'Women Wearing Shoulder Pads' Review: A Wonderfully Charming Stop-Motion Series

When it comes to comedy, it’s all too easy to fall into the traps of pastiche or parody rather than a sincere tribute. And the new Adult Swim show Women Wearing Shoulder Pads — the network's first Spanish-language original series—seems designed to imitate the aesthetic and narrative beats of a Pedro Almodóvar film. That prompts fears that this might be mere burlesque, but with each passing episode, Gonzalo Cordova’s show proves itself to be a great series in its own right.
