La Doña

Season 1 was definitely BETTER than Season 2. Highly recommend this for a person wanting to check out Telenovelas. It was riveting, not cheesy at all.

I don't speak Spanish so I watched this with subtitles on Netflix. It made no difference to my enjoyment cos I loved it! It's gripping. The main character Altragracia is truly awesome and every scene with her is a delight to watch. The story line is good and the show is not over the top like many other telenovelas, and has a positive message. Many scenes are very nicely done, with lots of sensitive dialogue and situations. There were times when I physically cried (and I'm a guy). I was emotionally moved by many episodes and blown away by some scenes. The camera work is spot on - I love how some of the shots are done with a faded foreground object (plants, flowers etc) whilst the characters in the background are totally focused. Episode 89 took my breath away. Sadly, the last 10-15 episodes were a bit of a mess, and showed some holes in the plot, but overall, I feel empty now that I have just finished the last of the 120 episodes.

Awesome!

Very bad future if CRT /Woke propaganda inflicts Mexican novelas now too !

A Very long serie I watched it to train my spanisch, without spoiling it has a good soap line from everything and everybody is bad untill things and people improve. Apparently nr 2 starts in january 2020. I'm certainly going to watch the next 120 series when to come on Netflix.

This series does have an insane amount of production, it is incredibly well made and the characters are very relatable. Surprisingly, every episode ends in an unbelievable cliff hanger, always!

I'm barely catching it on Netflix and is a totally worth it to binge watch it.
