive women.
