Into lucha libre? Repulsed by it? Into fantasy and humor and progressive social commentary? If any of the above, you should check out the Mexican series, "Super Amigos," 5 chilango homies in Super Hero get-ups wrestling the wrongs of their enrubbled city: poverty, environmental degradation, homophobia, animal cruelty, predatory landlords.
Mixing animation with on-site--what a sight!--footage of Mexico City, and lots of satire and pathos, it's brilliant!
You can check out "
Super Amigos" on
LinkTV, another super outlet for on-the-mark independent news, culture, commentary, and lots of music and a special Latino channel,
Latin Pulse. En español. Lately, they've done cogent episodes on the elections from a Latino perspective, Fidel's swan song, immigration, more.
