8 | 1 | "Acceso a la salud" | Diego Luna | October 8, 2021 (2021-10-08) | |
The first special, Access to health, questions how the pandemic is just one more problem that came to overload a deficient health system, highlighting its shortcomings. It is put on the table what has been done in Mexico to save lives, vaccination policies, the participation of civil society; what are the actions that the government would need to take to adapt to the cultural, social and genetic needs of the population and where is the limit of what is public and what is private. | |||||
9 | 2 | "Crisis de la democracia" | Diego Luna | November 25, 2021 (2021-11-25) | |
Democracy is questioned through the relationship between the state and the citizens: why does democracy constantly lead to the triumph of leaders who do not fulfill their campaign promises? How to live in a democracy when violence is a constant? What alternatives can citizens build? The autocracy lurks behind this worldwide crisis. | |||||
10 | 3 | "Discriminar en español" | Diego Luna & Santiago Maza | January 24, 2022 (2022-01-24) | |
Bread and Circus travels to Madrid to try to find an answer to a question equally uncomfortable for Latin America and Spain: why is the Conquest hailed as a symbol of glory for some, and as an unanswered grievance for others? The third special of the second season turns to and gathers a plurality of Spanish-American voices to talk about Discrimination in Spanish. |
Reception
Inkoo Kang of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the choice of guests as leading to tepid conversations, giving as an example the episode on abortion, which did not include anyone opposed to abortion. She did single out two episodes for praise: the episode on the drug war, and especially the episode on immigration, in which she wrote it was "truly fascinating" to hear Mexicans wrestle with their own country's anti-immigrant attitudes.[2]
