Line #27 YMMV/LaQueSeAvecina


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Antonio Recio wasn't as AxCrazy at the start of the series as he is now. This is classic {{Flanderization}}, but it can be explained by head injuries mixed with his chronic lack of sleep and his DeusAngstMachina status turning him slowly but irrecoverably insane.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song composed for the opening credits of the first two seasons is awesome.
3	* BrokenBase: What was the best era of the series? Pre-Flanderization (the first two seasons) or Post-Flanderization (the rest of the series)? Fans don't seem to reach a consensus.
4	* ContinuityLockout: With 14 seasons (so far), the series constantly references events and characters from the past, so good luck to anyone watching this series with the episodes out of order.
5	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Between the secondary characters, Parrales and Minguito are very popular.
6	* FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans pretend that the first season or the first two don't exist or are from a different series from the actual series post-Season 3. Others who think that the show declined in quality from Season 5 onwards often pretend that the show ended in Season 4, since luckily, its season finale could easily be considered the series finale if the show had been cancelled.
7	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Chusa performs what is easily the most heroic act of the series by immediately shielding Carlota when the ProfessionalKiller hired by Maite to kill Amador appears with a gun in hand.
8	* HollywoodHomely: Minguito is supposed to be an unattractive man, but even the ridiculous hairstyle and clothes don't hide the fact that actor Max Marieges is handsome. Fortunately, Marieges' performance makes up for it.
9	* HoYay:
10	** From Antonio [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove confessing his love]] for Enrique and kissing him, to them sleeping in the same bed together with their arms around each other, to hugging each other lots of times and always touching and holding each other with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, to Enrique being a LoveMartyr to Antonio and always protecting him from other characters and dangers, to them bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple, to them having sex once and Antonio masturbating in front of Enrique once as well, to Antonio caring far more about Enrique than about his own wife as he's [[LivingEmotionalCrutch obsessed and co-dependent]] on him, to Antonio always [[RelationshipSabotage trying to sabotage]] Enrique and Judith's relationship [[FriendVersusLover due to him]] [[GreenEyedMonster being jealous]] of ''her'', to Enrique leaving his entire life behind including his girlfriend and presidency of the Community which is what he has always wanted for Antonio, to them [[UndercoverAsLovers faking they're a couple]] on many occasions and other characters [[MistakenForGay mistaking them for a couple]], to Antonio often coming over at Enrique's like if it were his own house and living with him on several occasions, etc.
11	** Leo usually touches Amador and has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace either, and other characters [[MistakenForGay mistake them for a couple]] sometimes as well. However, in their case it's mostly PlayedForLaughs and not because there's actually any evidence of them being more than HeterosexualLifePartners.
12	* IronWoobie: Enrique. Arguably, Javi too.
13	* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: One of the most common criticisms of the series is for being a thinly disguised remake of ''Aqui No Hay Quien Viva'', with the same cast but much less funny.
14	* JerkassDissonance: Antonio, who is widely considered, along with Amador and Estela, the most popular character in the series.
15	* JerkassWoobie: Antonio. He's an insufferable lunatic man with sociopathic tendencies who no one in their right minds would want to be friends with, but at the same time, [[ParentalAbandonment his]] [[ParentalNeglect life]] [[FriendlessBackground has]] [[KidsAreCruel been]] [[LoveHurts so]] [[DeusAngstMachina tragic]] that it's not difficult to understand why he is now like this and sympathize with him. Also, his catchphrases are funny. However, he's starting to lose that sympathy due to him crossing the MoralEventHorizon [[CrossingTheLineTwice several times]]. To the point that he's so pathetic and miserable that he fails to make an angry response.
16	* LauncherOfAThousandShips:
17	** Estela, who has tried to sleep with almost every neighbour. Some examples include Estela/Leo, Estela/Enrique, Estela/Coque, Estela/Amador, Estela/Javi, Estela/Fermín, Estela/Maxi etc.
18	** Enrique has been paired up with a fair amount of people as well, such as Enrique/Nines, Enrique/Raquel, Enrique/Judith, Enrique/Estela, Enrique/Coque, Enrique/Antonio, Enrique/Maite, Enrique/Araceli...
19	** Other characters fit the trope as well, but oddly enough, Amador and Antonio, who are the two characters most obsessed with sex, are the ones who have less ships involving them. Justified in both cases, since Amador mostly hooks up with guest stars and never stopped loving his wife to begin with, and Antonio is usually too obsessed with the presidency of the Community to care for anything else.
20	* MoralEventHorizon: Judith crossed it when she told a patient that he should kill himself.
21	* NightmareFuel: Enrique's traumatic flashbacks of his imprisonment by [[spoiler:Germán Palomares]] are genuinely disturbing.
22	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Araceli in Seasons 5 and 6, giving her more traits from the original character.
23	* RomanticPlotTumor: The Enrique/Judith romance is as loved as it is hated, for not only being in a BreakUpMakeUpScenario-dynamic for ''four seasons straight'', but also for being so all-consuming that other larger storylines are moved to the sidelines in favour of more {{Wangst}} between the couple. It doesn't help either that Judith has been so painfully mean to Enrique that one has to wonder [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim what he sees in her anymore.]] The "Cuquis" might be considered a milder version of this.
24	* TheScrappy: Given the additions to the show's large cast with each new season, it was bound to happen.
25	** Fran, Enrique's son, was very disliked by the fans who consider him an annoying teenage stereotype and extremely unsympathetic because of the way he treats his father Enrique. The performance of Eduardo Garcia, who is considered by many fans to be inexpressive, doesn't help.
26	** Reyes from season 5 is considered an offensive stereotype of a lesbian character with an unpleasant personality who fights with everyone over everything. The character was so disliked that she never returned despite her actress wanting to.
