Violetta is an awesome character. She has a unique voice and Paulina Gaitán shines in the role. However, the parallel story, that of Pig's self-pitty is terribly boring. You can fast forward all of Pig's scenes and you would have missed nothing by the end.
I don't understand or read Spanish much, so watched with subtitles.
No spoilers in this review because the less you know, the better.
The lead actress is excellent. I had seen her in Narco, so she looked familiar, couldn't place her. All the actors are good, but she steals the show. I'm very curious about the books.
Giving It a ten for the uniqueness and the lead Actress
Are there going to be more seasons? Hard to believe.
I'd love to talk about the series, but on this one any spoilers would interfere with surprises. Very R rated. It avoids showing the few moments of actual violence. Lots of drug scenes. Sex scenes aren't explicit, but frequent.
Overall a very tricky and clever story.

The story is different from what we are used to be told. As chapters go by the story keeps turning to different ways which keeps you engaged and "picado" (in spanish). I haven't read the book but I have heard opposing comments from people who have read it. Most of them say it is an amazing adaptation and is as good as the book since it has the same quotes and the characters were carefully chosen, like "el jardinerito". Others mention they imagined Violetta as a more beautiful actress like Barbara Mori (who is not even mexican) rather than showing good looking girl that can be from a mexican middle class. I think the actress Paulina Gaitan and the other actors do a great job. I liked the fact they were not very well known (except for Pedro Alonso) because it makes the story more credible and unexpected.
The series is based on the 2003 novel 'Diablo Guardián' by Xavier Velasco.
Violetta (Paulina Gaitán) is a sucker for luxurious and materialistic lifestyle and leaves her ordinary Mexico life for the glittery life of New York, with $217,000 in hand, that she had stolen from her disapproving parents.
Initially, she revels in luxurious - hotel stay, clothing, wine, dine and the likes. But eventually, the money runs out and she resorts to high end conning and prostitution, till it lasts.
Herein, the protagonist is kind of amoral but child like and gleeful and continuously experiments with everything fashionable and luxurious, which makes for an interesting watch.

- WissenswertesSince the first episode of this series , Paulina Gaitan has invariably had some nude scene. It wasn't so easy, she says, because she actually considers herself quite modest, and for that reason, these sequences had to be done behind closed doors, or rather, on a closed set. "Batan Silva always respected me a lot, he knew that I was a complicated character, that I had to be with someone every day or be naked. They took these issues very delicately, they took great care of me. I was naked and played with the actors, you know? There was never any problem." But also, Paulina adds, there was a cunning plan: to avoid making her uncomfortable, she did the sex scenes with friends. "There are many cameos and those people who just happen to be intimate, what I asked for was for them to be my friends. So I brought actors with me who are lifelong friends, like José Sefami. I told him: 'Come Sefami, let's have sex, my love, we're going to have a good time' and there we were having a good time, as it should be."
