I am sorry but this was horribly made. Horrible acting and dialogue. The casting was poorly done as well. I have to say I have never heard such horrible spanish... I barely understand what the boys are saying. The Menudos never spoke like that.... What is it with the absolutely awful wigs??? It was quite a distraction. For such an iconic band and such a phenomenon, very little thought was put into the delivery of the story. The worst part of this is that the actual former members of Menudo said it never happened the way this series portrayed it.... not based on facts at all. I am extremely disappointed. I have been a fan of Menudo since 1982.

I really liked the series, my family and I found ourselves carving every new episode, but the experience was definitely a mixed bag. Other users have commented on the wigs, which are awful, the bad acting and other technical problems as I have to concur. The technical aspects of the show are way below modern series. There is one exception on this department that I have to mention because I think they really deserve it and it is costume design. I am not an expert but I lived in the 80's and I'm pleased with the variety and detail of most of the actors' wardrobe. Other than that everything screams "low budget" and sometimes plain mediocrity. Having said all of that I go back to my liking the series: I liked most of the kids acting, Joselo, Doña Peche, the young Mexican actresses but above all, the story (even though sometimes it was very poorly scripted). I know my review is confusing and disorganized but that's just appropriate for how this series is story. I liked it a lot but please don't do a second season.

This show is about Edgardo Diaz, not Menudo. It's a piece of baked s**t. If I'd have found a 0 stars rating, I put it. Horrible acting, a stupid story. The worst.

The story of Menudo is very interesting, and that is what keeps this series together. There are serious script problems, poor rhythm and the acting of most of the cast is not really good. Anyway, none of that is relevant when compared to the wigs. I felt sorry for the kids actors that had to wear those things on their heads.

There are many plots in the series. One is the relationship between the protagonist Edgardo Diaz, and his mother, who do manages the boy band he creates. Then we have the plot between Edgardo and the choreographer and costume maker Joselo Vega, who is a role model for the group, and a friend/advisor to Edgardo. Then we have two Menudo fans who never grow old despite the years going by, Renata and her best friend. Then we have the plot involving Renata's daughter, who in the present interviews an aged Edgardo. So among all those stories, there is very little coverage of the band members themselves, and what happened to them after leaving the band.

How does it feel to be ex-famous? That would be interesting. And how did they created the lyrics, songs that became so popular? Joselo himself, we never see him creating the dance moves. There is very little about the romantic live of members.

In short, the series are fun, but with too many subplots and unnecessary characters.
