Secretos de Familia

Total waste of time. Completely unrealistic plot, poor dialogues and characters making increasingly stupid decisions. Started well, first two episodes were interesting and funny but it went downhill from there, and the convention of the series changed from a pleasant comedy to a very poor mix of absurd comedy, bloody drama and pure nonsense. The series mixes timelines/jumps back and forth between events - I imagine the idea was to let the viewer make up their mind about characters and events, to then make them reevaluate their opinions by revealing new facts and viewpoints - but it failed miserably. Characters would have to be sociopaths and have extremely bad selective amnesia to make it all tie up in any way.

Seriously? They made long eight episodes with all these uncountable flashbacks to give us nothing in the very end?

The idea of telling story about an neverending wedding day when two unhappy people who even don't love each other and have a very complicated history of the last eight months cannot get married is not bad at all. But not in eight episodes. Not these more and more story plots and characters.

Three or four compact episodes with less characters and with cancelled unnecessary comedy elements and added more developed drama, then it would be excellent. Now it looks like silly soap opera, unfortunately.

This is one of the best miniseries I've seen lately, it manages brilliantly to keep the interest, the suspense, there's a surprise at every corner. Family and couples, all intertwined in an entertaining way.

Mostly a comedy, but with lots of the drama that comes always with the family theme; then we have almost a thriller at times, a sense of danger, but there's constantly a good feeling about the characters and their struggles, a hope that it will all be fine.

And that wedding...it seems that it will never happen, all kind of elements show up and interrupt, like a neverending story....there's something strange in the air, besides love.

Older viewers will remember Soap the 80s comedy take on Soap Operas. This is a more serious, better acted, sharper scripted and beautifully filmed re-imagining. Yes it is farce-like (and the leapimg about in time is confusing to start but it does start to make sense se eventually so stick with it) so those saying it is unreal are missing the point. As well as some very funny scenes, there are surprisingly tender and moving parts. Don't watch the dubbed version. You always miss out if you don't have the a ties own voices. There are many very good actors in this ensemble. We really enjoyed it. Europeans seem to make really thoughtful television . I hope there is a second series. Highly recommendend.

... it's kinda like you really don't like any of them, they're all annoying, doing stupid, dumb things that most anyone would not be doing... engaging in behaviors Trumplike with abandon, and hating each other over and over again for most any-all of it... is it done well.. yes, overly-repetitive (up to couple episodes worth), yet does that make it not worth watching, who knows your call

... wither or not there's going to be any more of it as said, yet to be established.. Next-Episode still showing it as "On-Hiatus"... being on Netflix there's good numbers have a shot at watching, yet IMDb's still recording less than eight-hundred ratings, with an overall score of near '6', written-reviews-mixed, so that's not terrible, but if it's enough for another season's Y2bD.
