La esclava blanca

I know telenovelas have a bad reputation for some weird reason, but as I was watching this, I realized that I didn't even feel like I was watching a series most of the time. It felt so rich and well- crafted...movie-like, and epic. In a way, like a modern version of a Roots-like tale. Very well done. The acting was perfect, I was completely immersed. Yes, of course, it's a Colombian telenovela, so the characters are over-the-top at times, but it's not even noticeable. La Esclava Blanca is AMAZING. The characters are fleshed-out, the story is realistic, and it's gritty. There are crazy moments, but they are few and far between. During episode 4 (I think), there was a certain scene at the end of the episode that made me think DAMN, this man needs an Oscar or some sort of recognition. Completely spoiler-free: this show is something else entirely. If you haven't watched it yet, you're missing out. I'm a film production major, and the production was MARVELOUS. Watch now.

This show is spectacular even though it reflects on the disturbing pass of slavery, racism and sexism. Sure, there is more elements of the show that stand out, but I do not want to spoil any of it. The actors, creators and everyone else apart of this project did an astounding job.

If you are into history, you would love this show. I am so addicted to it and the actors are absolutely phenomenal.

I just got through Binge-watching this series, and all I can say is WOW! I must say it is by far one of the BEST drama series I have watched in a long time! I didn't even mind watching the subtitles. You never knew what was going to happen from one episode to the next, and the characters surprised you too. I'm so glad everything came together in the end; what can I say? I'm an incurable romantic at heart. Kudos to the writing team, originality is a plus, and I absolutely loved the story-line, and I love how love overcame evil in the end. You know how the saying goes, and its true in real-life "the longer it takes, the harder they fall." This Nicolas character made made J.R. from Dallas look like Mary Poppins! I just love the characters Miguel and Victoria and then Trinidad and Remedios... I don't know what I am going to watch now! What do you watch after that?!!! lol

Words cannot explain the time and brilliant minds behind this exceptional series! This is by far one of the best series I've seen in my life! The creativity, costume and acting is phenomenal. This show touched my heart in so many ways and also gave me a clear understanding of my history which I will never forget! Thank you for this series!
