Analyzing Netflix’s Through My Window Movie Trilogy: Ranking from Worst to Best

Netflix's movie series Through My Window has been a big success since it started in 2022, but the Spanish language film trilogy is uneven in its ranking of quality. Whether it's losing a character or a plotline that sets the story back, each film in the Through My Window trilogy has its reasons for its placement. Along with the first movie, Through My Window, there are also two sequels to add to the list. The second sequel is called Through My Window: Across the Sea, which came out in June 2023. The third movie, Through My Window 3: Looking At You was released on February 23, 2024.

The story is centered around two neighbors, Ares and Raquel, played by Julio Peña and Clara Galle, respectively. Raquel is deeply in love with Ares and becomes determined to win him over. The couple gradually falls in love as they get to know each other. While the movie trilogy has not been well received by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with the first two films boasting a 0% rating, it has been added to Netflix's growing collection of romance movies. With that said, here are the Through My Window movies ranked from worst to best.

Maintaining a long-distance relationship can be challenging, especially when faced with an unexpected and tragic death. Through My Window: Across the Sea initially follows the journey of Raquel and Ares as they navigate the difficulties of being apart. However, the film takes a heartbreaking turn as the couple does not end up together in the end. The most devastating aspect of this installment is the sudden death of the beloved character Yoshi. Yoshi, who had been a loyal friend and protector to Raquel throughout the series, leaves a profound impact on both the storyline and the audience.

Yoshi had a hidden crush on Raquel, unbeknownst to her. Despite being bullied at a party, Yoshi's decision to steal a motorcycle led to tragic consequences. Losing control, he plummeted off a cliff into the water, leaving Ares unable to save him. The devastating loss of Yoshi left Raquel and the audience in shock. His death created a void in the storyline, and the eventual breakup of Raquel and Ares made the events of the first film seem meaningless and easily forgotten.

The third installment of the film series, Through My Window 3: Looking at You, brings the couple back together after starting out apart. Raquel and Ares, initially in different relationships, find their undeniable attraction pulling them towards each other. Their encounter in Barcelona solidifies their romantic connection, drawing them closer. Additionally, the news of Ares' brother Artemis expecting a baby with his girlfriend Claudia adds to the excitement of the storyline.

Filled with joyful Christmas moments and romantic tension, the movie refocuses the trilogy on the desired audience expectations. The lack of chemistry between Raquel and Gregory, as well as Ares and Vera, highlights the unhealthy nature of their relationships, leading to intriguing drama and even some instances of infidelity. Alongside the introduction of new characters, the return of familiar faces from the previous films adds depth to Through My Window 3, making it a compelling watch.

Despite opposition from Ares' father, who believes love is a weakness, the couple eventually finds their way to each other. Featuring numerous intimate moments, tension, and a memorable scene where Ares is pushed into a pool by Raquel's friend Yoshi, this movie highlights the significance of cherishing the small moments that strengthen a relationship.
