Velvet Colección

Like others, I adored Velvet but it sadly could not go on forever (so I'll just keep watching again and again).

The Coleccion is not to be taken too seriously. Its part Carry On film, part James Bond, a bit taken from the film Ghost, we 're taken on a ride from Flamenco to Hippy vibe. And Raul took the comedy to another level. He needs his own show ! and the actor who played Manolito carried off his father Pedro's animated way of speaking perfectly.

You know how you get to the end of a series and wish there was more? Well here it is. Of course the feelings evoked by the original Velvet couldn't be replicated but I was happy to have this series! I would have watched it forever probably just because I loved the original so much.

In some aspects I like it even more than Velvet because in Velvet everything was focused to Ana and Alberto while in Velvet Colección almost every character has prominence.

You have to be ready to watch Velvet without the 2 protagonists! If you are ok with that then you will love it !

It's the exact same feeling and style as the "original" velvet . It's like you are seeing what happened after . Not with the protagonists since they got their happy ending, but with the rest ! 20 episodes are not bad but surely not enough unfortunately since i love Velvet !

Enjoy!

There are a lot of characters in this show, and it has a wonderful sixties vibe with authentic music and the best in sixties clothing and jewellery trends. It is quite fast moving and as I don't know Spanish I found it difficult to follow the subtitles. The main characters are quite likeable and the show tries to appeal to everyone by focusing partly on owner Mr Godo's businesses which collide with those of the Fashion store. I have been enjoying Spanish series since I first watched Money Heist; and they achieve a good standard here but it is a tad predictable and at times a bit silly. I love the energy and verve of the Spanish cast, many of whom were in Gran Hotel, which is much longer than this, and has the same plushy ambience.
