"Vida" is a drama series about two Mexican-American siblings from East Los Angeles. Party girl Lyn lives a carefree life in the Bay Area. She couldn't be more different than, or distanced from, her sister Emma, with whom she has no relationship. A death in their family forces them to return to their old stomping grounds, where they confront long-repressed feelings and learn the surprising truth about their mother's identity.

Carmen Phillips Autostraddle 10/28/2021
Here Vida rises to its own incredibly high standards, weaving together narratives of race and class that are nuanced and delicate. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone 09/12/2019
There was suddenly a lot going on, all of it smart, much of it sexy with a solid mix of pathos and humor... Vida had ceased to be an interesting world in search of a TV show, and come into its own. Go to Full Review Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian 07/19/2019
There's nothing else in the TV landscape quite like this hypersexual, celebratory show -- in its embrace of Hispanic soapiness in a millennial English-speaking story, and in its dedication to female fantasy. Go to Full Review Brian T. Carney Washington Blade 12/07/2022
The acting is superb and the writing is sharp. The nuanced exploration of female empowerment and sexuality is fascinating and powerful. Binge-watching recommended. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 10/03/2022
Over the past two years, Vida has been one of the best queer shows on television. Go to Full Review Cristina Escobar LatinaMedia.Co 06/26/2021
The millennial/Latina/queer show of our dreams... Vida's baked latinidad into its every fiber and the results are amazing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/13/2019 More of the first season. If low polish soap dramas are your thing, this might not even be for you. See more Robert G @RT74602352 06/15/2019 I think this may be the best television series I've ever seen. See more nick k @RT09470054 06/10/2019 This series is awful. What do people see? See more justin h @RT23162390 06/04/2019 Season 2 is absolutely fabulous. I LOVE this show! Characterisation is superb with will real depth and substance to all the main characters. This show has such an authentic feel to it and that applies to the roles, the neighborhood and the story. See more 05/28/2019 This show just gets better and better. The first season was great and amazing but the second is richer in all the right places. The second season flawlessly covers numerous topics including gentrification, LGBT discourse, etc but what I love most is how we're able to further explore our protagonists, Lyn and Emma, more on a deeper level. I'm glad we were able to see some vulnerable moments from Emma. We not used to see that from her but that's what makes her my favorite character. It'll take some time but that's a journey I can't wait to explore/see. Can't wait to get more out of them both in the next season! Character development in this is so rewarding to see. These characters are just so intriguing to watch and the actors who play them are just simply astonishing. I binged the second season a few days ago and haven't thought about anything else since. I will happily and proudly scream from the rooftops that everyone should watch this show because it's that fucking good! This show deserves so much attention. I'm not Latino (I'm black) but I appreciate this show so much and am so happy it exists. STARZ RENEW THE DAMN SHOW!!...please. and to Tanya Saracho and the writer's room, YOU ARE BRILLIANT! releasing the whole season to binge was bittersweet. I WANT MORE! See more 05/26/2019 I've got the chili sweats. My wife says "It's about time they showed a wiener ( in a movie)." Can these Latina sisters put a bridel on the heat and conquer the business world ? Based on the amount of liquor they give away down at the bar, I dunno. Can I have cebolla on my taco please ? No cilantro. See more Read all reviews
