I could see the potential here, but I feel like they didn’t nail the adaptation, there’s certain madness, extravaganza, opulence to a telenovela (middle eastern or latina) that doesn’t translate that well to an american series, specially one with 9 episodes, so I was expecting something more hallmark like but instead we got people climbing down a building like if they were auditioning for Tenet (I’m never gonna get over how ridiculous that scene was), so I wished they grounded the show a little cause my favorite parts were just simple moments between the family.
It felt as if the show runners knew they were getting canceled and chose to pack 9 episodes with every possible storyline, and also they skipped a lot of fun, light hearted and romantic moments! I never saw the romance between Noa and Daniel, nor their relationship blossom, it was like BAM WE ARE DATING JUST BECAUSE!
I like the general idea, the cast, the characters, but I feel like the main issue was they didn’t got the time to properly develop it.
I hope ABC gets to see how they screwed it up by not believing in the show now that it’s been number 1 on netflix worldwide, like obviously a show with poor distribution is gonna have a low audience, duh.
