#COVID-19-BINGE-FEST - Toy Boy


#COVID-19-BINGE-FEST continues to grow with Toy Boy.

My latest Spanish drama is Toy Boy, on Wikipedia the opening line of the plot really sets the show up for you. Hugo Beltrán (Jesús Mosquera) is a young, handsome and carefree stripper.

However this carefree (100% handsome) stripper seems to be surrounded by murder and lies. María Pedraza (Elite, Money Heist) also stars as Triana Marín, his second love interest after Cristina Castaño as Macarena Medina de Solís.

The show is at times bat shit crazy but the handsome cast make it a lot of fun.



All the strippers are good looking in their own way, it reminded me a bit of Magic Mike if old mate Channing Tatum was Spanish. Unfortunately for Toy boy, Channing is a much better dancer.

Some of the worst parts of Toy Boy are the choreography.

The plot is bat shit crazy and the weird relationship between Jairo and Andrea is just damn weird and long winded.

Toy Boy could have done better by some fancy editing with episodes all clocking in at over one hour! So yeah it's over 13 (maybe 15) hours of stripping, murder and deception.

Despite this Toy Boy is fun and mostly easy (on the eye) viewing.

It's on Netflix now.
