Alexis de Anda: Mea Culpa

She opened with a prayer and a dab. Netflix stamped the hour that week.

latestnetflix.com's take is that on 10 November 2017, Mexican comic Alexis de Anda got a 54-minute Netflix special titled Mea Culpa.TMDB lists Jan Suter and Raul Campos as directors. She wrote the set. Original language is Spanish. Catalog number is 80183088. Netflix sold it as raw and outspoken, a comic talking about weddings, exercise, sex, gynecologists, and drugs.,,

Jessica Andrews at Decider watched it three days later and clocked the cold open. After a prayer and a dab, de Anda went after weddings and the way women drop feminism for the bouquet toss. Then yoga class, Instagram at the wheel, Syria, gynecology, and her own slutty behavior. Andrews heard Amy Schumer and Jen Kirkman in the cadence and told English-speaking viewers this was a decent first Spanish special if they had never sat through one.

A Golden Age last name on a millennial hour.

IMDb's bio is the family tree the special never has to mention. She is the granddaughter of Raul de Anda, the actor-producer who built El Charro Negro and Producciones Raul de Anda. Her father is actor-director Gilberto de Anda. The uncles include Rodolfo, Agustin, Raul Jr., and cinematographer Antonio. She told Merca 2.0 she grew up in a Mexico City film household that made people laugh on camera. Stand-up in the city hardened around 2011, she said, and Comedy Central's 2013 arrival made the first specials look like a real job. Famous Birthdays notes she joined the Mexican Fashion Police on E! In October 2013. El Planteo later treated Mea Culpa as the Netflix calling card.,,,

The BluePrint batch.

Campos was not a one-off hire. In 2014 he and Felix de Valdivia pitched Netflix that Mexico had a new form of stand-up the streamer should take outside the U.S. The first test was Ricardo O'Farrill. Over the next three years Netflix ordered 23 Latin American specials, 13 of them Mexican. Campos's company BluePrint Content directed and produced the lot. He called the run a cultural revolution. Sofía Niño de Rivera told the Los Angeles Times the boom would have been slower without the bet. Mea Culpa sits in that 2017 Mexican pile. Plex still credits Campos and Suter on the hour.,

English-language reaction was not a coronation. IMDb sits at 4.9 from a little over a hundred votes. One user review called the Holocaust and race jokes bathroom graffiti. A recap blog labeled the persona slutty but spiritual and asked why Netflix paid an unknown to introduce herself on an international platform. Flixboss later logged a U.S. Catalog drop on 13 July 2023. She kept working. Comedy Central Latinoamerica made her a regular on La Culpa es de La Malinche in 2020. The hour is the Netflix stamp on a Golden Age surname that decided to talk about gynecologists instead of charros.,,,
