Why you should watch netflix's new show 'Gentefied' ASAP
On the brand new Netflix show Gentefied, on a night when the possibility of losing his decades-old family restaurant feels more real than ever, Pop — played by veteran Mexican actor Joaquín Cosio — joins his compas for a cold one, or two or three. In a familiar avuncular Spanish, the friends reflect on the changes that rising rents and demographic shifts have brought to their Boyle Heights, Los Angeles neighborhood.
At the end of the night, eyes low and stumbling home, Pop sees a"for lease" sign in front of a construction zone and has a visceral reaction."Fuck...your...development," he slurs before urinating on the sign and throwing an empty beer bottle over the fence. The sweet sound of glass shattering brings a boyish smile to his face. A small rebellion. But almost immediately, a close up of Pop's face reflects back flashing red lights, and his short-lived smile vanishes.
Though the show's name comes from its exploration of an intra-community form of gentrification called gentefication, its writing feels the most honest and profound when it captures the constant and circular economic anxiety that immigrant families carry, particularly when their financial stability rests on the success of artistic or entrepreneurial endeavors.
