Cochinas: a shocking new comedy sensation on prime video

Prime Video's latest Spanish comedy series, Cochinas, has taken the platform by storm, becoming the most-watched show in Spain since its release. The provocative series, starring Malena Alterio, follows a woman who must take over her husband's struggling video rental store after his unexpected accident leaves him in a coma. As she navigates the business, she decides to transform the store into an adult content hub, pushing boundaries with graphic humor in each episode.

Shockingly successful, but is it quality?

Despite initial doubts, Cochinas has won over audiences, defying critics who argue that the show's crude humor and lack of subtlety make it more cringe-worthy than laugh-out-loud funny. Yet, the numbers tell a different story. The series has managed to top Prime Video's popularity charts, even surpassing the highly-anticipated third season of The Boys.

With a complete first season now available to stream, viewers can binge-watch the entire series and decide for themselves if Cochinas is a hidden gem or a guilty pleasure. Only time will tell if this raunchy comedy will receive a second season, but with its current success, it's hard to imagine Prime Video saying no.
