Life
Vida, which came to television screens in 2018 and stars Melissa Barrera, Mishel Prada and Karen Ser Anzoategui, is another series that is broadly recognised for its powerful sex scenes. It’s credited as being a passionate show with powerful representation of LGBTQ+ folks within the Latinx community.
