Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they’re favourite show was and they’ll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.
In Chile there’s this 2000’s telenovela called “Romané” about a group of gypsies that arrive to a town in northern Chile. I personally don’t understand the fascination, but the show took over the collective minds of the population, I guess it was the abundance of quotable moments and the very distinctive speaking patterns of the characters and their personalities, they were memes before we knew what a meme was. You can quote any character in the show and everyone will know what you’re talking about, even young people.
They’re still rerunning the show every couple of years or so, 25 years later, I’m not aware of any other show here that has resonated so much.
