Telenovela

This was a great show, I definitely didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I don't even like that many sit-coms, but I thought it was genuinely funny, and not the fake funny that the main stream crap is. All the actors were great and very likable characters. Wish this would've continued this series.

Bright, VERY colorful and amusing comedy about a beautiful actress (Eva Longoria) who's the star of a Spanish soap opera (they're called telanovels). She has to deal with back-stabbing costars, her hunky ex (who is playing her love interest in the show) and various attractive men and women.

It moves QUICKLY, has a bright tight script, good acting (Longoria is obviously having fun) and has plenty of cheesecake AND beefcake (a running joke has a particularly handsome muscular guy constantly tearing his shirt off). The plot has been done before but it's done well here. Hopefully it can be consistently clever and funny for a long run. Recommended.

This is a behind-the-scenes type of comedy about the daily shooting of a telenovela (spanish speaking soap opera) and the lives of people involved with its creation.

It is stylish, colorful with good comedic timing, decent jokes and good over-the-top performances from the cast. Mainly it exploits the stereotype of a Diva, the flashy popular female protagonist, who only cares about her image. The fun starts right from the beginning when you realize that the main star of the Telenovela (Eva Longoria) doesn't even ...speak Spanish!

Although they *not* belong in the same genre, it is unavoidable to compare this, with another telenovela-ish series, Jane the Virgin (which I stopped watching after its first season finale). Telenovela is far more entertaining and light and fun and spares you from watching an actual melodrama.

In a sentence: This is a witty comedy that will keep you entertained.

i Love it... expect the show to be light and funny. A nice watch if you just want a silly/ slap stick show. i love how all the characters make me laugh with them and at them. it kinda makes fun of the Spanish soaps, which i love cuz my sisters use to watch them and how silly i thought they were. its nice to see Eva doing a show thats in her element. i always find myself wanting more. the show reminds me of happy endings, its packed with funny and embarrassing moments. the show is not for everyone, and to have a comedy thats extremely well rounded like modern family is hard to do, so don't expect a show like that. if you want a silly and quick laugh, this show is for you.

Telenovela is a treasure. It really deserved more seasons.

The cast is hilarious.

It's a great quick binge watch, and it delivers plenty of laughs.

It's hard to say who is the funniest, because the entire cast is perfection in how they deliver their lines. The cast chemistry is amazing.
