Land of Women

Great summer serie to watch that is full of events and twists. Flasbacks from the past also keeps the story refreshing. However that was not my original thought when I started to wacth it (almost gave up after episode 2), but as the story moves ahead things start happening it turns out the story moves ahead rapidly. Nice that the events takes place in Europe. Bit too short season though, hopefully the season 2 is coming soon since the last episode of the season endend on a place where I would have like to continue to watch the next episode immediately. Bit different and refreshing serie to watch.

The role of her daughter was just not convincing for me and her voice kept cracking. She was super snippy and not seasoned enough to carry the show with Eva. The dynamic was not there with this trio, I found it not funny. I need to be convinced of kinship and these casted roles were too far fetched with no dynamics. I love Eva in Desperate House Wives (all sorts of dynamics there) and that is why I tuned into this show. The show did not meet my expectations, this show actually turned me off. I could not get past the first episode and Im bilingual so I understood every word. Perhaps known and proven actors along side her in this role would have propelled the energy significantly.

I had no expectations from this show and didn't even know what it was about. The only thing that made me want to watch it was that I never miss any Apple Plus comedy shows. I like so many of them, like Trying, Dickinson, Platonic, Mythic Quest, etc. The story is interesting, and the cast is amazing, especially the lead actress. The show gave me a bit of a vibe of Bless This Mess and Schitt's Creek.

After such a long time, I saw a family drama this good! Even though the episodes are about 45 minutes long, they didn't feel stretched. I do think more episodes of 30 minutes would have been better. I've been wanting to watch a good Spanish drama, and I think this show is a good start for me.

When I started this show, I thought it was an English-language show with a few Spanish dialogues. But when I watched the first and second episodes, I found that many of the show's dialogues are in Spanish. Then I watched the third episode, which was almost entirely in Spanish, and the remaining episodes were also mostly in Spanish. This is the first show I've watched in a different language, fully dependent on subtitles. But I didn't mind because the episodes were fun to watch, and the cast was likable. The title didn't make sense to me at first, but they revealed in the third episode why the show's called "Land of Women."

Overall, this show has the right amount of comedy, romantic tension, and drama, making it an entertaining watch. It definitely deserves hype as it is one of the best family drama shows of 2024 and should be renewed for a second season, especially after that super fun finale and ending. This is a comedy show, so if you don't think too much logically, you will definitely love it! A must-watch!

Trying to look at this through the lenses of a good script and good cinatorgaphy etc and you're going to hate it!

If you watch it to escape the news and outside noise and think of it like a Hallmark movie then your fine.

It's a very predictable storyline. There are ridiculous scene changes with dramatic rain all of a sudden, make not feel soap opera y. But the scenery is nice and it's lovely to have a bilingual movie introducing the world to Catalonia.

Enjoy that part of you're looking for a silly escape. Don't try to focus on the other things that make this a made for tv movie style. It's a filler for the network I'm sure. I don't think anyone in production expected this to win an award.

Watched the first two episodes this week and both my husband and I are loving it. It's light, funny, clever and has gorgeous scenery. And having the show be in both English and (primarily) Spanish gives it real sense of authenticity. And I'm confused about the viewers who have a problem with the language choices, since Apple has been advertising this as a bilingual show from the beginning.

The cast are all great, Eva Longoria is as entertaining as ever and Santiago Cabrera is always a delight to watch in anything.

Pour yourself a glass of red and get swept away in the scenery and the sense of family and community.
