Las viudas de los jueves

It could've been so much better. I hated the end? It lacked of strength.

But the show was very entertaining, the actors where so good, the dialogue was so real, the locations was super cool but I wish they've shown more of the contrast of life in Mexico.

That's said, other bad thing was some of the Wardrobe, not realistic in how that 1% dresses Elon Mexico.

Omar Chaparro was a very pleasant surprise, he is usually doing annoying characters on tv, this one was strong and dramatic and serious acting suits him.

But oh lord the en was so meh.... Now I am off to read the book and that may change my review.

Very dark and depressing. No likeable characters. Watched it because I could not find anything else at the moment. Very boring. A lady and the guard at the gate. Not believable. The paranoid jealousy of the husband, Not believable, although I once had a husband just like him, who did not beat me but instead humiliated me at every turn and tried to separate me from others. The plot itself, not believable.

The show was incredibly slow and boring. All 6 episodes are different POV of the same boring plot. The characters are very rigid and unlikable. There is no plot progression. The story starts and ends the same way. Also, the plot makes little or no sense. It could have been made into a movie cause the whole show could have ended in episode 1. Not really sure of what the aim of the makers were cause if anything, the entire storyline is just depressing. If you are looking for something exciting or meaningful then I absolutely do not recommend this show. Maybe nice if you need something to help you fall asleep though.

I was exited to watch the adaptation of Claudia Piñero's book. I loved the book, enjoyed reading about privileged life of the rich and demise of their souls behind their appearances.

But I could not finish the first episode. I do not understand how it became a pseudo-erotic drama and I could not stand the exaggerated performances from the actors.

I tried switching from the original spanish (my mother tongue) to another language; and although the dialog became less marred in "mexicanism" (the book is set in Argentina) the director's choices were unbearable.

The production design and some of the actors were good, that is why I am giving it 3/10. But I would avoid this aberration of a tv series.

I kept watching till the end, because I simply had to know what the hell happened to these three guys who floated dead in the pool, as we came to see in the very first scene of this Mexican mini-series. Well, the answer fortunately came, towards the end of the last episode, but I cannot say that I was very satisfied with it, or with the whole series, to be honest.

The setting in a posh community for the super rich is promising, and the format of six episodes in which we alternately follow six of the main families that live there, is a nice find, as is the gradually exposing of all their hidden dark secrets. But this sounds way better on paper than it actually turned out to be. The secrets (mostly due to the husbands) aren't very spectacular (one looses his job, another his money, a third mistreats his wife, that sort of things), and surprisingly enough these various problems hardly ever got intertwined with those of the others, but stayed in fact 6 isolated stories.

While most of the wives were very flamboyant and powerful, most of the guys were whining whimps and extremely annoying. Their ultimate pact, that led to the afore-mentioned opening scene, came totally out-of the blue and seemed in no way in sync with their supposed intelligence; surely they could have, with combined forces, have come up with a less dramatic and definitive solution to end their family problems.

The actors playing the wives were pretty good, if you can live with all the Latin temperament that most of them lavishly presented; the male actors however were rather underwhelming. There were also some teens, who did a reasonable good job, but their story-lines unfortunately led to nothing.
