Merlí Season 2 explores the hardest part about living with HIV - Queerty
Dec 01, 2022 1 min, 0 secs

Merlí Season 2 might’ve been released in May, but we’re still thinking about the whirlwind of a storyline creator Héctor Lozano delivered.

Spoiler alert in case you haven’t binged the Spanish queer drama yet!

Pol (Carlos Cuevas) finds himself sans his former lover Bruno (David Solans), but not without drama.

Replacing the cute twink is bearded hunk Axel (Jordi Coll), so we’re not mad about it.

Most importantly, he educates Pol that a person can live a completely normal life thanks to the existing medications?

But, of course, none of this is revolutionary to any queer person watching?

We’re living in the golden era of PrEP, after all. ?

Pol’s insatiable anger towards the person he contracted HIV from is put harshly into perspective. .

Interestingly enough, his dread shifts from having the virus to how others might perceive him.

Creator Lozano relieves our hearts when Axel accepts Pol’s confession during a weekend away together

Living with HIV appears like having the medical burden of needing to come out again and again and again

Merlí manifests as a reminder of the stigma and miseducation that still exists, but characters like Pol help bring that narrative to the future.
