As we shared earlier this month, Toy Boy is a Spanish thriller series that follows a group of sexy, musclebound male dancers as they navigate through all sorts of personal drama, including relationship woes and solving murders. It also included lots gyrating and man-on-man love.
If there were ever a moment for such distraction, it’s now.
The show’s description reads: “After seven years in a Málaga prison, a male stripper is released pending retrial and sets out to prove his lover framed him for her husband’s murder.”
The series stars Jesús Mosquera, who was discovered by a casting director while working out at a gym in Malaga, Spain. After auditioning for a smaller role, he impressed producers so much they offered him the lead.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Season 1 of Toy Boy is available to stream now and Netflix has confirmed it will be coming back for a second season.
We thought it’d would be prudent to get to know the cast:

Hot!

Yes, the men are beautiful, but the acting and script are horrific, juvenile at best. I watched about five episodes before I realized what a waste of my time it was. Watch at your own peril.

So Spanish more promise than delivery ‘cept for the 10 seconds it takes to finish!
frapachino
Are those the hottest guys they could find? I’m going to pass on this train wreck!

I agree although I do think José Delator looks cute. The rest??? ? Definitely not worth wasting my time watching.

This is a great show and not because the guys are hot. Some snobs will, of course, criticize it but who gives a shit? It’s campy fun and I love the short-ish dance scenes. I only wish they didn’t dub the actors’ voices because I’d love to hear their real voices – especially my favorite character, Maca. Glad it’s coming back for a 2nd season!

Is there proper LGBT content/representation (mostly gay content) or just lame teases? If not i don’t care.
Tired of heterosexuality being shoved down my throat. Most of my shows now a days must have proper LGBT reports (at least 30/40% upwards).

*proper LGBT *Rep

The dubbed over English is so bad it gives you a headache trying to watch. Looks like a comedy it’s so blatantly off. Subtitles would be less work!
Kangol2
Mosquera, Costanzia and Martiato are hot but it looks like it could be a total waste of time. Unless they’re always undressed, some humor, and clever plotting, I’ll stick with the Instagram photos for now.

haven’t seen it but i hear the ending was bad and sad.
jasentylar
Loved the show. Not realistic at all, but love the men.
Josh447
If you’re into low budget B movies you’ll love it.

This show has ended up so tame that it could run on basic broadcast television in the U.S.. I was expecting a little more edge with it being from Netflix and coming from Spain with Spanish speakers as a target audience.
On the upside, thanks to Netflix and their entire collection of shows filmed in Spanish, *ELITE is an awesome series* I may actually finally learn some Spanish…..my old high school Spanish teacher would be amazed.
