Les demoiselles du téléphone

I would love to lose myself in the Cable Girls series but am jerked out of their reality by the musical scoring of contemporary music. I mute the most egregious bits with synthesizer and electric guitar and just read the subtitles. What a shame - otherwise the show is fun with good sets and costumes.

The series is really good. It deals with a really important issue, the acting is awesome (except for Francisco) and it is a truly nice entertaining show... BUT WHAT THE H*LL IS WRONG WITH THE SOUNDTRACK? Who was responsible for this? In the beginning I couldn't keep me from laughing when hip hop and pop music started playing, but then it just started to irritate me. Really. It spoiled some parts of the series.

To those complaining about the English voice overs, you can change the settings. Netflix allows you to watch dubbed versions and/or captions in multiple languages, so you change it to Spanish with English subtitles if it bothers you so much. The options are already provided.

I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been interesting and well paced.

There is a basic concept called suspending disbelief that allows the viewer to get lost in the story, forgetting it isn't "real life".

We all adjust to seeing the 1920's in color or voice overs in stories, but this series warps time in a few ways. Music and dance circa 2017 might work in a 1920's story if the dance weren't a jolt out of time but the real problem is lyrics that mention later eras such as mentions of television one may not be able to ignore. Dance could be less jarring if a more timeless style. Thank goodness no actress tries to sell Clear Blue Easy or the pill.

It's a odd choice to have future music and I hope it doesn't spoil a decent series. Mabbe future seasons, if there are any, will use a less jolting dance and music mix with 1920's Spain that serves the story.

I liked this series so far. However, every single time the music comes on, I am pulled completely out of the story world and into modern times. This is a big mistake on the part of the producers and or directors, as music is absolutely crucial to story. This movie is set in the 1920s. Why are we listening to EDM and Euro Pop from this decade then? A bit annoying and Such a shame.
