La esclava blanca

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!

This is a great story about a young woman in Colombia during the Colonial period who is raised by escaped slaves, eventually makes her way to Spain when the escaped slave colony is overrun and then returns to Colombia hoping to reunite with her slave family and the boy she loved as a child. So although she is white, she identifies with her black family who raised her. This shows the horrors of slavery in the Americas in often pretty gruesome ways. The lead actors - Victoria/Lucia, Nicolas, Miguel, Thomas, Milagros etc - are great. The story has lots of subplots and you see the various dimensions of the characters because this story unfolds over so many episodes. I loved the scenery and the haciendas where the story takes place. Did not like the costumes much, especially the dresses of the ladies which sometimes looked like rejects from a 1970s thrift shop. That was the only jarring note and why I gave it an 8. The lead actress is very beautiful. She will go far I'm sure. Still watching so not sure how it will all end, but really enjoying it!

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

I just watched the last episode and I'm still wiping the tears from my face. I was sad for it to end and I will be re-watching soon. This was the most breathtaking, visually stunning, at times gut-wrenching, story I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot! Please do yourself a favor and watch! You will not regret it!
