I watched the version with the Spanish subtitles and am afraid that there were supposed to be English Subtitles when Nacho was talking to his father and I missed a huge part of the story.

You didn't really miss anything story-wise without the dialogue. All the acting was done superbly thru body language and if you're caught up as to the dilemma Nacho is in, that's all you need. The dialogue was just along the lines of "mornin' son", "mornin' pop."

That was the feeling I was getting, so I didn't seek it out after the fact.

Good morning.

Yeah I came in early to get a head start on the invoices.

Nice to see you taking an interest in the family busincess.

And...Scene.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Holy shit, this ep had me on the verge of tears the entire time. They captured perfectly the feeling of working so hard, never catching a break, and trying to put on a happy face while running on fumes. It's exactly how I felt all winter long (but it's all good now).

This show is, above all else, about scrappiness, people trying to claw their way out of a rut and into a better life.
funny, i always took it to be about self-actualization

The old lady breaking down was fucking awful. Even when he was grinding it out at nursing homes, it at least felt like there was some underlying care for his clients beyond receiving payment for his services.

I watched the first season on Netflix but it took so long for the second season to arrive that me and the missus are now backed up on other stuff.

I liked how much it shared, visually and tempo-wise, with the original series. I will continue to watch at some point.
