Érase una vez... pero ya no

Woke version of Galavant meets Once Upon a Time....in a Spanish-speaking region First episode is good, however the middle part (ep 3& 4) are really dull, the musical parts that's in a different place/scenes actually brought down the show not adding to it, weak choreography with classic/well-known songs Too many characters and too many back and forth and the musicals in 30 minutes episodes, my head is spinning. The best part is the CGI dragon and Diego's silly tops that show off his body The show needs to choose if it wants to be Galavant or Once Upon a Time but not both, I guess the budget didn't allow that. The castle looks small and claustrophobic.

I watched much of it with either a smile on my face or my mouth agape. A fantastic fairytale told in a true Latin fashion. Hyper saturated colors and romantically staged settings. Greed, infidelity, Spanish operatic musical numbers, lots of nudes, sex and a blue dragon told with a healthy dollop of absurdity. What's not to like?

This serie looked promising as it's produced by Manolo Caro, who tends to be quirky and satirical and has a done a couple of good series before. However, I couldn't go past the first episode of the show. The whole story seemed to be all over the shop and I couldn't keep watching Sebastian Yatra's horrid performance. I like him as a singer but he has no talent acting whatsoever. The characters are lose, the story is convoluted and I couldn't quite figure out who was who was who in the zoo.

It is a disappointment as I feel some actors like Rossy de Palma and Mariana Trevino - who are wonderful- would have made worth the time watching. Unfortunately, I just don't feel giving it a second chance.

Wtf is this.

It definitely seems like one of those shows that just adds nudity to get people to watch, because honestly this is just a bad show. Makes no sense, it's honestly boring, the singing parts are cringe and just bad.

This show is weird and quirky, yes. But if you can keep an open mind and ignore the bad reviews, it's really fun and light hearted. My husband hates musicals and rom-coms but loved this show! It's just so random and out there, and also has a diverse cast and great writing, the only bad thing is how short it is! Season 2 please!
