Trois Noëls

Episode one has a good tight script, fast-paced, attractive cast. Excellent drama.

Episode two - the character Esther doesn't ring true to the one in Episode one (now an adult) - overdressed, over made-up and poor acting. Valentina is excellent, as is Adela. The father is brilliant.

Episode three - it all begins to fall apart. The script and plot is good but the actors are dreadful. Valentina, now much aged, looks more like Esther from Episode two. But what has happened to the beautiful sultry Esther from episode two? She looks completely different: fat, bloated and sedate. Plot could have been superb and deeply moving but the actors are dire. Especially Adela.

Awesome start, dragging end..

Definitely the Spanish film industry must be very grateful to Franco, more than half century and they continue to take advantage of the same plot, over and over, it is already very boring, creativity, zero.

Like most spanish series I have seen on netflix, they always deliver on production and visuals.

This one is no exception and it's lovely to see and has a very attractive cast. The first two episodes are stories within themselves that slightly bleed into each other and begin and end fairly well. The third episode however I felt absolutely no connection to the first two. They seemed to try too hard. I understand they used some very famous actresses in the last episode but they did not make this episode shine..

The first two episodes were a testament to the times and showed character. If you're an English speaker the dub over might be weird and nonsensical because they use quite a bit of slang. I am learning spanish so I did not witness the English dubbing first hand.

Lovely miniseries, the actresses are all great, starting from those who perform the sisters in childhood, passing through those that interpret them in the adulthood, to reach the apotheosis in their senior age. Angela Molina, Veronica Forquè, Charo Lopez, Victoria Abril and, last but not least, Suzi Sanchez in a secundary but very important role. Not to forget Alicia Borrachero as their mother, the only actress performing in two out of three episodes, getting older with make-up and talented interpretation. I recommend to watch this miniseries, for the script, the interpretation of all actresses and for the director's ability.