27	** Clarita, Yoli's cousin, seems to have been written as a new take for a weird recurring character, not unlike how Violeta Recio was in the earlier seasons. However, unlike Violeta, she has next to no redeeming qualities to balance out the weirdness. She is just mean to everyone she has contact with. On top of that, as time goes by, her character contributes nothing to the show. The whole reason she is part of the recurring cast in season 11 is to give Amador trouble by having something to hide, the one problem his new and very-understanding girlfriend Barbara could not deal with: [[spoiler:Amador got Clarita pregnant]]. Season 11 finale deals with [[spoiler:Amador's wedding getting ruined because Clarita tells Barbara about the pregnancy]]. Which would make it seem a big deal. And yet, it is not mentioned again until the end of the third episode of the next season, and it is quickly revealed [[spoiler:Amador isn't even the father of Clarita's new born daughter]].
28	* TearJerker: Despite being a comedy series, the writers tend to make the characters [[DysfunctionJunction very miserable]], with the most dramatic seasons being Seasons 4, 6 and 7.
29	** In the Season 4 premiere, Antonio is seen crying and asking his missing wife through his voice mail to come home as he feels very lonely and depressed without her and without Enrique who he thinks is dead. Later in the same episode, Enrique gives a teary-eyed Antonio a heartbreaking TheReasonYouSuckSpeech which eventually results in Antonio [[DrivenToSuicide threatening to kill himself]] while sobbing. This happening at the same time that [[spoiler:la Cuqui's father dies]] and she and her mother are seen helplessly crying over him. The fact that Amador is the one who unintentionally caused it only makes it worse.
30	** In the Season 4 finale, [[spoiler:Goya dies]] and Vicente tries to protect Javi by lying to him. He eventually finds out and it turns out to be a very sad moment. In the same episode, Antonio finds out that his friend Coque is Berta's lover and [[spoiler:tries to kill him but can't]] so he throws his gun away, which had been so important for him all this time, and leaves defeated as his wife calls him worryingly. [[TraumaCongaLine By the end of the episode]] Antonio finds himself utterly alone after his only friend Enrique betrays him and loses the presidency of the Community. Antonio in tears saying that he has nothing left as he wanders alone on the street is a really heartbreaking scene. The entirety of the episode is actually a big TearJerker for most characters.
31	** In the season 5 finale, Amador [[spoiler:fakes his death]] but doesn't tell Maite. When she discovers that he [[spoiler:is "dead"]]... Well, her reaction tells everything.
32	** In the tenth episode from season 6, the "Cuquis" find out that [[spoiler:they will be evicted by the bank]] and start crying and hugging each other, showing that after all they care for each other. The whole story arc about them [[spoiler:being evicted and homeless]] during Seasons 6 and 7 is quite a big TearJerker, especially when not even their friends are willing to help them [[spoiler:and the "Cuquis" are left to live ''in the garage''.]]
33	** In the Season 6 finale, there's a significant TearJerker moment when Antonio [[spoiler:finds his birth mother]] and falls down on his knees and hugs her while crying, but she abruptly pushes him away.
34	** Episode 7x12 could easily be considered the biggest TearJerker episode for Antonio (Berta being in the process of divorcing him), and that's saying a lot considering [[DeusAngstMachina his history.]]
35	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many fans think that Cristina was a fun character mainly because of Creator/MalenaAlterio's enormous comedic talent. However, many fans think that most of the storylines she had in her short presence on the series, involving her bad luck in love, were mere less inspired recycling of the storylines of her character in ''Aqui no hay quien viva'', Belen. When Alterio decided to leave the series after the first season, many fans argued that she wouldn't have done that and the writers would have come up with better plots for her. It doesn't help that the second season introduces Nines, a character with a backstory and personality that resembles several aspects of Cristina.
36	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some fans feel this about the crossover that takes place in season 12 with the series ''El pueblo'' (both series are from the same creators), where some residents of Montepinar decide to move to Penafria. Although the crossover takes place over two episodes, that plotline is not the main focus and takes up less screentime than it could. To make matters worse, because this crossover is chronologically set after the events of the second season of ''El pueblo'' (which ended with most of the characters leaving Penafria and returning to the big city), only four characters from the aforementioned series appear: Candido, Arsacio, Maria and Ovejas. And due to the already mentioned fact that the crossover is not the focus of the two episodes, only half a dozen characters interact with the characters of "El pueblo": Enrique, Coque, Chusa, Antonio, Fermin and Agustin. Many fans felt that it would have been better if all the characters from ''La que se avecina'' had gone to Penafria, increasing the number of comical interactions.
37	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The biggest complaint against the series. Over the years, all of the main characters suffered {{Flanderization}} and became horrible, unsympathetic human beings. While some feel that the biggest source of humor is seeing characters punished for the wrongful acts they commit, others feel that it has reached a point where they no longer feel any sympathy for them and, consequently, any pleasure in watching this series.
38	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Maite constantly accuses Amador of having been a terrible husband and a terrible father whose incompetence and bad character ruined her and her children's lives... despite the fact that the first seasons not only portray Amador as a good husband and a good father, whose worst flaw was being uneducated, as well as showing that it was Maite who started the domino effect that would cause a series of misfortunes in their lives, when she had an affair with Sergio and foolishly spent all the family savings.
39	* [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack Why Would Anyone Take Her Back?]]:
40	** Enrique and Judith: he really shouldn't forgive her after everything she has done to him and yet he always does. Enrique and Antonio are a non-romantic version of this. In both cases it's mainly because of Enrique being a textbook LoveMartyr.
41	** Let's face it, Javi is a even bigger example of this: Lola almost always puts her own (and what's worse, her insane mother's) happiness before his. That being said, he isn't exactly what you would consider a perfect husband.
