Not an instant classic, but a classic at the end
Of course I´m aware of the original sitcom Married With children and that humour it had that it was so bland, like a family comedy you know. What can you expect from that right? You just had a good time and maybe good memories watching that series with your dad and mom.
Then we got the argentinian version of it. It´s really impressive what they did there. At first you have literally the same bland series as the original. The jokes were lame, the acting so narrow, like a picturesque reflection of the original. But then something happens, the writers knew that wasn´t the kind of humour they wanted for the adaptation and decided to take a leap to a real and believeble kind of jokes: local jokes, spicier, smarter... funnier. Right there, at that moment you have what has become in an instant classic, surpassing the origian. Even the character development did a full 180.
My advice, just avoid the first episodes and go to episode 37. Thank me later.
PS: fave character, Maria Elena, oscar-worthy.
