When people hear the words “soap opera” or “telenovela” themes of love, loss, deception and lust tend to come to mind. Sometimes, less flattering words like “melodramatic” and “campy” come up as well.
However, more of the one-hour dramas on Spanish networks are slowly but surely veering away from the over-the-top acting, stagey sets and storylines for which they have historically been known. Some of my favorite telenovelas over the years were built on seemingly outrageous premises and performances that were over the top yet somehow fit in these hyperbolic television worlds.

I really wanted to enjoy this series but most of each episode is wasted on recaps. Half of each episode is literally scenes from previous episodes. I HATE reruns and having to sit through multiple scenes that happened yesterday or last week is torture for me.Thankfully I can bypass the recaps since I'm watching on netflix but it's still a real pain.When I say recap, I don't mean at the beginning of the episode. I mean, throughout the episode. They use these scenes when a character is remembering something or when they touch a topic that happened in a previous scene. It's no exaggeration when I say half of each episode is spent showing you clips from previous episodes.
This is a good show for someone with short term memory who needs constant refreshers.
